This week is the week of the Florida primary—the primary for my state. Naturally, since that’s my state, my readers are going to want to know who I endorse for President.
I’ll do more than that, here. I’m not just going to endorse a ticket. I will lay out who I want in an ideal administration—and give my reasons why. So, without further ado…
The ticket: Of the Final Four, my favorite, as you probably know, is Rick Santorum. Still, the practical guy in me understands the argument that Mitt and Newt have more momentum. Of those two, I’d pick Mitt

The Final Four
by Eric M. Blake January 23rd, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, Presidential Election, Republican Reflections
By the time you read this article, the South Carolina primary will have already been decided. On the night of this article’s publication, a debate will be held between the last Republican candidates—at my university, no less!
This is it. There are only four left. Many a candidate has dropped out, been thrown out, or otherwise been weeded out. Needless to say, none of our choices is perfect—Marco Rubio flat-out stated, “No—not this year.”
So let’s look at the folks we have—and let the chips fall where they may.
Mitt Romney: The most electable candidate—the most powerful candidate—the strongest against Obama—all that’s been

More Winners than Losers
by Ronald A. Rowe January 18th, 2012 | Presidential Election, Winners & Losers, World Politics
Our panel of experts was feeling pretty chipper this week. We've got more Winners than Losers on the list. Read on to see who's riding high and who fell out of the saddle this week.
WINNERS:
Tim Tebow
Sure, he and his Denver Broncos lost the AFC Divisional playoff game to a vastly superior New England Patriots team. And yes, he's being mocked by the likes of Bill Maher and his bigoted, anti-Christian ilk. But Tim Tebow is obscenely popular across the Fruited Plain for a first year starting quarterback. His name has become a verb. Aspiring athletes everywhere are Tebowing

Has Obama Tried To Compromise?
by Jessica B. January 17th, 2012 | Presidential Election
In my last post about the positive things Obama has done during his first three years, I got a great deal of response from both sides of the political coin, and that was good to see. But one thing that became evident in the comments I got was that a lot of us on the left view Obama as a compromiser, but those on the right do not. While I understand a lot of us have different base political views – I wonder how it is we can see the same thing so differently.

Ron Paul Calls Gingrich a Chickenhawk
by Jason Lightner January 13th, 2012 | Independent Ideas, Presidential Election
I'd like to quickly direct your attention to a little video from the ABC Republican debate in New Hampshire. It involves two of my favorite politicians, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. You might be asking yourself "well, I get that Ron Paul is one of his favorites, but why Gingrich?"
It's simple, really. In any sane world, where media coverage and public opinion was based on verifiable truth instead of the constant manure that is spewed from the fat mouths of these disingenuous and corrupt career-politician, aristocratic, white-collar criminal sociopaths, Newt Gingrich would have been out on his keister a
