Things are hopping in this election year, so I'm not always writing here as much as I'd like to. But I've still got my pundit hat on. Some other places I was hanging out this week? I was over at POLITICO's Arena with my political strategist hat on talking about the imminent end of New [...]
Mitt Romney was the big winner on Super Tuesday. Or was he? Yes, he placed first in six of the ten state races. Yes, he came out on top in Ohio, the most watched contest of the night. But it's hard for anyone who's objective about the primaries and caucuses to say Romney got the [...]
South Carolina women loved Newt Gingrich. Women voters in Florida? Not so much. The results of the Florida Republican presidential primary show that while the ladies in the Palmetto State liked what Gingrich had to say as a candidate, the gals in the Sunshine State wanted another candidate to take to the general election prom. [...]
Who are the current Republican candidates running for president? The list is changing every week, as some of the candidates we thought we'd see through more of the primary season have dropped out. We've said goodbye to Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman. But here's what you need to know about the remaining candidates [...]
So the conservative right is coming to the defense of Newt "I will always defend traditional marriage" Gingrich -- the man who tried to bring down President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair while at the same time telling his wife who'd just been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis that he either wanted an "open [...]
It was the best of time and it was the worst of times for Newt Gingrich today. I couldn't help thinking both of that line from A Tale of Two Cities with the political events of the day, as well as doing a little riff in this post's title from Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, [...]
There is just TOO much going on in the world of presidential politics to weigh in on all the pundit-y goodness that could surely fill pages of this site! But what's a girl to do when the whole world of Republican politics looks like it's turning upside down? I was all set to [...]
This was a big weekend for political junkies. Two, count 'em, two GOP debates took place back-to-back on the eve of the Republican New Hampshire primary election scheduled this coming Tuesday. After Republican front runner Mitt Romney barely won the Iowa Caucuses by a mere eight votes, observers were confident that Saturday night's [...]
What do you get if you cross Ebeneezer Scrooge and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas? Why, Newt Gingrich, of course! Well, at least in demeanor, if not in actual appearance. You may recall that old Ebeneezer was a man who thought eating too much was a wasteful sin and the former Speaker of the House [...]
In case you hit the sack early on Wednesday night, or just didn't have the stomach to watch the Republican canned speech event debate, here's a quick recap for your weekend cocktail party discussion pleasure: Newt Gingrich -- You kids get off my lawn! Rick Perry -- Texas: The Death Penalty State. What's It to [...]

Just as in the world of dating and matrimony, some political character traits or policy positions are deal breakers. Smoking, chewing tobacco and an addiction to the current version of guy buddy movies? If I were still in the land of dating, any one of those would make me send a guy packing. When it [...]
Newt Gingrich will never be the President of the United States. I sound pretty sure of that, don't I? Do I know something the other pundits don't? Do I have some nugget of inside information that's tipped me off to a secret Gingrich ruse? Sort of. The secret is this -- Newt Gingrich is Newt [...]
