Chatter about Huntsman

Racist Tea Party

All the liberal media sources that have continuously cried racism at the Tea Party remain
(un)surprisingly mum about the fact that the Tea Party's most popular candidate is black. Why is no one stating the obvious?

Truth-teller? WSJ says not so much



Name Recognition



Herman Cain has been looking increasingly strong, though I doubt his candidacy has sufficient support (i.e. money, party infrastructure, quality staff & advisers) to enable him to make a serious challenge for the nomination. Still, he might end up being the Tea Party/crazy fringe candidate of choice.

Also, this paragraph from the linked article caught my eye:
"Also gaining in name ID is former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. He's been seen as one of the race's front-runners despite his relatively low name recognition, but Gallup reports half the party now knows who he is. That's a 10-point jump from last month."


Good for him.

A refresher for those a little rusty from the Spring...

The WSJ Editorial Page at Work

Are the "Young Guns" a Threat to Boehner's Speakership?


A pretty long article about the dynamics within the GOP leadership. I found it interesting to read about the personal relationships and ambitions of Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy and Ryan. I personally don't think that Boehner is going to be able to hold onto the House GOP caucus for that much longer because he's much more of an 'old school' Republican/ dealmaker. Also, Cantor seems like a pretty feisty and ambitious lieutenant who is much more respected by the more conservative, GOP freshmen. I'd rather keep Boehner on top; Cantor doesn't seem very smart or willing to work with Democrats on anything, which at this point, is necessary for the governing of our country.
