Pro-Huckabee group goes up with anti-Romney ad

Trust Huckabee, the somewhat controversial pro-Huckabee 501(c)(4), has gone up on the air with a pro-Huckabee ad and launched an anti-Romney site.
No news yet about the size of the buy. It does strike me that, at this point, Mike Huckabee is more likely to lose votes to someone else than to Romney. Romney’s ads probably […]

Romney cites his education as authority

The whole Mitt Romney/Martin Luther King thing just gets weirder and weirder. He told the Detroit Free Press:
"You know, I’m an English literature major as well. When we say, ‘I saw the Patriots win the World Series, it doesn’t necessarily mean you were there — excuse me, the Super Bowl. I saw my dad […]

Mitt’s Meet mistakes

It has turned out that Mitt Romney’s Meet the Press appearance appeared decent at the time, but mistakes seem to be coming out of the woodwork. Race 4 2008 has one write-up.
First, there was Romney’s lie about the NRA endorsement. He claimed that he had received it in 2002. He hadn’t. Just made it up.
Second, […]

Overtones of VA GOP’s position on “Statement of Intent”

Last night the Virginia GOP passed a resolution:
The Republican Party of Virginia State Central Committee yesterday evening passed a motion requesting the Virginia State Board of Elections withdraw the “statement of intent” requirement before participating in the 2008 Republican presidential primary contest.
While the committee did request the Virginia State Board of Elections to withdraw the […]

Wherein K-Lo complains

How do you submit these questions with any self-respect? She’s basically saying "Romney is the right guy, why don’t you agree?" That’s not an interview.  That’s not credible. Is this what has happened to NRO?

NRLC goes with Fred Thompson

This is a shocker to me. Apparently tomorrow the National Right to Life Committee will endorse Fred Thompson. I have confirmation from a member of the committee. And, apparently, they are moving quickly to try to stop Rudy Giuliani.
There are several frames to look at this through:

What this means for the pro-life movement in the […]

Brownback endorsement: Rudy and Romney

Last week, Sam Brownback met with Rudy Giuliani. Deal Hudson has an account that concurs with what I have heard from Brownback associates and with what Brownback’s people have told outside groups:

Brownback caused a controversy by accepting an invitation from Rudy Giuliani to discuss life issues following the Senator’s decision to drop out of the […]

NRLC disavows Bopp’s Brownback statements

Yesterday, Jim Bopp, a supporter of Mitt Romney and former General Counsel (they actually spend text clarifying that he is the former)  to the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) attacked Sam Brownback for saying something nice about Rudy Giuliani.
Turns out that he was nasty enough that NRLC disavowed his statements. I have obtained a […]

Republican primary voters still unaware Giuliani is pro-choice?

In what can only be described as a hit-job, the NYT ran a story about Rudy Giuliani in the presidential race… on 9-11? Part of the story was a poll.
This poll puts Rudy at 27% with Fred Thompson at 22%, John "Not Dead Yet" McCain at 18%, and Mitt Romney at 14%. So a clear […]

Romney changing his story on abortion again

GraniteGrok has the video. Mark Kilmer at Redstate thinks Mitt Romney is wrong about Reagan and abortion.
