In case you’re new, I’m a delegate to the Iowa State Republican Convention this year. And it is today.
So far we’ve had an interesting day. I thought for sure we were in for a long haul after the extended time spent on the report from the Rules Committee. One of the rules [...]

We’ve kept it pretty loose here at TCR with regard to the continued havoc being wrought by Hillary Clinton against her party. Every day, the lack of her stepping down extends further and further the demise of Democrats and Obama’s chance to manipulate his way into high office.
Amazingly enough, however, the party faithful are [...]
I tend to agree with just about everyone on the planet (Michelle Malkin, Bithead, Sean Hannity, et al) that has told John McCain, in fairly direct terms, that he’s a dunce for asking the North Carolina GOP to back off with the Obama ads featuring the Reverend Wright. All this at about the same time [...]

I’m impressed with Mitt’s decision. According to Fox News, he said:
“If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator (Hillary) Clinton or (Barack) Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply [...]

Not surprisingly, Obama and Clinton are now neck-and-neck, with Obama slightly ahead.
McCain definitely has a commanding lead now, and Huckabee would be doing everyone a favor by dropping out now and bequeathing his delegates to Romney. There’s still a chance for Romney, but Huckabee would have to do the almost impossible… once Romney and McCain [...]

Numbers still coming in, but mostly it appears that McCain is taking a large number of delegates over Romney and Huckabee, and Hillary is a bit ahead of Obama. Tomorrow will tell more.
West Virginia surprised a few people when Huckabee won.
Sister Toldjah has been blogging throughout the day.
Meanwhile, the Stock Market is way down today, [...]
I promised I would try and take a position on the remaining candidates before things are settled. I’m probably too late, but tomorrow still has possibilities for Romney. The party is definitely looking like it’s leaning to port, and it’s what we have to work with.
Of the remaining candidates, I definitely prefer Mitt [...]
To a group in Myrtle Beach, did Mike Huckabee really say:
“You don’t want people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag,” Huckabee told an audience in Myrtle Beach. “If somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we’d tell ‘em what to [...]
We will be posting comments here throughout the day today. I’ll be out off-line for a few hours, but will be back. Please feel free to leave comments here throughout today regarding the polling.
11:00 AM ET: Today is a big day. Sister Toldjah notes that the weather in South Carolina is [...]
It seems that just when you think Mike Huckabee is seeing the light (or at least figuring out how to pretend he has), we get this…
There’s some good comments in the midst of this interview, but there’s two real issues here:
1) Huck’s comments (actually from a speech the night before) make it sound like he [...]
