The OBAMA-AXELROD Class-Warfare Machine – AmerSpectator
By MB Snow at January 15, 2012 | 12:27 am
Obama strategist David Axelrod set his sights on capitalist pig Mitt Romney long before Newt Gingrich did. Conservatives are upset with Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry for their criticisms of Mitt Romney and his work at Bain Capital. Some of the statements smack of classic left-wing class warfare -- heretofore the domain of liberals, Wall Street Occupiers, Barack ... Go To Article

Wm KRISTOL:: ELECTION 2012: ‘The Last Chance’? | The Weekly Standard
By MB Snow at January 12, 2012 | 3:02 pm
I’m flattered to be welcomed by Karl Rove, writing in today’s Wall Street Journal, to membership in the GOP establishment. I’m even more pleased by Rove’s statement that “No group of power brokers can pressure others into uniting behind one candidate. Millions of primary voters and caucus-goers will select the GOP's nominee. That's good enough for most of ... Go To Article

By MB Snow at January 12, 2012 | 9:33 am
BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. (AP) -- Presidential candidate Rick Perry's criticism of Mitt Romney's business past had a boomerang effect Thursday, costing him the support of a prominent Republican in South Carolina. Investment fund executive and top GOP donor Barry Wynn told The Associated Press he was leaving the Perry fold to endorse Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. ... Go To Article

JOHN PODHORETZ:: MITT ROMNEY: A weak candidate set to win – NYPOST
By MB Snow at January 11, 2012 | 8:55 am
Perplexing but true: Mitt Romney is on the glide path to the most easily secured nomination a Republican presidential candidate has ever had — while being one of the weakest major candidates either party has ever seen. It is entirely possible that Romney will win every major contest from here on in, just as he won New Hampshire last night and Iowa last week. He is ... Go To Article

By MB Snow at January 10, 2012 | 9:59 am
There is an eerie similarity between the last two New Hampshire tracking polls reporting numbers as voters there go to the polls. Both the Rasmussen poll conducted Sunday evening and the Suffolk tracking poll condicted on Sunday and Monday nights show Mitt Romney with 37% of the vote. Both show Ron Paul in second place, at 17% and 18%, with Jon Huntsman just two points ... Go To Article

STEPHEN F. HAYES::Romney Mediocre, Santorum Strong, Gingrich Mixed | The Weekly Standard
By MB Snow at January 8, 2012 | 1:02 pm
If Mitt Romney survived—even thrived—in the Republican debate Saturday night in Manchester, his rivals succeeded in attacking him less than twelve hours later in Concord. On Sunday morning, both Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich may have done damage to Romney with their critiques. The attacks were not race-changing hits, but they nonetheless highlighted Romney's ...

By MB Snow at January 8, 2012 | 9:37 am
We got more tussle, as my Examiner colleague Philip Klein points out, and a whole bunch of dumb questions in the Meet the Press/NBC/Facebook/Union Leader/Channel 7 debate (are these things improved by having more sponsors? No) this morning. Newt Gingrich attacked Mitt Romney for his allegedly moderate and timid record as governor of Massachusetts, which gave Romney an ... Go To Article

CONCORD, N.H.—Mitt Romney faced withering fire from his rivals for the GOP presidential nomination Sunday, criticized for being what they said was an inauthentic conservative and as much a career politicians as any other candidate. Just two days before the New Hampshire primary, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and other GOP candidates argued with new force in a ... Go To Article

By MB Snow at January 8, 2012 | 9:03 am
In this morning's Republican presidential debate on NBC, Mitt Romney came under fire from multiple corners. Jon Huntsman decried decisive rhetoric while touting his bold tax and entitlement reform ideas that were more conservative than anybody else on stage. And Texas Gov. Rick Perry made an articulate -- and at times, forceful -- case that he was the consistent ... Go To Article

Outside the Santorum headquarters I was approached by Rod Olson, who flew in on Wednesday from Modesto, California, to work for Santorum. He’s a stay-at-home dad whose wife Kristin Olsen is a member of the California Assembly. Campaigns for him “are like fantasy baseball, he said, and he’d been planning to come out to New Hampshire and work for someone. “I looked ... Go To Article
