Five Ways Conservatives Will Have to Sell Their Souls if Romney Wins
January 18, 2012 By
Here we are in what may be, forgive me for the cliché, the most important election of our lifetimes and the GOP may end up choosing a candidate who’s one part Charlie Crist and one part John Kerry as our nominee. If that’s the case, conservatives should certainly vote for him over Obama. After all, [...]
N.H. Primary exit polls indicate tough battle ahead
January 11, 2012 By
Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday night with a broad-based coalition of both conservative and moderate voters overwhelmingly motivated by their worries about America’s economic future and wanting above all to beat President Barack Obama in November.

The Conservative Race in Iowa
January 3, 2012 By
Where Iowa could matter a lot is in sorting out the four candidates running as the field’s conservatives: Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann.

Romney’s Fundamental Problem
October 8, 2011 By
From Townhall.com: Editor’s Note: This column was authored by Matt Mackowiak, the president of Potomac Strategy Group LLC. Mitt Romney = John McCain. The 2008 political environment differs from 2012. In 2008 it was Bush fatigue. McCain survived the primary; he did not win it. Everyone around him imploded. There was no tea party. Compromise [...]
The Great Conservative Sell-Out
What is not understandable is the contention by so many conservatives that Romney’s record is conservative. It isn’t. He’s always been an advocate of a carefully managed, large government rather than a freedom-ensuring small one; his record in Massachusetts shows him to be an advocate for liberal policies like the individual mandate and activist judges.
