Doubling Down on Obama: A Gambler’s Guide to the Election
I think its fair to say that as more and more becomes known about Obama, the more and more I become convinced that I’ll be able to say I told you so the day after the general election in November.
Obama is a political unknown. He talks a good talk, but can’t walk a good […]

This article is part two of a three part series on the Libertarian nominating contest.
Pulling out his veto pen on March 8, 2008, President George W. Bush was able to successfully thwart congressional efforts to ban the use of certain harsh interrogation tactics by Central Intelligence Agency officers. This veto marked only the ninth […]
Walking the Road that Buckley Built
Conservative writer and PGN contributor Michael Johns argues that modern conservatism owes much of its success to William F. Buckley, Jr., who built conservatism as an alternative to the Great Society’s vast expansion of federal governmental control and built conservatism as the most consequential political and intellectual movement of modern times.
Do McCain supporters know where he stands on Immigration?
For many, apparently not.
According to the poll below, it looks like a lot of voters on both sides are unclear as to where the candidates they are supporting really stand on immigration.
This is very interesting to me, because I truly believe that immigration is going to be a major issue in this campaign cycle, for […]

Ferraro Censoring Forgotten in Rev. Wright Hullabaloo
The recent commentary on the racial politics of the 2008 campaign by former Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro, the 1984 Democrat nominee for Vice President of the United States, is just the latest example of a party paying for the sins of several decades of foolhardy pandering to identity politics. Unfortunately for Ms. Ferraro, the long-running spat […]
Obama must face the real experience gap as Clinton makes case for nomination
Despite her not-so-surprising victories in Rhode Island, Ohio, and Texas, Senator Hillary Clinton is still facing a tremendous uphill climb to win the Democrat nomination. Upcoming primaries in Mississippi and Wyoming will further add to Senator Obama’s delegate lead, making Clinton’s quest for the nomination even more difficult.
ABC News reported on Wednesday, March 5 that […]
88 Years After Defeat, Wilson’s Specter Still Haunts National Campaign
Thanks to the seemingly inevitable nomination of Senator John McCain, Republicans across the nation need to sit back, take a deep breath, and think long and hard about the direction and future of their party and principles, just as the Democrat Party was forced to do after a fateful election 88 years ago.
While the definition […]
Why McCain Must Never Become President
Despite predictions to the contrary (including one by this author), John McCain is now almost certain to be the Republican nominee for president. Through a combination of a compressed, winner-take-all, primary system and sympathetic news media, the senator from Arizona has defied the odds. It wasn’t pretty to watch. McCain never got […]
Why McCain would Win Over Obama - An Election Framework
I wrote this very hastily since my time has been severely limited with my studies and work. While it lacks eloquence (or even gramatical correctness), I believe that the points I attempt to make are valid and deserve consideration on the Obama momentum

Now that John McCain has clearly claimed the front runner title […]

I have experienced firsthand many wonderful, victorious election nights over my political career that […]
A Better Way to Choose a President
The news coverage of the results of the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary has been hysterical bordering on apoplectic. Watching the Iowa results on Thursday night one would have thought that the event was the national convention rather than the first contest in a small state with only a handful of uncommitted […]
The Press’s Love Affair with Obama
Like it or not, the Press and media have biases towards certain candidates. We can see it in the headlines and in the tone of their coverage and commentary. But should they have biases? In 1958, Edward R. Murrow recognized that news had become a commodity and only acceptable when saleable. […]
The Huckster
Deception and Misrepresentation on the Campaign Trail
Compare the positions from these two 2008 Presidential candidates:
One candidate, a former governor advocated issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens in his state. He denounced a bill that would deny state benefits to illegal immigrants as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life. He supported a “path to citizenship” for illegal […]
