Obama-Karzai Agreement keeps US troops in Afghanistan until 2024

The remarks (Scroll down for the full text, as usual) were well-written, even with literary flourishes about a new dawn coming as the president spoke at 4 a.m. Afghan time. He wanted to avoid any sense of "Mission Accomplished." And at 11 minutes, blessedly brief for the Real G …

Obama Suffers From Early Onset Romney Derangement Syndrome

Worse, making a nakedly partisan attack surrounding the best military moment in a long time looks grubby and un-presidential. It makes the other things Obama is doing to capitalize on the killing – nuzzling Brian Williams in the Situation Room, etc. – go from eyebro …

Chris Christie more popular than ever

The Week Obama Jumped the Shark

Phony War On Women Backfires On Obama

It's a bad day for optics in the White House, and a bad day for the administration's strategy of deflecting from these awful truths with an elaborately-staged press conference on contraception designed to divert attention away from a two-pronged failure: the attack on the free  …

Obama's Imaginary Compromise

Can we all get one fact straight? As the president was announcing an “accommodation” in a press conference with Kathleen Sebelius on February 10 concerning the HHS contraceptive mandate, a rule was filed in the Federal Register that was unchanged (the word “un …

The Shameless Obama Campaign

There is no Democratic constituent group whom Obama hasn’t tried to buy off. The stimulus and auto policies were giveaways to labor. The alternative fuels loan program and his sacking of the Keystone XL pipeline were bait for the greens.

Gingrich Off to a Bumpy Start in Nevada

Mr. Gingrich has a light schedule of about one public event a day, far different from the barnstorming in previous states, which some aides thought wore him down.

For Romney Race Unfolding Almost Precisely as Predicted

The months and months Romney devoted last year to raising money, the time he took going from fundraiser to fundraiser, the hours he spent on airplanes flying from one coast to another and back again in the space of a week were all designed to put him in position to run the kind …

The Conservative Case for Romney

Moreover, Romney is not a man of vision. He is a man of duty and purpose. He was told to “fix” health care in ways Massachusetts would like. He was told to fix the 2002 Olympics. He was told to create Bain Capital. He did it all. The man does his assignments.

My Letter to Red State's Erick Erickson: Stop Bashing Romney

Erick Erickson – I used to respect you. I used to respect Newt Gingrich (who is completely outside the state of South Carolina oh and perhaps say Mississippi and Alabama unfreaking electable).

Newt Gingrich is No Reagan

In the increasingly rough Republican campaign, no candidate has wrapped himself in the mantle of Ronald Reagan more often than Newt Gingrich.

Rubio Rebuffs Gingrich

Gingrich’s misstep — in essence, forcing Rubio to comment on the race, in which he pledged neutrality — is not unlike Gingrich’s suck-uppery regarding former U.N. ambassador John Bolton.

William Jefferson Gingrich

Now he has found his key for hustling conservative electorate. He is playing the liberal media card and saying he embodies conservative values. Like Bill with his credulous fans, Newt is hoping conservatives suffer amnesia. Possibly some do.

Romney Owes His Boost To Gingrich

When they meet in the green room before Monday night’s debate in South Carolina, Mitt Romney should probably give Newt Gingrich a big thank you.
