Can Mia Love turn the tide for black voters, GOP?

In an almost ironic twist, a race in Utah’s 4th congressional district has emerged pitting a long-term Democrat incumbent against a mother and Republican mayor of Saratoga Springs. This mother also happens to be black and Mormon. Utah is an anomaly like no other state....well almost any other state. Read More

Faith Loudon for Congress

Today’s Woman in the Lens is a “hats-off” to a Republican woman who recently won the primary for Maryland’s 4th District, Faith Loudon. She is a shining example of “Building leaders of tomorrow by empowering women today.” Mrs. Loudon now sets that example for others that she learned from her mentor, and a former occupant…

Another high profile female business leader departs…

As I look back over the past 25 years, I have seen a cycle emerge here in South Carolina. Women leaders rise to prominence here before making an exodus to positions elsewhere. Some may say “that’s just business.” But in actuality, it’s much more. Today the light is dimmer with Duke Energy South Carolina President…

Does Walker’s victory pave the way for the GOP in 2012?

Until last night, President Obama's 2008 Wisconsin win (by 13 points) led most strategists to skip over this heartland as a potential state in play.

Is it worth the money for Romney to associate himself with a birther? Will this help or hurt Romney’s campaign?

President Obama's campaign recently reached a billion dollars in donations through fundraisers like that of the People's…

Though sources differ on the scrivener of “You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong” it is generally accepted that Reverend William Boetcker’s collection of ten maxims underscore the failures associated with an overzealous government. Whether they are the ideas of the Minnesota governor or President Obama, the reality is that the success or…

Does Santorum have a shot at being the GOP standard-bearer?

In one of my final official duties as chair of the South Carolina Republican Party, I had the honor of hosting the FOX News-sponsored First in the South, Republican Presidential Primary Debate last month in Greenville, SC. As I watched the debate, I was struck by how Rick Santorum’s words connected with the audience. At…

Don’t Underestimate Conservative Women!

The professional political class learned a valuable lesson last night: Don’t underestimate conservative women! Seemingly out of nowhere, state Senator Deb Fischer engineered a come-from-behind victory to beat two far better-known and better-funded candidates for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. While the pundits speculate on how Deb ultimately won the race, we do…
