I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

by Doug Mataconis @ Wednesday, December 12th, 2007. Filed under 2008 Election, Fred Thompson, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Politics, Republicans, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, Tom Tancredo

This afternoon, the Republican candidates for President, including the quixotic and slightly odd Alan Keyes, met in Des Moines Iowa for their final debate before the January 3rd Iowa Caucuses.
To say that this debate was anti-climactic is an understatement. The moderator, Carolyn Washburn, is the editor of the Des Moines Register and, quite honestly, it’s [...]

by Doug Mataconis @ Wednesday, November 28th, 2007. Filed under 2008 Election, Fred Thompson, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Politics, Republicans, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, Tom Tancredo

Well, that was a complete and total waste of about two hours of my life.
Tonight, the Republican candidates for President (not including Alan Keyes, who’s campaign has somehow gotten my email address and decided to bombard me with daily updates) gathered in Florida for their version of 2008’s latest fad……..a bunch of inane debate questions [...]

Tom Tancredo: Vote For Me Or Terrorists Will Blow Up Shopping Malls

by Doug Mataconis @ Monday, November 12th, 2007. Filed under 2008 Election, Politics, Tom Tancredo

It may well be the most cynical campaign ad since LBJ’s Daisy commercial back in 1964, and Tom Tancredo is trying to put it on television in Iowa:

Despicable, sensationalistic, and stupid. If Tancredo thinks this is going to get him out the cellar, he’s kidding himself.
And for those of you who don’t remember the Daisy [...]

by Doug Mataconis @ Wednesday, October 10th, 2007. Filed under 2008 Election, Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Politics, Republicans, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, Sam Brownback, Tom Tancredo

A 7 minute montage of Ron Paul’s answers at yesterday’s debate:

I was able to watch the entire debate live yesterday, which was actually a first to me. On the whole, I wasn’t all that impressed with anyone. For one thing, CNBC/MSNBC billed the debate as one that would focus solely on the economy and yet, [...]

Mitt Romney Wins The Ames Straw Poll

by Doug Mataconis @ Sunday, August 12th, 2007. Filed under 2008 Election, Fred Thompson, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Politics, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, Sam Brownback, Tom Tancredo, Tommy Thompson

Considering both the amount of money he spent, and the fact that two of his top competitors weren’t actively participating, it should come as no surprise that Mitt Romney basically cleaned up in the Ames straw poll yesterday:
AMES, Iowa, Aug. 11 — With a convincing victory in the Republican straw poll here Saturday, former Massachusetts [...]
