Gov. Gary Johnson is considering running for the Libertarian nomination for President in 2012. I actually think he has the potential to be the strongest Libertarian candidate in the history of the party.

” The number one issue”. This is a phrase that always gains prominence during an election cycle. Its over use by everyone from media types, to politicians, to even average citizens begins to make one wonder whether anyone truly believes that, that which is labeled the number one issue, is actually that important. Or is everyone [...]

Playing politics with jobs is the latest charge and the White House is guilty by their own bragging to reporters. Yet it is they who are accusing not being accused. Why would the White House brag about their “trap” to a reporter? They obviously want to make Republicans mad so they do not do anything. [...]

The threshold for participating in the next debate has been raised but not too much. It is just enough to exclude that annoying Libertarian Gary Johnson and include that wonderful moderate salvation of the GOP Huntsman. They poll around the same, Johnson may actually have higher average polling, but in one poll Huntsman polled 4% [...]

With the implementation of a Conservative Revolution within Sussex County’s Republican Party in Delaware, can Delaware’s Republicans expect further changes in the GOP.

Why is does the media treat Ron Paul differently than other candidates? The media often disparages his supporters. Dismisses his straw poll showings at groups of Republican activists, and ignores polls that show him competitive in a general election with President Obama. I believe he is the candidate liberals most fear. He is also the [...]
