Indiana & North Carolina, Conservatively Speaking
Barack Obama took North Carolina, as he knew he would. Hillary Clinton took Indiana, even though Obama had predicted a 7-point win (he lost by less than two). Obama's late night surge wasn't enough to put him over the edge. See why Indiana should have been considered a crushing loss for Obama.

And the Winner is ... John McCain?!
While Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were duking it out for the Democratic nomination in the Keystone State Tuesday night, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain was taking a page out of Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell's 2004 playbook and visiting places outside his comfort zone.

Hillary Talks Iraq, Hits McCain & Barack
"It's going to be a long spring," was the thought when Hillary Clinton, of all people, attacked her two opponents about their Iraq policies in early 2008. "A long spring, indeed."

Do Conservatives Really Want President Hillary? Think Carefully
With conservatives just one seat away from having a majority on the Supreme Court and the next president having the power to name up to three justices, do they really want these decisions to be made by Hillary Clinton?

New York Times & John McCain
This is the best they can come up with? McCain may have considered having an improper relationship with lobbyist Vicki Iseman. The paper implies the two either shared a romantic relationship or McCain did the young lady political favors, or both, but the paper doesn't exactly say which.

Expect McCain v. Obama This Fall

Huckabee's Rising Momentum
What would a Potomac primary win mean for Huckabee on Feb. 12? Although way down on the delegate count, could wins in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC give Huckabee the juice he needs to keep going?

Goodbye, Mr. Romney
Mitt Romney's decision to drop out of the 2008 presidential campaign brings the Republican party one step closer to nominating a candidate and developing a game-plan for the general election in November.

The Relevance of Ron Paul
Ron Paul's tenacity and dedication have kept him in the 2008 presidential election, despite poor showings and the lack of a win in any state. Paul plans to march into the Republican National Convention with his head held high and as many delegates as he can muster.

Why Conservatives Should Support John McCain
Despite the concern about John McCain's conservative credentials, he IS a conservative and is the only candidate with even the slightest chance of uniting the Republican party and ending the bipartisanship in Washington, DC.

The Final Slope In Rudy's Wild Ride
In a dizzying fall from the top of the heap in 2007 to Tuesday's disappointing third-place showing, Giuliani's crippled campaign now has zero momentum heading into Super Tuesday on Feb. 5. The once-proud mayor was expected to bow out of the campaign today, but not without causing a stir.

Where Is Huckabee?
Mike Huckabee has to be wondering if fickle momentum has named him its foe. Since his surprising, out-of-the-gate win in Iowa on Jan. 3, Huckabee has run out of money, was slammed and shunned by the New York Times on Friday and is placing somewhere at the back of the pack near Texas Congressman Ron Paul and former UN Ambassador Alan Keyes in the Florida polling.

...And Then There Were Six
Perhaps the most significant aspect of Saturday night's primary extravaganza wasn't the win for Mitt Romney in Nevada or the win for John McCain in South Carolina. It was the decision of California Congressman Duncan Hunter to drop out of the presidential race, whittling the field down to six.

...And Mitt Romney Makes Three
The former Massachussetts governor finally got the gold for which he had been battling so desperately. More importantly, perhaps, Romney moved on to the South Carolina caucuses with a spring in his step, a monkey off his back and "Big Mo" on his side for the first time in months. Momentum had not been Romney's friend in the days before Michigan's primary.

Is Giuliani Fixated On Florida?
Apparently former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani believes Florida is the only state that counts. Someone not from Florida should check Giuliani's campaign to see just how many Floridians are giving him advice.

Prediction 2008: Republicans Win for Old Familiar Reasons
Oil prices are high, neighbors are divided on the homefront about the war in Iraq and the US ecomony is on the verge of a recession. If ever there were a year for monumental change in America, this would be it. The trouble for Democrats is they may be asking the country to make too radical of a change.

Sweating Bullets In the Granite State
Iowa's over now, and all the hoary ghosts of Mitt Romney's campaign have gone with it. Signs of hope are few in the once-proud, but shattered candidacy of the former Massachussetts governor.

Panic Time In the Hawkeye State
With the Iowa Caucuses just days away, the places the GOP candidates are campaigning is just as telling as what they're saying on the campaign trail.

Winning Without Principles Isn't Really Winning
As the 2008 Presidential election draws ever nigh, conservatives should be sure they're selecting the candidate who truly represents their values. It could be a tough four years if they don't.
