From the Argus Leader: Brown, who had already endorsed Trump, was asked by the Boston Herald about whether he wanted to be Trump’s running mate. Brown volunteered Thune. “I feel very strongly that John would be fantastic,” Brown said. “John’s from a smaller state but I don’t think states matter anymore. What John provides is […]
At least weekly if not more often, Congressional Candidate Paula Hawks sends out via e-mail “clickbait” appeals for money or to gather names to solicit further for activity in her campaign. The problem is that many times, the issues she’s campaigning on have little to nothing to do with the office she’s running for. Today’s e-mail […]
In District 11, Democrat for House Mary Claus lists as part of her CV that she studied at “Bernice Johnson’s Academy of Modeling and Public Relations” as part of her education. In reading on of her latest facebook missives hating on Republicans, I’m thinking she was better at the “modeling” part of her education than she was the “public relations.” Because it doesn’t […]
Coming the day after State Senator Bill Van Gerpen announced that he is not going to be a candidate this next election, I had a call this morning from a candidate confirming a rumor I’d heard some time ago – that yes, this former candidate for US Senate from this past election is going to […]

A lot gets decided in New Hampshire. Trump, Cruz, and Rubio punched a ticket to go on in Iowa. It is said two tickets are available in New Hampshire. Tickets will go to those who aimed high and then hit it. Some are going to miss their target. The following are my thoughts on Saturday […]
The GOP race is deadlocked nationally between Trump, Rubio & Cruz but things may change significantly after New Hampshire and when the field narrows. And, because we sometimes look only at the “present” as reality, we lose track of the “future” realities. Because there are high expectations the field will narrow to three candidates after […]
Introduction/Explanation: Anytime you see a (–%) in parenthesis, it is the most recent realclearpolitics.com average. The first section is Iowa averages. The second section is New Hampshire averages. I’ve been watching the movement and polls and tried to discern what is going on in the GOP Presidential Primary. Nationally, since there has been so little […]
Several months ago, I said the state of the horse race in the polls doesn’t tell us anything definitive about the end result. Candidates still need to go out and make something happen. So what has happened? Not much. Trump has vacillated up and down 5% from 30% and is roughly at his peak. Cruz has […]
