Mitt Romney as Adlai Stevenson

by Joshua Sharf | 2:29 am, December 24, 2012

These comments by Mitt Romney’s son Tagg have gotten a lot of attention in the last couple of days: In an interview with the Boston Globe examining what went wrong with the Romney campaign, his eldest son Tagg explains that his father had been a reluctant candidate from the start. After failing to win the [...]

Regionalizing Collar Counties – Another Reason for the Suburbs to Reject Obama’s Entreaties

by Joshua Sharf | 7:41 am, November 2, 2012

Much of the election this year has focused on the suburbs, or, as Joel Kotkin calls them, “America’s last politically-contested territory.”  Republicans have attempted to appeal to their economic concerns over mounting debt and the threat of joblessness to their middle-class security.  Democrats have attempted to appeal largely to their independent women’s vote, focusing on [...]

Tonight’s Surprise – China?

by Joshua Sharf | 8:00 am, October 22, 2012

In trying to anticipate Monday night’s debate, we’re all thinking about Benghazi.  (Well, all of us except the New York Times, in whose Sunday edition the word does not appear.)  But the White House has more or less gone silent on Benghazi in the last few days, refusing to answer questions about it.  And they have to [...]

Obama Campaign Flying on Auto-Pilot

by Joshua Sharf | 11:18 pm, October 21, 2012

There’s a saying among pilots: Plan your flight, and fly your plan.  If you’ve done your homework beforehand, your plan is the surest way out of trouble and to your destination. Nevertheless, any good flight plan includes alternatives in the case of, say, unexpected headwinds. For several months, it has been clear that the Democrats’ [...]

Obama’s Campaign Finance Loopholes

by Joshua Sharf | 1:26 pm, October 15, 2012

Newly-inaugurated Pres. Obama promised that transparency would be the hallmark of his administration in a statement on January 21, 2009: “The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable. And the way to make government accountable is to make it transparent so that the American people can know exactly what decisions are being [...]

Pitfalls in the Vice Presidential Debate

by Joshua Sharf | 1:34 pm, October 8, 2012

Fresh of Mitt Romney’s knock-out in the first Presidential Debate last Wednesday, Republicans are already licking their chops at the prospect of Paul Ryan going up against Joe Biden on Thursday.  Allow me to interject a note of caution. There’s little question that Paul Ryan is both smarter and sharper than Biden.  His celebrated dissection [...]

Democrat Disillusionment

by Joshua Sharf | 1:31 pm, October 7, 2012

Wednesday night, Mitt Romney punctured the balloon that was Barack Obama’s inflated reputation as a debater and communicator.  I guess having a hollow core and thin skin is a bad combination.
