Pence for President?

Posted on November 24th, 2010

By:  Katrina Trinko NRO No one has gone straight from the House to the White House since James Garfield. Mike Pence might be the one. He hasn’t held executive office. He isn’t a paid Fox News contributor. He hasn’t written a best-seller or starred in a reality show. So is there any reason Rep. Mike [...]

Some very interesting notes from “Mike Allen’s Playbook” over at POLITICO.  Fascinating to see how the enormous interest in the 2010 mid-terms has affected the timing of the 2012 hopefuls. On another note, it was very gratifying to see that the Tea Party candidates did well last night.  The Pubbies have to realize that if [...]

Wanted: short, fat white man to succeed Barack Obama

Posted on March 7th, 2010

I wanted to repost this article from the British paper The Telegraph.Co.Uk because I thought it was an interesting take on our political situation from a European point of view. I am most assuredly not endorsing the opinion that our next American President be white, short, bald or any other physical characteristic. Competent? Oh, yes. [...]
