Outside the Beltway

To Republicans, even thinking about engaging in diplomacy is enough to accuse the President of appeasement.

The Republican candidates for President have apparently forgotten that this guy was their party’s nominee twice.

Since the adoption of the current rules for delegate allocations only twice has either party nominated someone who did not win either IA or NH.

If you’re running low on cash, keeping it low-key in a state you can’t win sometimes make sense.

When candidates start talking about focusing on post-IA/NH primaries, they are in trouble.

After almost a year of campaigning, it’s finally time for someone to cast a vote.

Ron Paul’s opposition to the Fourteenth Amendment would make a Paul Administration an enemy of civil liberties.

Many people seem to have a rather inappropriate view of their relationship to the President of the United States.

Congress eliminates a bad subsidy, but it’s only because there’s a worse one on the books.

Heading into the last day of campaigning, the race in Iowa is too close to call.

Romney, Paul, Santorum. The last set of Iowa frontrunners seems to be set.

So, what’s next?

Rick Perry’s campaign team is already starting to blame each other for the collapse of a campaign that isn’t over yet.

Executive summary: She’s a kook unfit to serve as dog catcher, much less leader of the free world.

Yet another clue about what’s going on in the Hawkeye State.

Ron Paul has a new explanation for those newsletters of his.

The constant drumbeat of not-really-news stories out of insignificant little Iowa will soon be behind us.

A new Iowa polls shows Rick Santorum gaining support. Or does it?

So far, Iowa voters don’t seem to be bothered by the Ron Paul newsletters.

Right now, Iowa is all about Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and a bunch of also-rans.

Ron Paul is doing well right now solely because of the unique characteristics of Iowa and New Hampshire.

The rules that Republicans will be playing under in 2012 are far less revolutionary than some pundits would have you believe.

Has Iowa “blown its special claim as the first state” in the nomination process? No, it never had any special claim in the first place.

Could traders soon be betting on the outcome of the Presidential elections? Should they be?

One of these people will be the 2012 Republican nominee for President no matter how much you’d like to dream otherwise.

Virginia has helped winnow the Republican field. You’re welcome America.

Several candidates did not submit a completed application on time to qualify for Virginia’s Republican primary ballot.

Ron Paul doesn’t want to talk about his newsletters now, but he was pretty talkative 15 years ago.

The Republican candidates for President are blurring what should be a pretty clear line.

A comment on the commentariat.

Gary Johnson is jumping ship.

Iowa Republicans fear that a Ron Paul win on Jan. 3rd will destroy the credibility of their caucuses.

Newt Gingrich has fallen into a statistical tie with Mitt Romney in the latest Gallup poll, mirroring his decline in other recent surveys.
