By email@hidden (Mike) Sure, there are some republicans who only care about abortion, and would vote for Huckabee over Hillary or Barak. But they are not a majority. For republicans to win we have to keep our coalition together. Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton are no less likely to keep spending down in Washington,...

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (Kathryn Jean Lopez) What I wrote on Tuesday -- which I think stands -- about Romney was:  If he runs again, it’s going to be on his own terms. It’s the Let Romney Be Romney cycle. Which meant skirting the who’s-more-conservative? tug-of-war this time around.

By Jim Newell It took us so long to check it out, but we finally did, and guess what? Mitt Romney’s “Free and Strong America PAC” website has any number of funnies!

Read clips, of course, about Mitt Romney's stiff-backed challenge to President Obama on Iran. The former Massachusetts governor and 2004 presidential candidate wants "withering" sanctions to be levied on Iran. But his speech, delivered today to an AIPAC forum in San Diego, is worth re...

By tnr1.com Now, I'm beginning to rethink my view of Romney. This June, he gave a national security address that essentially accepted all the premises of George W.

By Nicole Belle He passed over Mitt Romney, who ran a big state, Massachusetts; a big company, Bain Capital; and a big event, the Olympics. He passed over Joe Lieberman, his best friend in the Senate and fellow Iraq Kool-Aid drinker. And he also passed over Mike Huckabee, the governor of Arkansas.

By Paul Zannucci Romney brings a lot to the table in terms of eloquence and economics, but it is unlikely that adding Romney to the ticket would help McCain even in Massachusettes.  Romney could be expected to be unflappable during debates (if the Democrats agree to any), but his debate demeanor sometimes...

By Daniel Koffler Second, the Democratic primaries have gift-wrapped you a blueprint for victory that can't fail in the states that matter like West Virginia. I mean, take a look at Barack Obama.
