FRED BARNES:: The Circular Firing Squad | Weekly Standard
By MB Snow at January 15, 2012 | 12:30 am
The Republican death wish is back. It’s the habit of Republicans to do something crazy or stupid that diminishes their election prospects. Think of Watergate in the 1970s. In the 2006 midterm elections, the disclosure of Florida congressman Mark Foley’s flirtation with Capitol pages turned a defeat into a landslide loss. A few unelectable candidates denied Republicans ... Go To Article

Of course President Obama is not concentrating on campaigning, White House press spokesmen assured us -- as the president headed off to Chicago for three fundraisers and a drop-in at his campaign headquarters, two days after a high-roller fundraising choked off traffic five blocks from the White House, with the assistance of a score of D.C. police cars.

KUDLOW:: Is Romney’s Bain Capital Type of Treatment Just What America Needs? – New York Sun
By MB Snow at January 15, 2012 | 12:26 am
There’s a troubled company out there called U.S. Government, Inc. It’s teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. It badly needs to be taken over and turned around. It probably even needs the services of a good private-equity firm, with plenty of experience and a reasonably good track record in downsizing, modernizing, shrinking staff, and making substantial changes in ...

By MB Snow at January 15, 2012 | 12:05 am
His rivals have tried to chip away at his business record and they've hit him on abortion. Now, Rick Santorum is calling him "bland and boring." And Newt Gingrich is chiding him for, among other things, once strapping the family dog to a kennel on the roof of his car and speaking French. It's a reflection of Romney's strong standing in the race for the GOP presidential ... Go To Article
