Talk about seceding is counterproductive and doomed to go nowhere. Those unhappy enough to consider seceding from Colorado to form their own state would do well to study The Blueprint: How the Democrats won Colorado (and why Republicans everywhere should care) by Rob Witwer and Adam Schrager to learn some valuable lessons on how to…

Pretty insipid slogans! If they plan to kick off presidential campaigns with those, they will be home before lunch! Maybe they should have a contest for the best slogan - here are a few to prime the pump... The road to the White House leads through the states. * You take the low road and I'll…

Congress may not be formally consulted before the President decides to use air strikes; he seems to be generally contemptuous of decisions with which he does not agree and finds ways to circumvent them. The War Powers Act has been ignored and resisted by other presidents who believe it to usurp their constitutional powers to…

We Americans seem to be endlessly fascinated by the lives of the British royal family. It's a bit of fairy tale magic that takes us away to a world of handsome princes and beautiful princesses who produce a perfect baby to ensure the shimmering mirage continues into the next generation. Perhaps these royals are a…

This will be an interesting race to watch. No matter the outcome, the seat will stay in the Republican column, which is good news for the GOP strategy to win the Senate majority in 2014. May the best man...er...woman win!

Why anyone would care what Harry Reid, political partisan extraordinaire, thinks is evidence that this case has been highly politicized and has become the latest cause célèbre to keep the racial divide alive and well in America. So far, the judicial system has been relatively, though not entirely, immune to political pressure. For the sake of…

Governor Perry's decision opens the door for another presidential run in 2016. If this is his goal, it seems to be another run that ends in failure. Even at this early stage, those mentioned as possible candidates like NJ Governor Chris Christie, Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul represent a much stronger field that the…

I would expect former President George W. Bush to be supportive of his brother's ambition to run for president in 2016, or perhaps this statement was a just very public nudge in that direction. The statement may have been a trial balloon to gauge early support or opposition it's just far too early to read…

The negative publicity generated by the NRCC's decision is probably the worst part but I think Mark Sanford is in good position to win this race. South Carolina's 1st Congressional District is heavily Republican and despite Sanford's well-examined baggage, he will be well-funded and committed to campaigning non-stop to pull off a victory. Additionally, Republicans…

I can't imagine any act involving bombs exploding among a large group of civilians would be anything but an act of terrorism. Whether the terrorists responsible turn out to be of the home grown variety or the radical Islamic variety or something else entirely remains to be seen. Early reports often turn out to be…
