By Robert Romano — As a part of the fallout of Obama’s successful reelection in 2012, many in the Republican establishment and conservative circles have been engaged in a thorough soul-searching over Mitt Romney’s defeat and the GOP’s failure to recapture the Senate, some of which is legitimate and thoughtful, and some of which is not. Some linear-minded approaches focus [...]
As frequent visitors of this site know, we have been focused like a hawk on Michigan’s Proposal 4- the SEIU’s heavy-handed attempt to unionize all home caregivers in the state of Michigan, often parents of adult children with disabilities. In one overwhelmingly positive election result, the SEIU’s Proposal 4 has been defeated, and by a wide margin- winning almost every [...]
By Rick Manning — Analyzing elections when feelings are still raw is usually a bad idea. Of course that doesn’t stop those with an agenda from opining and pushing specific pet ideas. That is what we have been witnessing in the wake of Tuesday’s massive disappointment. The media and some talking heads have been all over the idea that changing [...]
By Rick Manning – My prediction of a Romney win was not only wrong, but as everyone knows, it wasn’t even close. In fact, the exact opposite occurred than what I expected. Rather than being a drag on the ticket, Obama was able to sweep into a second term as the Romney campaign’s strategy of doing nothing to upset the [...]
Jim Geraghty makes a great point yesterday: here’s a look at Obama’s vote margin in some key states as of this afternoon (these figures will change a bit as those straggling precincts report in): Virginia: 107,339 Ohio: 100,763 Florida: 47,493 Colorado: 111,094 Nevada: 66,379 Total: 433,068 So for less than 500,000 votes where it counted, Mitt Romney could have had [...]
By Kevin Mooney — Instead of deferring to a U.S. attorney general who is not serious about enforcing the law against voter fraud, Ohio’s Republican secretary of state should have prioritized ballot integrity, Anita MonCrief, a former ACORN employee turned conservative activist, told NetRightDaily. But it is now clear that dead and ineligible voters will remain on the voter rolls [...]
By Kevin Mooney – Colorado and Ohio could both determine the outcome of the presidential election, and other key races. But neither state is complying with a federal law that requires state officials to maintain and update their voter registration rolls. Under Section 7 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), commonly known as “motor voter,” state social service agencies [...]
By Mack Isadore — The conventional wisdom among the Washington punditry is that Ohio will decide the election. In recent days, however, the Romney campaign has expanded its efforts to include Pennsylvania, a state that last supported a Republican president in 1988. While Republicans have often forayed into the Keystone state with false hopes of victory (Bush in 2004, McCain [...]
NRD Editor’s Note: This column originally appeared at TheHill.com. By Rick Manning — The left and the right agree on something this morning. Their guy is going to win the presidency. The left is buoyed by publicly released media polls that show Obama clinging to a lead in swing states, even though the national polls are a toss-up. They have [...]
By David Bozeman — Whatever the outcome at the polls today, women, who comprise over 50 percent of the electorate, will have decided the winner. Or so the “experts” like to tell us. Moving forward, let us dispel a few common misperceptions about politics and the fairer sex. Primarily, where is it written that women don’t relish a good fight? [...]
