Florida Primary underway


Voters are marching to the polls today in the GOP Primary in Florida.

Most experts and news channels predict a Romney victory, as he has spent the most money and run the most television ads. However, I think he will win by a very small margin because he is unloved by Conservatives.

I predict a 6-8 point win by Romney. This will springboard him back into the lead.

Romney will then win Nevada and start to be seen as "inevitable" again.

Until Super Tuesday when Romney gets his butt kicked by Gingrich all across the Deep South.

Then, it is a battle royale until the convention.

Congressman Allen West to Obama & Pelosi: "Get the hell out!"



Florida Congressman Allen West throws down the gauntlet.

Democrats in Florida are trying to re-district him out of his seat.

He doesn't sound too worried about them.

This Is What A President Sounds Like



Senator Marco Rubio of Florida gives the best possible reply to Barack Obamas State of The Union speech.

It was a big mistake for the GOP to let this guy stay out of the 2012 mix. If he had run, I think he would have become almost like our own John Kennedy for the GOP. He would have massive swarms of followers.

He would be pulling away from Romney and Gingrich right now, because he doesn't have their political baggage.

The fact that he is the number one name on every political list of VP candidates should tell you something.

Maybe we have the wrong guy at the top of the ticket.

Advantage, Romney


A few days ago when Newt Gingrich routed Mitt Romney in the South Carolina primary, I thought it was the turning point in the campaign. Now, I'm not so sure.

Gingrich had an uncharacteristically poor performance in the Florida CNN Debate, and he may tumble a bit. I actually think Romney will win Florida because of his massive advertising budget there.

It certainly didn't help Gingrich when several GOP leaders came out and bashed him in public, including former nominee Bob Dole.

I still think Gingrich can fire up the base in a way that Romney never will.

But I see a clear path to the nomination for Romney if he continues to do well. He made the ballot in all 50 states, whereas Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum missed a few ballot deadlines or requirements.

Romney may not get to the convention with the necessary delegates, because Gingrich and Ron Paul will hound him all the way to Tampa. But if he gets there with a plurality, there will be pressure on the others to step aside.

I'm predicting a 6 to 7 point win for Romney in Florida, and a big win for him in Nevada.

That should slow down Newts momentum coming out of South Carolina.

Romney is not out of danger yet, but he is looking like he's in the best position so far.

Liberals incensed at Arizona Governor




You had to expect this.

The liberal media went ballistic yesterday after Arizona Governor Jan Brewer had a meeting with Barack Obama on an airport tarmac. Brewer delivered a hand written letter welcoming him to Arizona and bragging about the recovery in Arizona.

Photographers caught a photo of Brewer addressing the President that was probably misinterpreted. It appears as though Brewer is wagging her finger in Obamas face and chewing him out, but more likely it was just Brewer caught in the middle of a hand gesture.

Liberals, as is their wont, immediately assumed grievous racism and held table panel discussions on all the liberal media talk shows. They were overly pious as they described the hateful and hurtful actions of Governor Brewer.

It is true that there seems to be no love lost between Brewer and Obama....but the media probably overplayed this to stir up controversy. If Brewer was truly that confrontational, Obama could have simply skipped meeting with her.

Destroying Romney


The last few weeks haven't been too kind to me. I go to Pasadena to watch my beloved Badgers get beat by Oregon. Then as a new part-owner of the Green Bay Packers, I travel home to Green Bay to see them lay an egg in the playoffs after a 15-1 season.

While at home in Green Bay, my top choice for 2012, Governor Rick Perry of Texas, drops out of the race. Perry never recovered from some stumbles in the debates.... and it cost him the White House.

At least one thing seems to be working out for me, though.

Newt Gingrich is wrecking Mitt Romney. Absolutely destroying him.

Not that I'm a fan of Gingrich, but at least Gingrich has done a few Conservative things in his life and held the line against Socialism when he was working as Speaker of The House.

Romney was wandering around in squishy liberal-land when serving as Governor of Massachusetts.

Mark my words... Gingrich will win big in Florida and rout Romney the rest of the way.

Gingrich is far from perfect, but he can gut Romney like a fish.

Romney won't even say mean things about Obama.
That is not the mood of the voters this year.

The Iron Lady


As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, I've been getting a lot of screeners mailed to me in recent weeks. The different studios are promoting their films in return for possible votes in the SAG Awards.

Great variety I've been getting in the mail ...The Artist, Moneyball, The Help, Bridesmaids. All films I hadn't gotten around to seeing in theaters.

Last night I watched a copy of "The Iron Lady" with Meryl Streep, which tells the story of how Margaret Thatcher rose through the ranks of the British Conservative Party to become the United Kingdoms first female Prime Minister, and one of the most powerful political leaders ever to take charge of any country in the world.

Streep is amazing and clearly did a lot of work for this role. The other ladies who are contending for Best Actress at the Oscars this year don't need to bother writing a speech.
Streep is a lock.

The film was inspirational, as I admire Thatchers tenacity, but one aspect I didn't like was its focus on her later years when she started losing her memory and had to be "handled" by officials assigned to care for her.

Overall, though....it was good work and will win many, many awards for Streep.
