The Road to 2012
Greetings and welcome to a New Year here at Solid Principles. I’m back from a sabbatical, mostly my thoughts have been spread on my Facebook account, and random thoughts at Twitter. Prior to resuming Podcasting, I felt it was time to share my thoughts via this article on the Republican Primaries, given that we have [...]

Straw Poll is Anyone’s Game
Read Complete Article at the desmoinesregister.com Toss out a lot of the normal rules when sizing up the potential impact of this year’s Ames straw poll. Curveballs have reshaped typical expectations: the Republican presidential race’s late start, unrest within the party, the national front-runner sitting it out, and a large bloc of undecided Iowa voters who [...]

No Laughing Matter Over Bachmann
To paraphrase Pastor Martin Niemöller: First they came for Hillary, and I didn’t speak out because I didn’t support Hillary. Then they came for Palin, and I didn’t speak out because I thought Palin was nuts. Then they came for the Bachmann, and I didn’t speak out because, I was so used to open misogyny. With the absence of [...]

Tiring of Palin in Iowa
Wow….Pretty devastating comments from an important political operator in the first in the nation caucus state of Iowa. If I were advising Sarah Palin on her 2012 strategy, I would tell her she needs to make a quality decision on whether she wants to just continue to hawk her books and TV specials or if [...]

So much for Sarah Palin as a serious ’12 contender
There was a time last summer and fall, when Tea Party ideologues like Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell and Joe Miller were winning key Republican Senate primaries, that it seemed quite possible — maybe even inevitable — that the Republican Party would nominate Sarah Palin for president in 2012. Here were Republican primary voters shedding all [...]

First in nation, last with Sarah Palin
By: Alexander Burns If Sarah Palin decides to run for president, she could quickly find that it’s not Arizona, but New Hampshire that poses the bigger threat to her candidacy. That’s because in all of her travels since the 2008 election – during the midterm campaign and across two expansive book tours – the former [...]
Courting begins in 2012 early states
By: Jake Sherman and Manu Raju POLITICO The friendly phone calls are incoming, presidential wannabes are showering them with praise and their campaign accounts have been flooded with fat checks from people with names like Palin, Romney and Gingrich.

By JONATHAN MARTIN & BEN SMITH POLITICO Dial down the deafening Sarah Palin buzz for just a moment: The most consequential decision in the 2012 Republican presidential sweepstakes could be whether Mike Huckabee decides to run again – and associates say the former Arkansas governor may well take the plunge.
