I am off to the Young Republican National Convention in Miami. I will be blogging some of it on-site. Mitt Romney will be speaking, as will Duncan Hunter. There will be a bunch of other exciting events, including a straw poll. The last big Young Republican straw poll last year was 1 vote win by […]
This time Mitt Romney is misrepresenting Jeb Bush’s record, and his own, as he continues to struggle both the substance and appearance of his pandering flip-flop on immigration.
So these days, Mitt Romney is claiming that he has a strong record because he cut a deal but never implemented an agreement to allow state police to […]
A week into the debate and Romney is already changing his tune. This weekend in South Carolina, Romney said:
“If that’s not a form of amnesty, I don’t know what is,” Romney said. “I think we should not call it the ‘Z visa,’ we should call it the ‘A visa’ because it’s amnesty and that’s what […]
Datamar has a poll of the 2008 GOP Florida primary. Race42008’s HeavyM says, "who in the world is DataMar?"

Yesteday, I wrote about the possibility of Mitt Romney facing political problems in Florida because of his pandering flip-flop on immigration. ABC picked up on the issue, and pointed out that Jeb Bush was "disappointed."

But his immigration stance is at odds with some of the […]
The Washington Times has a good story about why this calendar is still in flux. First Florida moves up. Now the South Carolina GOP is talking about moving up:
"We have the latitude as a party of setting our own primary dates and we are going to move our primary accordingly before January 29 to ensure […]
There has been speculation that Rudy Giuliani is playing very carefully on the immigration issue because he wants Schwarzenegger’s endorsement.
I have a related theory. Is Mitt Romney hurting himself with Jeb Bush because of his flip-flopping pander on immigration?
Several points as you think about this. First Jeb Bush has spoken out strongly on immigration. […]
As has been repeatedly noted, the primary calendar is strongly in flux. However, one of the most interesting questions is: what happens if New Hampshire moves up sharply, as I expect it will. Consider some facts:
New Hampshire is committed (and empowered) to move up before, at least, Nevada, meaning that the latest it is held […]
I noted earlier that Mitt Romney’s team took down video of Romney quoting Castro. One of the local news stations has the clip and used it to contrast with John McCain’s more successful visit:

This is brutal. The rumors were thick yesterday, but it hit. Ambassador Richard Blackenship, a major Florida donor, switched from Romney to Giuliani. Check out part of the letter:
"The changes in core beliefs gave rise to some concerns. You have to have an anchor in life," he said of Romney. "Mayor Giuliani has a firm, […]
