Iowa may feel like it, but it’s not the end of the world. Close, though. It sure feels like it these days. But things change. Fortunately for my political fortunes, Iowa is a mere speed bump on the long and winding road to the White House, a battleground among many in the war for political … Read More »
Good news for everyone except Hillary

Santa is coming early this year and he brought bags of good news for everyone. Except me. I don’t know where to start.
