We knew this was coming. In fact, in the first year of the Obama administration, I focused on this very issue. Now it has risen to the level of potential reality.

Just three weeks earlier, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was sailing high. He won the South Carolina primary and seemed headed for Florida with the wind at his back.

The GOP race for president is coming to a head very quickly. Yes, Newt Gingrich had a terrible launch. But that was, in political time, eons ago. Now, Gingrich is the last man standing. And if he keeps his mouth shut, he will be the GOP nominee.

Make no mistake about it. Both Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich know exactly what they are doing.

If anyone ever believed that the more conservative Bill Clinton really thought the more liberal Barack Obama was prepared to be president in 2008, let them wonder no longer.

Let's get this straight once and for all: The vast -- and I mean vast -- majority of those who identify themselves as Republican voters, or as independents who likely will vote in Republican primaries in 2012, have no problems with the tenets and beliefs of the tea party movement.

I've always considered former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to be an astute political observer.

So many want to put the entire blame on President Barack Obama for the reckless spending and huge debt that America suffers from. But it took an entire village of idiots to get us here.

About a year before he made his first run for the presidency, I had a chance to sit down and talk extensively with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
