Before we get on to the regular Winners and Losers, I’d like to get personal with you – I feel like our relationship has hit the stage where I can share this with you – and talk about my individual struggle with the Florida primary coming up on January 31st. I’ve normally made up my mind long before this point in the primary process. But not this time around. This time, I’m still trying to decide on a candidate. And believe it or not, the wild card in my deliberations is Ron Paul.
I know I’ve been tough on old
Is Obama A Socialist?
by Jessica B. January 31st, 2012 | Political Opinions, Presidential News
During the 2008 elections, and all throughout Obama's presidency, his opponents have been throwing all kinds of descriptive terms at him, hoping some would stick. He is either a Muslim, or a follower of a misleading racist Christian preacher. But the one that keeps coming back is the S word. Obama is a socialist. He will make America socialist. There is no turning back and we will lose all of our freedoms to socialism.
But three years into his presidency, I think it is fair enough to come to the conclusion that while Obama may be a lot of things,

South Carolina Speaks
by Ronald A. Rowe January 25th, 2012 | Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Wow. South Carolina surprised me. I was forced to go back and rethink my observations from earlier in the week. Read on to see what went up and what came down this week in the world of politics.
WINNERS:
Newt Gingrich
A stellar performance at the debate and a big win in South Carolina has Newt Gingrich back on top of the Republican field. The Republican nomination may not be as wrapped up as it appeared. Although Gingrich's baggage would most likely spell disaster in a general election, it would be something special to see him debate President Obama.

Expectations for President Obama and Congress
by T Akery January 24th, 2012 | Congress, Political Opinions, Presidential News
With the Presidential elections coming up in November and the political environment in campaign mode, there are still major expectations on the President and Congress to get at least a few things done before the end of the year. There are a couple of things on the list that President Obama and Congress must and should do before they ditch their jobs in favor of the campaign trail. As much fun as fundraising and campaigning can be, there is still a job to do in Washington and so far it hasn't been done.

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
