Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Festive Kwanzaa. Fabulous Winter Solstice. Whatever it is you’re celebrating this week, we at Camp Campaign wish you a good one of those. May your name always turn up in the Winners section.
Despite the joyful holiday spirit in the halls of Camp Campaign HQ, our panel of pundits still turned in more Losers than Winners this week.
WINNERS:
General Motors –
According to a new analysis from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, General Motors and its various suppliers have received or been promised roughly $3 billion in incentives to produce the Chevy Volt, a hybrid plug-in electric

‘Tis The Season…?

Merry Christmas!
There—I said it. Sue me.
Okay…in all seriousness, it happens every December: one of the most pathetic and sorry examples of Political Correctness out there. I’m referring, of course, to the effort to suppress Christmas in the public square—to the point of not even saying “the C word”.
When I was younger, we were worried about “X-mas”. Now…“X-mas” is technically much ado about nothing. Its roots are pretty interesting: see, as it turns out, the “X” isn’t really an “X”. It’s actually a Greek “chi”…which was often used by ancient Christians as shorthand for “Christ”. (“Chi” is the Greek for

Burying Cain
by Jason Lightner December 9th, 2011 | Independent Ideas
As Presidential hopeful Herman Cain announced the suspension of his campaign on December 3rd, the media world was abuzz. Cain, who made the shocking announcement amid mounting controversy surrounding allegations of sexual harassment and adultery, was considered by many in the media to be a front-runner in the Republican race for nomination.
The Onion got this one right with their headline "Rumors Of Extramarital Affair End Campaign Of Presidential Candidate Who Didn't Know China Has Nuclear Weapons". And before Mr. Blake asks for it, here's video proof.
Cain is apparently also the guy who sees no problem with quoting Pokémon

Newt Ascendant
by Ronald A. Rowe November 23rd, 2011 | Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Political commentary on the web is so segregated. You’ve got the Conservatives who will bash anything Occupy Wall Street or President Obama does without critical analysis. You’ve got the Liberals who are going to despise the Tea Party and Rush Limbaugh regardless of merit. Isn’t it nice to find one place on the Internet where everybody gets mocked, regardless of political stripe? Welcome to the Winners and Losers for the week ending November 20, 2011.
WINNERS:
Newt Gingrich –
With Herman Cain falling out of favor due to the mounting accusations against him, Newt Gingrich (pictured) gets a nice bounce with

Surprising Winners and Losers of the Week
by Ronald A. Rowe November 8th, 2011 | Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
A disgraced former congressman among the Winners? The Republican front runner among the Losers? One person landed on both lists? It was a topsy-turvy week in the world of Politics.
WINNERS:
Anthony Weiner --
Don't get me wrong, disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner is still a loser in the grand scheme of things. But he earns a spot in this week's Winners' column for a long-ago prediction that finally came true. Before his indiscretions made him a laughing-stock, Weiner busied himself railing against a company called Goldline, which promised big profits from buying gold. This week, the State of California filed charges
