The GOP Field: The Weak Ahead

 
The GOP field: The week ahead
[Or as BB would say the WEAK ahead...]



Rick Santorum has campaigned harder than anyone in Iowa this year. So it’s not surprising that he’s the first Republican back on the Iowa trail after Christmas — with a pheasant hunt and press conference in Adel Monday.

After that event, though, most of the GOP 2012 field begins the final sprint toward the Jan. 3 caucuses, with no more debates to shift the narrative and all the ad time already bought up.

Mitt Romney will continue shoring up his New Hampshire firewall with two stops Tuesday — he’ll spend the morning in Londonderry and the afternoon in Portsmouth. Then he heads to Davenport that evening, hoping to pick off some Iowa support with a three-day bus tour that kicks off in eastern Iowa Wednesday morning.

Newt Gingrich visits his wife’s family in Wisconsin on Monday after spending Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at a Catholic basilica inside the Beltway. Then he is expected to begin a 44-city Iowa bus tour Tuesday in Dubuque. The campaign has not publicly released details about the stops, but they’ve made clear he’ll visit each of the Hawkeye state’s media markets.

Can Ron Paul win the Iowa caucuses?


VIDEO: Paul in 1995: Say, have you read The Ron Paul Survival Report?

quote:

If you’re more interested in Paul’s policy than his record, the Washington Post’s Charles Lane delivers perhaps the ultimate insult for a Republican contender to square off against Barack Obama. Lane told Fox News Sunday that Paul actually comes closest to the foreign policy views of Obama’s longtime religious leader, Jeremiah Wright:...

Herman Cain on why he should be secretary of defense

Herman Cain is a good man, but he wasn't a serious candidate for President of the United States.

If the GOP nominee for President of the United States is not prepared to handle Barack Obama in a one-on-one debate, he or she will be mincemeat and Obama will be re-elected.

Jindal Talk Continues

quote:

I discuss it more fully at CFIF, but it's worth noting that Rich Lowry reports that the "draft Jindal" talk has serious backers among conservative officeholders. In my CFIF post, I explain why this is bad news for Rick Perry (nobody would be talking about drafting his most prominent endorser if they think Perry himself is still viable) and also, in a roundabout way, perhaps good news for the likes of Rick Santorum, who, according both to Jim Antle and to Mike Huckabee and to Dick Morris seems poised for good things in Iowa's voting.

quote:

Radical Islamist Anjem Choudary, the jihadist who once called for the execution of the pope and whose militant group even asked if “the assassination of President Obama is legal” — has released a Christmas message in which he asserts that Jesus, if alive today, would be a practicing Muslim. Not only that but, according to Choudary, Jesus (who he refers to as “Isa”) would also be leading the crusade to free “Muslim land” and implement sharia law across the world.

North Korea Projects Image of Stability as Questions Remain About Roles of New Leader, Military

quote:

Assessing the stability of North Korea in the wake of Kim Jong Il's death has been a matter of reading between the lines, but there are signs that the communist country's government is at least trying to project the appearance of a smooth transition.

Kim's son, the baby-faced twenty-something Kim Jong Un, is the presumed successor, raising questions about whether the country's military leadership will rally behind him, as it did behind his dictator father. In recent days, state media has disseminated images showing the younger Kim in the company of generals who supported Kim Jong Il.
