He can dish it out but he can’t take it. Newt Gingrich’s entire career has been filled with unbelievable vitriol against his opponents, yet when he’s hit by Romney’s SuperPAC he wilts. He stomps his feet. He calls Mitt a liar. Yes, Mr. Positive – the one who vowed to run a positive campaign — now has been reduced to calling people names. Newt, the one who compliments other candidates for running a nicer campaign not like somebody we know. This... Read more
It’s correct-the-record day here regarding Mitts’ record on life and marriage. First, we all know Mitt Romney is a convert on the life issue, so his record prior to that conversion is checkered, at best. Second, it’s beyond dispute that Mitt’s record in office on life issues was far, far better than, say, Ronald Reagan’s before he became president. (Mitt vetoed pro-abortion legislation and won an award from his state’s most prominent pro-life advocacy group; Governor Reagan signed into law... Read more
No American governor has faced more critical cultural issues than Mitt Romney, Massachusetts’ chief executive from 2003 to 2007. In the midst of Governor Romney’s efforts to rescue his state from a fiscal crisis and create lasting and innovative health care solutions, activist judges and a far-left legislature forced issues of same-sex “marriage,” abortion, religious liberty, stem cell research, and gay rights into the forefront. Each time he was challenged, the Governor not only made the conservative choice, but also... Read more
To my Iowa Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I get it. You have people like Bob Vander Plaats who are trying to get you to vote for Rick Santorum, even though you know he has no chance to beat Obama. (Though he’s a great Catholic guy, he was so intimidated by the Virginia ballot process that he simply slunk away without even trying to give Virginians the option of voting for him.) You love Michele Bachmann’s personal story, her faith,... Read more
With all the hoopla surrounding the Virginia ballot, I wondered how the candidates fared in my home state. Tennessee works a little differently than other states. In fact, it seems that every state has a little tweak, a little nuance that makes it a little different from the others. That’s why the process is a great peek into how a candidate can handle complicated issues that require organization and hard work. Tennessee will have fifty-eight delegates to the Tampa Republican...

“Mitt Romney’s a good moral person, but he’s not a Christian.” –Pastor Robert Jeffress. “When Mormons seem to be so nice & have good family values, what makes them wolves in sheeps clothing?” –A questioner on Yahoo! Answers. “We can have a lot of fun at the Mormons’ expense because there’s stuff in their religion that may seem silly to outsiders . . . But these are really nice people who believe what they do wholeheartedly.” –“South Park” and “Book... Read more
Why would the greeter ask me for my receipt? Did I look like a thief? Read about an incident that happened over four years ago at my local Wal-Mart, and why the greeter’s response to my rudeness shocked me. Read more
Michael Krull, the National Campaign Director of Newt Gingrich’s campaign responded to news that his candidate failed to collect 10,000 signatures in Virginia with this: Newt and I agreed that the analogy is December 1941: We have experienced an unexpected set-back, but we will re-group and re-focus with increased determination, commitment and positive action. Throughout the next months there will be ups and downs; there will be successes and failures; there will be easy victories and difficult days – but... Read more
During the last Presidential campaign, I was in charge of the entire state of Tennessee’s Romney delegation — overseeing our nine Congressional districts that encompass ninety-five counties. (Read about me going into a bar with my petition here during hte last cycle, when a fight over the war broke out!) Every state has different legal requirements, which makes it an organizational feat to get on the ballot in every state. This year, after having adopted a sweet baby girl from... Read more
