PPP is out with a new poll that is very interesting: 49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been […]
The darling GOP Governor of the Tea Party, Scott Walker, is under some serious scrutiny: Gov. Scott Walker and his top campaign and Milwaukee County aides were named Monday as part of a team that routinely commingled political and official county business. The disclosures came during the sentencing of a former aide to Walker during […]

The Republican Party is on life support and needs serious help. Sure Democrats have reason to celebrate this week, but the left should be really concerned about what might happen if the GOP continues down their current path of self-annihilation. This is something I have been talking about for years now and Nicholas Kristof hits […]
Yesterday I noticed a growing sentiment amongst those on the right; that they lost because of Mitt Romney.
