Ego is defined as "a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought." Many people would agree that to be a politician you need to have an ego but to be a memorable one you need a "big ego" or place high value on oneself, but when does that go to far. For the past couple of months the 3 top candidates for the GOP nominee have been Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich and as primaries are coming to a close and November quickly approaches it's evident who's the top contender. There can only be one, but Former...

Last night at the close of the Illinois Primary Mitt Romney took the win with over 46% of the vote. Romney's win in Illinois expands his delegate count to 300 helping him to gain a larger stride over 2nd runner up Rick Santorum. He's gaining momentum in the mid-west but is it enough juice to help him win conservative states in the south such as Louisiana? Last month Romney was able to rack up over $6 million through his Super PAC "Restore Our Future". That same PAC used that and $23 million more to fund television ads and etc in order to secure Romney's win on Tuesday. He has also been able...

Tuesday wrapped up the Alabama and Mississippi Republican Primaries and the big three, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are still going head to head till the finish line. The winner of both states primaries yesterday was Former Senator Rick Santorum, who many have nicknamed the comeback kid. Santorum and his conversative policy ideals worked their magic down south with Republican voters. Newt Gingrich came in second place behind Santorum and ironcially Mitt Romney came in third. Although he is technically still in the race Ron Paul's numbers were not comparable to the big three. According...

Super Tuesday wasn’t so super for Mitt Romney after all. Sure, he won 6 of the 10 states but his losses reveal a lot about his current campaign. Losing North Dakota, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Tennessee proved exactly what many Romney critics are concerned about; Romney doesn’t have this race in the bag. In addition to these losses, Romney won Ohio by a slim margin. This struggle reveals Santorum has much more appeal with working class voters and extreme conservatives. Super Tuesday increased Mitt Romney’s delegate count to a total of 364 and Santorum’s to a total of 164. The magic number...

During last week after poor performances in New Hampshire and South Carolina, two GOP Presidentials hopefuls have dropped out of the race. First on Monday Jon Huntsman made his announcement and provided his endorsement for Mitt Romney stating he was "best equipped to defeat Barack Obama". Huntsman who kept a seemingly low profile during the course of the GOP race, had been up and down in the polls due in part to his merely moderate conservative beliefs. Some argue that on the greater scale if he could survive the nominee race his moderate views could have appealed to independent voters to give...

The “Ricks” are having the worst week ever! Tuesday night was the New Hampshire primary. After the close and game-changing results of the Iowa caucus, I couldn’t wait to see the results of this primary. The winner of the primary was Mitt Romney, not much of a surprise there. In second place was Ron Paul. Where did Rick Santorum land in this primary? After such a great victory in Iowa, you might expect him to do well. Quite the contrary, Santorum found himself in the back of the pack, in fifth place. Santorum’s campaign spent 5 days in New Hampshire, a move that many strategists are calling...

Over the weekend ABC News held the Republican New Hampshire Debate and minus Michele Bachmann the #WolfPack came out in full force. Discussing a range of topics each man attempted to bring his A-game in advancing for the number 1 spot. Rick Santorum who finished strong at the Iowa Caucus came for President Obama calling him "clearly a Chicago politician" and stating that his (Obama) administration has made us soft. Santorum was rather confusing when questioned about his views on gay marriage- (still not clear if it's a state or federal issue). Huntsman developed his appeal to liberals and moderate...

With the Iowa caucus just one week away, GOP Presidential hopefuls are pulling out all the stops to target conservative voters in the Hawkeye State. The two veterans of the group Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, were at odds with one another over the Christmas break. Over the past week, both men experienced negative press that could potentially hurt their chances with voters. In an effort to deter the public from his "spanish is the language of the ghetto" comments, Gingrich came straight for Paul this weekend. Gingrich criticized Paul's knowledge of National Security stating that he is "the only...
