Outside the Beltway

Mitt Romney’s Presidential rhetoric probably won’t appeal to the GOP base.

A new poll shows the current level of GOP support in the Hispanic community.

Disturbingly large percentages of Republicans still don’t think the President was born here.

That word does not mean what you think it means (at least if you work in the mass media).

The differences between the parties when it comes to Iran are far less substantial than the candidate’s rhetoric would suggest.

A new poll shows just how badly the GOP is doing among Hispanic voters.

Mitt Romney is likely to put considerable distance between himself and his opponents tomorrow.

The New Yorker’s cover has Rick Santorum in a doghouse strapped atop Mitt Romney’s car.

The GOP has sold its soul.

Rick Santorum wants to nullify nearly 200,000 marriages.

Our political scene has changed drastically since Bob Kerrey was last in the Senate.

Nominating Rick Santorum may be the best things Republicans could do to save their party, but not for the reasons Santorum thinks.

For it before he was against it (or something like that).

Not surprisingly, the race in the Buckeye State is tightening.

There is no Republican savior out there.

Billionaires have been free to donate as much money as they want to activist groups since the dawn of the Republic.

Romney eked out a win in the Michigan primary. He’s going to have a harder time there in November.

Rick Santorum’s inability to stay away from the culture wars may have been his undoing.

A Northeastern Republican announces retirement. And GOP hopes for control of the Senate in 2013 become more tenuous.

The GOP Establishment is in crisis, but it has nobody to blame but itself.

The future of the Republican race in 2012 is in the balance in the Wolverine State.

A discussion in the comments thread of my “Time Running Out For GOP?” post led me to a post from four-plus years ago by frequent commenter and erstwhile blogger* Michael Reynolds titled “Money, Bombs and Jesus.”

Rick Santorum’s views on the role of religion in public life are built on lies about American history.

2012 may be the last chance for the current Republican Party to win the White House.
