Last night's GOP debate--the winners, the losers
As the Republican field of candidates continues to be weeded out, each debate becomes more important. Those left standing--Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, and Rick Perry--must demonstrate why they are better than the others standing with them on the platform.
This is make or break time. And the losers could find themselves plummeting in the polls, meaning that campaign donations dry up, forcing them off the campaign trail.

Ron Paul's TV ad in SC--$1 trillion in cuts the first year
Critics of Texas Congressman and Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul have several legitimate complaints concerning his views on Iran and the bomb, Israel as an ally, and radical Islam as a threat to our very existence. But one thing upon which virtually all can agree is that when it comes to fiscal policy, economics, and the financial stability of America, Ron Paul is unsurpassed. His latest TV ad in South Carolina is a prime example.
The ad, which began running on all of the major TV stations in the state last week, describes Paul's proposal to address the debt crisis by cutting $1 trillion dollars in federal spending the first year he is in office, if elected.

In a stunning Friday afternoon ruling that allows the ATF--the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives--to continue with the scandal and its consequences surrounding the 'Project Gunwalker' scheme, a federal judge has decided to allow the bureau to proceed with its new 'long-gun' regulations, mandating firearms sales registration for anyone buying over 2 long guns in a 24 hour period in the states along the Mexican border.
Mike Vanderboegh, the reporter who first broke the Gunwalker scandal, also known as 'Operation Fast and Furious, stated in response to the ruling, "The black-robed scoundrels strike again."

Politics and the Tebow intermission
In what is sure to provide a refreshing intermission from the non-stop political coverage that is standard for an election year such as this, famed quarterback Tim Tebow and his Denver Broncos will square off against the New England Patriots tonight in prime time in what TV execs say could the highest rated playoff game ever.
Interest in the game is at a fever pitch on the strength of Tebow's nationwide popularity as a Christian who is unashamed and unafraid to take a public stand for his faith. It certainly doesn't hurt that the Denver quarterback is exceptional in his game, just as he was when he rose to fame during his college days as the star quarterback for the Florida Gators.
The highly respected veteran Oklahoma journalist, Mike McCarville, provides an insightful article today on the Tiebow factor and its inherent intermission from the news of politics.

Ron Paul Surges in South Carolina
One week from tomorrow voters will go to the polls in South Carolina to express their preference as to who will face Barack Obama in the 2012 Presidential campaign. In-state polling organizations have indicated that the race is so volatile that it is virtually impossible to track voter preference. But one organization released a poll today that indicates dramatic movement in the Republican race in South Carolina.
Ron Paul has surged dramatically in recent days. Until now, the Texas Congressman garnered roughly 9% support in the polls. Today's poll, however, shows that Paul has skyrocketed to 20% of voter support in the state.
If the present trend continues Paul could surge into first place between now and next Saturday when voters go to the polls.

Romney insures ObamaCare is no issue
The dirty little secret that political pundits inside the beltway keep under their hats is that if Mitt Romney becomes the Republican nominee, it will insure that ObamaCare is not an issue in the general election campaign against Barack Obama. Already the issue has been placed on the back burner by the RNC and the major candidates running for the GOP nomination, and the subject is barely mentioned anymore in the mainstream media or on Fox News.
Why?
The answer is RomneyCare.
If Romney has an Achilles' Heel, and he has several, it would be his Massachusetts based version of government controlled healthcare, a program he implemented and still supports today.

Reality-check: why Romney is the likely nominee
Although the volatility of the polls during the Republican primary season indicates that anything could happen, the reality is that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will be the likely nominee to face Barack Obama in November. The reason is much more than the mere fact that he won big in New Hampshire yesterday. It's the money. The big money.
But first it is important to understand Romney from a purely traditional conservative point of view. He is no real conservative in the traditional sense but a Republican from the old eastern liberal establishment cabal in the tradition of Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford, and Henry Kissinger. This is in stark contrast to Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and modern conservatives such as Jim DeMint.
Since 1976 establishment Republicans have not fared well in Presidential campaigns. Ford lost to Carter in 1976. Reagan beat the establishment elites who opposed him in 1980 and went on to beat Carter in a landslide that year. Four years later he beat Mondale in an even larger landslide.
