It is, without doubt, the biggest event of the season. And it happens this weekend. No, I’m not talking about the Blue State Ball in Minneapolis. Nor the latest scuffles between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney in South Carolina. The biggest event of the season? This weekend’s battle to death between Tom Brady of the…

Mitt Romney bumper sticker: Greed is good!
By Bill Press Tribune Media Services He barely won the Iowa primary. He handily won New Hampshire. He’s going to win South Carolina next. So now we know the Republican nominee for president will be: Gordon Gekko. And we also know what he stands for. In the 1987 film “Wall Street,” corporate raider Gekko told…
Ron Paul (Not) For President
For some reason, I’ve always been attracted to Ron Paul. That’s why I’ve invited him on our radio show so many times. For the same reason so many liberals like Ron Paul… Because, unlike too many politicians, he’s authentic, he’s consistent, he’s quick to speak his mind, he’s the real thing. He was Tea Party…
Romney is a Big Win for Obama
Who came in second? Who came in third? Who cares? The only thing that matters is: Mitt Romney won New Hampshire – by a lot more than he won Iowa. He’ll win South Carolina in 10 days – then go on to win Florida. By which time, even Tea Partiers will have to accept that…
It’s not the President’s job to make Republicans happy
You should be proud of me, friends. I was ready to explode at yesterday’s White House Press Briefing, but I kept my cool. I didn’t stand up and scream. I didn’t storm out in frustration. But I was ready to. When Norah O’Donnell of CBS News asked Press Secretary Jay Carney: “Most people start off…
Santorum gets his (brief) moment in the sun
By Bill Press Tribune Media Services Mitt “Landslide” Romney may have won the Iowa caucuses by a whopping eight votes, but everybody knows the real winner was former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. After wandering in the wilderness, neglected and forgotten, for the past year, Santorum surprisingly emerged as the only serious challenger to Romney. Whether…
Rick Santorum Has More Baggage Than The Rest Of Them
So now it’s Rick Santorum’s turn at the top of the pile, after being neglected and forgotten for the past 12 months. But, as Newt Gingrich or Herman Cain could tell him, Santorum may soon learn it’s better to be on the bottom and forgotten than on the top and under the microscope. Because, once…
Actual Iowa Caucus Winner: President Obama
As might be expected, all the talk this morning is about who won the Republican caucuses – and who goes on to New Hampshire. And it’s a big story: Mitt Romney edging out Rick Santorum, but only by 8 votes out of over 120,000 cast. And Ron Paul finishing a strong third. That means the…
The Iowa Caucuses Mean Nothing
Here we go again – the every-four-years super hype over the Iowa caucuses – which is the most over-hyped, most unrepresentative, and least meaningful even in American politics. The truth is: no matter who wins, the Iowa Caucuses mean nothing! Look at who participates: 120,000 people. That’s only 20 percent of Iowa’s registered Republicans. Only…
John Boehner destroys Republican record on taxes
By Bill Press Tribune Media Services OK, enough already. I don’t want to hear any more whining from Democrats about how hard it’s going to be for President Obama to win re-election in 2012. Because the political landscape has just shifted dramatically. Of course, it’s not going to be any walk in the park for…
