Considering Rick Santorum’s sudden departure from the race, it’s time to quit dancing around and bluntly state what the problem is for the man likely to become the Republican nominee for president.

In the year of the flying car

When I was a kid, we dreamt about someday owning a “flying car” like the ones we saw in cartoons.

It is time for Republicans to step up to the plate

Yes, I still believe Newt Gingrich would have been the best candidate to take on Barack Obama. While my polling was never biased, my heart favored a man of such intellect and experience to be the GOP nominee. Perhaps, in Newt’s world, that is still a possibility.

Gingrich's next move

It was unbelievable: As soon as Newt Gingrich failed to win both Alabama and Mississippi in the GOP race for president, most members of the mainstream media and political strategists with whom I talked readily admitted, off the record, that he was the most qualified among the Republican candidates to serve as president. Now these are objective pros that have been around presidential politics for years. I have no doubt they were telling me the truth because these folks only tell you this stuff when it is relatively clear that the candidate is no longer a viable alternative.

After the not so "Super" Tuesday results, pundits and experts predicted a much longer march to the Republican National Convention to be held in Tampa, Fla. Many experts believe Mitt Romney will ultimately gain the required delegates to win the nomination prior to the convention. But talk of a so-called "open" convention, where no candidate has the needed votes and delegates might be free to choose the candidate of their own personal preference is increasing, as well.

Moe, Larry and Curly fight for Republican nomination

OK, folks, don't get mad. This little piece is purely to attempt a bit of comic relief from the strife that has been the race for the GOP nomination for president. The media have tried every way in the world to suggest that the fight for the Republican nomination has "crippled" the Republican chances of defeating Barack Obama. Having been around through many a presidential contest, I know that is not the case. But before this road show ends, let's have a little lighthearted fun with it.

Media spin on Obama's corporate tax break joke

We knew this was coming. In fact, in the first year of the Obama Administration, I focused on this very issue. Now it has risen to the level of potential reality. The Obama Administration is ready to launch its assault on corporate America in a manner that will extend its current attack on individuals and small businesses to the entire economy.

What Gingrich, Romney need to do as Florida vote nears

Never before have debates in the primary/caucus season ever meant so much to the final outcome of the vote than this year. It seems that the public is infatuated with these endless verbal battles. And each contest seems to result in some degree of a shift in public opinion.

GOP candidates failing the faithful

After years as an officeholder, strategist, pollster, you name it, I have truly come to despise politicians. This year's GOP nomination process has sealed the deal.

Yes, Mitt Romney has a huge advantage in the race for the Republican nomination for president. Yes, Newt Gingrich and perhaps Rick Santorum made bad decisions by participating in the New Hampshire primary, given that Romney could outspend them in a state where most participants are hardly "conservative Republicans."
