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
The Dream Team
by Eric M. Blake January 30th, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, Presidential Election, Republican Reflections
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

Primaries, Primaries, and More Primaries
by T Akery December 30th, 2011 | Political Polls, Presidential Election
Unfortunately, every four years brings a very unpleasant after-New Year's present, the Party Primaries. This year it is the Republican primaries. The Primaries often have a way of overshadowing everything else that happens before and after Christmas. This year's fight is no different from those of the past. It is a time of year that most people endure rather than actually take an interest in. Who can blame them? For the most part, it resembles an all out brawl but without any real physical confrontation.

Herman Cain – Winner
by Ronald A. Rowe September 28th, 2011 | General Politics, Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Sometimes you see it coming; sometimes you don’t. The biggest winner and loser of the week this week came as a shock to everyone.
Winners:
The political winner of the week this week? No doubt about it: Herman Cain. Cain shocked… well, everybody by winning the Presidency 5 straw poll in Florida. To say Cain won the straw poll is to understate just how overwhelmingly he dominated. Cain, who is not among the top tier of Republican candidates in the national polls, garnered 37.1% of the votes cast by the 3,500 or so Republican faithful in the straw poll. He alone

Welcome to the one and only place on the Internet where you can get all the highs and lows from the world of politics in a scant few paragraphs. Remember, Winners and Losers isn’t about being a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. It isn’t even about being good or bad. It’s all about whether you were the dog or the fire hydrant this week.
Winners:
Outsiders – No matter what happens from here on in with the debt ceiling negotiations, those in the best position to exploit it in the 2012 elections will be those who were nowhere near this mess when
