Greg Corombos of Radio America and Charles Cooke of National Review give Mitt Romney pretty high marks on the content and delivery of his acceptance speech. They also applaud Florida Sen.

Posted in August 30th, 2012
House Republicans will likely pick up an extra member in Arkansas’ 4th Congressional District.

Greg Corombos of Radio America and Charles Cooke of National Review cheer Paul Ryan’s convention speech for its great clarity on small businesses, jobs, health care and more.

GOP Predicts 5-7 Seat House Gain
Posted in August 29th, 2012
The presidential race is getting the vast majority of the attention in the 2012 campaign but the battle for the majority in Congress is also critical.

Posted in August 28th, 2012
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Betsy Woodruff of National Review are glad the GOP turned out a largely conservative platform.

And they’re pleasantly stunned to see Democrats bringing in disgraced […]
Obama No Friend of Israel
Posted in August 28th, 2012
Israel has weeks and maybe months to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and it cannot count on U.S. support in trying to stop it. That’s the assessment from Deputy Knesset Speaker Danny Danon, who is also author of “Israel: The Will to Prevail”. Danon says intelligence shows Iran must be stopped soon or the […]
Republicans Acting Like Democrats?
Posted in August 27th, 2012
Although obscured by the nominations of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and concerns over a Gulf Coast hurricane, the Republican National Convention is bracing for a contentious floor fight on Tuesday.
