permalink...in limerick style:
There once was a guy we call Sam
Who’s a conservative politician
He said he’s whole-life
With religion he’s rife
And now he’s at home with the fam.
A Senator surnamed Brownback
His campaign was never on track
His third place in Ames
Sent his bid up in flames
And donations his campaign did lack.

permalink- From abortion to nuclear pork projects, Thompson's lobbying record leaves much to be desired for conservatives. Kenneth Vogel over at the Politico has the extensive details on the nuclear blemish on Thompson's bona fides.
- "It sounds like an effort by Giuliani to make himself seem like a hawk on immigration when, in fact, he's been a dove all along," the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, Mark Krikorian, said. More here.

Matt Lewis spotlights a new message from the Brownback campaign:
The Brownback for President Campaign announced today it is officially proposing a new word be added to Webster's Dictionary: "Mitt-amorphasis."
Definition:
1. (v) A self-directed and self-contradictory cyclical process, occurring in even-numbered years, by which a Massachusetts politician transforms at will.
I kinda like Brownback, and he's got some good people working for him. But man, you just cannot go after an opponent on flip-flopping
when you just voted "yes", then "no" on cloture for the immigration deal in a span of about 13 minutes. You just can't.
This would be like Hillary charging that Obama has likeability and baggage issues.

RS:
Today, the Senate voted on an amendment to eliminate sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants.
The amendment failed by one vote.
Sam Brownback did not vote.
Does anyone know why?
(Before anyone jumps down his throat or mine, I'm sure there's a reason.)
Apparently he also missed another crucial vote earlier in the weekLabels: brownback

permalinkMMM reader Will Munsil makes some astute observations about the CPAC straw poll
He has a very good looking site to boot!
http://timeforchoosing.com/node/1111. Romney was the only candidate to finish in the top 2 in every segment of the conservative movement that he mentioned in his speech (1st in fiscal, 2nd in social, 2nd in national security)
2. Every other candidate has one (or more) areas of the conservative coalition that will under no circumstances choose them as their favorite, with the possible exception of McCain. For example, Brownback gets killed in fiscal and national security conservatives, Giuliani gets only 8% of social conservatives, etc)
3. Therefore, Romney is the only candidate with a legitimate chance of uniting fiscal, social, and national security conservatives to create the same kind of national coalition that Bush gathered. Nominating anyone else (again, with the possible exception of McCain, but I really don't think he will win when stacked up against Romney's relative youth, overwhelming charisma and optimism, etc) will cause segments of the GOP coalition to sit it out a little bit, causing President Hillary.
4. Romney's stand-out performance among young voters will only get stronger. In my opinion, my generation looks for optimism, pragmatism and dynamism from their politicians (note Obama's popularity among young Dems). Romney is the only Republican candidate who exemplifies all three of those traits. Romney, as his name and voice get out there, could be Obama-style popular among young Republicans.
