Yes, you read that right. Another day, another crazy outcome in the GOP primary season. Well, actually 3 crazy outcomes. Here’s the lowdown from Politico: Rick Santorum dealt an embarrassing setback to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign Tuesday night, sweeping non-binding contests across three states and raising new questions about conservatives’ willingness to accept Romney as [...]

According to FiveThirtyEight, looks like Mitt is certain to win in Florida tonight… The support for Gingrich had the floor drop out of it for two reasons. First, Romney has been outspending like crazy has gone gone incredibly negative. Second, Romney was better at the last debate. Had their been an additional debate scheduled, Newt [...]

As the primaries drag on, and the candidates make their cases for Nationwide hot button issues that effect their voter sway, a lot of us focus on the financial crisis that stares down on America. Mitt Romney, for example, has a tax plan that so clearly favors the rich, and from that stems the curiousity [...]

Well, you could see this one coming from a mile away… From Gallup… The most shocking stat? Romney’s 23 point lead has evaporated…in a week! Romney held a 23-point lead over Gingrich as recently as Jan. 11-15. Thus, in a matter of one week, Republicans who are registered to vote have shifted their support substantially [...]

Rasmussen has the numbers… Less than two weeks ago, Mitt Romney had a 22-point lead in Florida, but that’s ancient history in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Following his big win in South Carolina on Saturday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich now is on top in Florida by nine. The latest Rasmussen Reports [...]

Pubilc Policy Polling, which has done some great work over the years, has Gingrich up in their first day of polling: Newt Gingrich led Mitt Romney 34-28 in PPP’s South Carolina polling last night, the first of what will be three nights of tracking. Ron Paul at 15%, Rick Santorum at 14%, Rick Perry at [...]

Pundits tend to obsess over people who will never accept the #2 spot on the ticket. For instance, during the 2008 election, every other article was about how Barack Obama was “definitely going to select Hillary Rodham Clinton as his VP,” but deep down, you had to know that wasn’t going to happen — not [...]

Over at Slate they point out some interesting parallels between 2008 and 2012. Any of this sound familiar? The social conservative (wins/almost wins, depending on what math you believe) Iowa. Flush with victory, eager to prove himself in all battlegrounds, he spends most of the next week in New Hampshire. But the surge can only [...]

And he raised quite a bit in Q4 2011. From The Hill… Mitt Romney followed up an easy victory in the New Hampshire primary by announcing he raised $24 million in the last three months of 2012, further establishing himself as the candidate to defeat in the GOP presidential race. The total is the strongest [...]

NBC is already calling it with 17% reporting, and it would definitely be difficult for anybody to catch up in such a divided field. Too many candidates taking away votes from each other. The numbers… Mitt Romney – 35% Ron Paul – 25% Jon Huntsman – 17% Newt Gingrich – 11% Rick Santorum – 10% [...]

Mitt walked away with it. No question. Nobody was able to hurt him and since he’s up in New Hampshire and South Carolina…this nomination process could be over very quickly. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

Public Policy Polling is out with their final numbers and it’s a photo finish… It looks like pretty much everybody has lost support in this except Santorum and Gingrich. And Santorum hasn’t had millions of dollars in negative ads lobbed his way. Maybe that’s why his favorability numbers are so high… Santorum’s net favorability of [...]

Maybe Newt isn’t quite out of it yet… From WashPost: Gingrich and Romney are each favored by 30 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Running behind them is Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.), whose libertarian philosophy has attracted a strong following. He stands at 15 percent, about double his tally in an early November poll. All [...]

First, let’s look at the numbers compared between the last poll and this one… So why has Newt lost traction? A few reasons… Gingrich has now seen a big drop in his Iowa standing two [...]

As many of you know, I’m a poll junkie and the

We all knew this would happen sooner or later, but Romney seems to be finally throwing his Massachusetts healthcare plan under the bus. ABC takes a look at the upcoming speech: Former Massachusetts Governor and likely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will outline his approach to health care reform in Michigan Thursday, announcing a plan [...]

And he did it on Twitter no less. Very 2011 Mitt. But why not a #tcot hashtag? Here’s the video: Looks like Mitt is taking the “insulated President” tact and it’s an easy hit. As President, Obama doesn’t come off as the warmest guy and this is a good place to start. However, as a [...]

Here’s how it shook out, according to CNN: Huckabee: 23% Gingrich: 11% Bachmann: 10% Romney: 8% Pawlenty: 7% Trump: 7% The rest (Haley Barbour, John Bolton, Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain, Mitch Daniels, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum): 34% The usual caveats apply…straw polls are usually just a popularity [...]
