The Wisconsin governor is the talk of Washington Republicans following his much-heralded speech in Iowa last weekend during the state's first 2016 candidate cattle call.

Pew: Sharp racial split on whether it's okay to publish Mohammed cartoons 1/29/2015 8:01:14 PM Allahpundit 36 Comments Fascinating but frustrating, as asking if it’s “okay” is just about the vaguest way to phrase a question related to blasphemy. The “not okay” group could include people who think it’s impolite but tolerable to publish; More... Mike Pence's experiment in state-run media throttled to death in its crib 1/29/2015 7:21:05 PM Noah Rothman 37 Comments Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's proposal to use taxpayer funds in order to establish what he later characterized as an information "clearinghouse" for members of the press and average Hoosiers alike was a terrible idea.

It begins: Top Romney advisor jumps ship to Jeb Bush, will serve as national campaign manager 1/29/2015 6:41:39 PM Allahpundit 62 Comments A little nudge from Team Jeb to remind the new and improved Romney that this race will be new in lots of ways, many of which he won’t like.
