The Magic is Gone: Obama’s Rocky Relationship With Large Donors

According to a recent Washington Post report, Obama is having some trouble getting large donations for his reelection campaign, and is even lagging behind his 2008 pace – not exactly what one expects from an incumbent President. This turn of events is putting Obama’s high expectations of raising $1 billion for reelection in jeopardy.

One of the reasons listed for Obama’s disappointing numbers is that the Democrats believe the “ailing” economy has put a wet blanket on everyone’s fundraising expectations. This is rich coming from the party that wants us to reelect President Obama for allegedly saving the economy and supposedly leading America into recovery. How the economy can be both “ailing” and “recovering” at the same might be something the DNC spin room should start working on

Overlooked: Dem Rep Doesn’t Care About the Constitution

When a Congressman or Congresswoman starts a new term in the House of Representatives they take the following oath of office. It is short, sweet and anything but difficult to understand:

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

It’s pretty clear what the focus of this oath is: to defend and bear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. Easy as pie.

America to Obama: ‘You Kinda Suck, Dude’

It’s not a good morning to be President Obama or an important member of his reelection team.

Obama is s now losing 47 to 46 in a head to head match up with Mitt Romney according to the Washington Post, with upside down approval numbers to boot:

The potential political con­sequences are clear, with the ­rising public disapproval reversing some of the gains the president had made in hypothetical general-election matchups against possible Republican rivals for the White House. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former senator Rick Santorum (Pa.) now both run about evenly with Obama. The findings come just five weeks after Obama appeared to be getting a boost from the improving economy.

The President’s Latest Lie: Support of an All of the Above Energy Strategy

America is still dependent on fossil fuels despite the Obama administration’s attempts to curb consumption by playing favorites with alternative energy companies, including companies that produce solar, wind, geothermal, biofuel and ethanol products. I fill up my car every week with gasoline and, being from Appalachia, a coal-powered plant keeps the lights on at home.

Regardless of what energy-obsessed liberals will tell you, America’s dependence on fossil fuels is fine for now. Nothing happens overnight. We’ll be using oil and coal for a good time to come.

North Dakota: Another Meaningless Caucus

In the battle for delegates on Super Tuesday, North Dakota can only be described as the sort of runt of the litter. Not only does the state have the third fewest delegates of any battleground state today at 28 delegates, the caucuses that will take place will not bind delegates to any candidate. Instead, delegate election will take place at a state convention at the end of the month, much like Washington’s caucus last weekend.

Despite wishy-washiness of the process, however, candidates are still making a play for the delegates in an election where contest counts. Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul have all campaigned in Fargo, North Dakota.

Who Will Tennesseans Volunteer to Vote For Today?

Rick Santorum was the likely favorite to win the Volunteer State’s Super Tuesday primary last month, but it will no longer be the decisive victory he had hoped for. Recent polls in the state show former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney closing the 18 point lead Santorum had just two weeks ago and show Santorum leading Romney by a mere four to five points. One poll even has Romney leading Santorum by one. Considering the commanding lead Santorum had in Tennessee last month, this is alarming news for the Santorum campaign.

CNN debate: Mitt’s Final Stand

As much as the campaigns wanted to downplay the significance of last night’s debate, they knew a lot was on the line. One big screw up and their candidate could go down in a not-so-glorious ball of flames.

The good news is no one went down in a ball of flames. But no one rose from the ashes, either. Mitt Romney performed well, taking the fight to Rick Santorum early and often. Aside from some tense moments, the debate was altogether fairly amiable. Romney landed some punches on Santorum, but didn’t leave out Obama, and had a few good moments talking about his vision for America.

Santorum Campaign Removes Web Page Defending No Child Left Behind

Up until today, Rick Santorum didn’t seem too shy of defending his vote for the Bush-era education reform known as No Child Left Behind. He even had a web page on his campaign site backing up his position.

Then in Wednesday’s debate he did a 180, called it an accident, said sometimes you take one for the team and that politics is a team sport – all after being called out on his support for the law.

Now the page that used to defend his NCLB decision on his website is gone, reading only “the requested page could not be found.” But a Bing cache search shows that as recently as yesterday, the page was still up, and said the following:
