It Is Happening Again

July 13, 2010Burt Likko 5 Comments

In less than twenty-four hours, I have learned that SarahPAC has raised over $866,000 and spent over $742,000 flying its celebrity politician about the country.  The ability to raise numbers approaching a million dollars a quarter, and less commented on… Continue Reading →

Don’t Rush To Judgment On Huckabee’s Pardon

December 1, 2009Burt Likko 2 Comments

I’m not entirely sure Mike Huckabee can be blamed for the apparently-continued criminal activities of Maurice Clemons, who allegedly shot four police officers in Washington State to death over the weekend. To be sure, then-Governor Huckabee granted clemency to Clemons,… Continue Reading →

A Party Of Antiscience

October 13, 2009Burt Likko

Rick Moran has been running a great series of posts at Right Wing Nut House about the decline of intellectualism in modern conservatism.  And I can think of no more telling symptom of that problem than this tidbit pointed out… Continue Reading →

He Should Be Allowed To Get A Word In Edgewise

December 10, 2008Burt Likko 1 Comment

I’m a supporter of extending marriage rights to all people, including those who would marry someone of the same gender. I’m also a fan of Jon Stewart, whose Daily Show still makes me laugh out loud after more than ten… Continue Reading →

Guess Who’s Going To Iowa?

November 8, 2008Burt Likko 2 Comments

The corpse of the McCain campaign isn’t even cold yet. And all of these Republican politicians already have speaking engagements in Iowa in the very near future, or are in the process of lining them up: Bobby Jindal, the Governor… Continue Reading →

What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been

June 3, 2008Burt Likko

Six months ago, looking out at the world of politics, I knew a few things for sure: 1. The Republicans had a mess on their hands. No viable leader for the social conservative movement was stepping up to the plate… Continue Reading →

GOP Veepstakes

May 22, 2008Burt Likko 3 Comments

It’s time to take a serious look at running mates. The Democrats have effectively sorted out their nomination fight and John McCain knows he’ll be up against Barack Obama, not Hillary Clinton. As I’ve written before, there are several strategic… Continue Reading →

Huckabee On Obama

March 19, 2008Burt Likko 1 Comment

Mike Huckabee was interviewed this morning on Joe Scarborough’s morning show on MSNBC. Scarborough, and his co-anchor, whoever she is, fail to impress and Scarborough simply can’t help but be a nasty partisan. Huckabee, however, has some really interesting things… Continue Reading →

Romney Ends GOP Primary

February 14, 2008Burt Likko

Mitt Romney’s endorsement and delegate pledge to John McCain effectively ends the GOP primary. Technically, McCain doesn’t have enough pledged delegates yet to clinch the nomination, but the states coming up next — Wisconsin and caucuses in three territorial caucuses… Continue Reading →

That’s It For Mitt

February 7, 2008Burt Likko 1 Comment

This one I kind of did see coming. Mitt Romney just announced that he’s “suspending” his campaign. This is probably preliminary to his appearance at CPAC this weekend, where he will likely end his campaign and grudgingly endorse John McCain.… Continue Reading →
