Interview w/ Dan Bongino (R-MD)

Mitt Romney’s Opening with Conservatives (or, Ewww, He’s a Capitalist)

A lot of us who aren’t crazy aboot Mitt Romney as our candidate have been waiting for the other candidates to go after his record and challenge him. What we weren’t expecting were them to attack him FROM THE LEFT and go after his time at Bain Capital and for otherwise engaging in capitalism. I made light of this yesterday, and I don’t feel bad because Romney has used class warfare rhetoric against his opponents long before this. It still put a lot of us in the odd position of defending him.

There’s an opening here though. See, as much as it makes me uncomfortable to see other Republicans attacking their opponents as liberals, I’m glad they did because it lets primary voters see a) what’s waiting for him from the Democrats, and b) see how Romney reacts to the attacks. And therein lies his opening to unify everyone, because the biggest issue many of us have with Romney is that we don’t think he’s going to have the balls to punch back and go after President Obama, the Democrats, and the usual Obama Media Complex.

Marc Cendella: An “Anti-Tax Entrepreneur” for a Better New York

“[Cendella]is out there working hard and meeting with a lot of people…very, very impressive young man.” – Manhattan G.O.P. chairman Dan Isaacs

Unlike most of the other rumoured NY Senate candidates I left myself get excited by (::cough::dansenor::cough::), Mark Cendella seems more serious than the rest and while a definitive announcement hasn’t been made yet, he’s hired the guy who led Bob Turner to victory, and has been making the rounds talking to GOP heads and even grabbed some time with journalist Fed Dicker at the recent State of the State.

Cendella, who supported Ron Paul in ’08 and sits on the board of the club for growth, plans a jumping starting his own campaign with his own millions (a necessity if you’re running state wide in New York). He plans on drawing from his background as a young entrepreneur and job creator as the cornerstone of his campaign…

Weekly Republican Address 1/7/12: Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-NY)

In the Weekly Republican Address, Representative Nan Hayworth (R-NY) highlights House Republicans’ Plan for America’s Job Creators and the 27 bipartisan jobs bills still awaiting action in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Our national unemployment rate remains above 8 percent for 35 consecutive months–the longest stretch since the Great Depression. It’s a new year, and Americans still can’t wait for the Senate to take up these jobs bills.

Election 2012: Job Creators are the New Hotness

Meet Marc Cenedella and Mark Rosen. Marc I introduced you to a few weeks ago. He’s the CEO of TheLadders.com, and considering (or rumoured to be) a run against Kristin Gilligan in the US Senate. Mark is officially running for congress in the NY-18, and is a senior vice-president at Adecco. The both of them I think are the perfect types of candidates to draft in 2012.

Think aboot it. Jobs are going to be the key campaign issue this year. People don’t have them. The Obama Campaign’s policies aren’t creating them, and in some cases are preventing them from being created. Enter Cenedella and Rosen. TheLadders.com is a job search engine. Adecco is an employment agency.

They not only have experience creating jobs, they have experience creating jobs for people whose job it is to help others find jobs of their own.

Newt Gingrich Judges Your Candidates Economic Plan

“Nothing will turn America around more than election night, when Barack Obama loses decisively.” - Newt Gingrich

My friend and colleague Jimmie Bise was lamenting the other day on the Twitters on how none of our candidates are talking aboot the issues (disclosure, we’re both Gingrich supporters). You hear a lot of who is being mean, who should drop out, who’s lying…the candidates are almost on the verge of ragging on each other mothers.

There’s hasn’t been nearly enough talk aboot jobs/taxes/economy at all, and that includes the candidates themselves not talking aboot their plans (Huntsman’s and Perry’s were particularly good). Newt Gingrich tried to rectify that with a bus tour across Iowa touting his economic plan…
