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 →

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 →

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 →

Romney Addresses Atheists

May 10, 2008Burt Likko

Now that Governor Mitt the Mormon isn’t running for President anymore, and doesn’t need to suck up to evangelical Christians, he can afford to be nice to atheists. Like apologizing for his remarks made during the campaign, which disaffected unbelieving… 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 →

Breaking It Down

February 6, 2008Burt Likko

I’ve updated the delegate scorecard as of 10:50 p.m. California time. I’ve also broken out the delegates awarded to each candidate by pledged and unpledged delegates — if a candidate has 100 pledged delegates, and 25 other delegates who cannot… Continue Reading →

Early Returns (Updated)

January 30, 2008Burt Likko

The Florida polls just closed about fifteen minutes ago, and some early voting and absentee ballots have been reported. McCain has about 34% of the vote and Romney has about 33%, and if the early numbers are any indication, a… Continue Reading →
