Monday Morning Politics

Welcome to Monday Morning Politics – the place to catch up on the political stories from the weekend!

Almost every Monday I compile some of the political stories from the past weekend and put them in one place for all to see – and also offer some personal commentary!

Today I take a look at a super rich politician, I share the results of a poll, I check out who is on the ballot in Montana, I look at what Palin wrote, I write about Essmann getting out, I mention the “sweet 16″ who applied for a job in Helena, I talk about signs signs everywhere a sign, I let everyone know that the flim-flam man is heading east, and I wish a very happy birthday to one of my old bosses!

Politics 2012: Campaign Ads

Although we are getting deeper and deeper into the holiday season, the political ads are still being aired to try and get voters’ attention.

This week I found four that caught my eye:  Mitt V. Mitt from the DNC, failed promises from the RNC, get on board from the Obama campaign and The Challenge from Conservatives4Palin!   Plus, I added one more special video.  Enjoy…

Monday Morning Politics

For the past several Mondays, we’ve taken a look at some of the political stories that hit the World Wide Web over the weekend.

Why?

Because we don’t really have a life here at The Western Word – and it’s so you won’t have to waste your time looking for the political stories.  Plus, you will seem more politically intelligent to your family and co-workers…and we know that is important to you.

This week we take a look at a silent tour, out of state money, social security, Sarah Palin, Denny and Jon, Jon and Denny, Missoula elections, Little League, and much more!

So grab something to drink and get your Monday started off right by knowing all the political news from the weekend! Continue reading →

Along Came Perry

The boys and the girl vying for the GOP nomination for President in 2012 were having a great time in Iowa, attending the state fair (eating corn dogs and anything else that could be fried), participating in a debate on the Fox News Channel, and holding a straw poll.

All just seemed right in the world…

Just about the time it looked like there was a little clarity coming to the Presidential race with Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney doing well and Ron Paul making a decent showing, along came Texas Governor Rick Perry. Continue reading →

Bachmann Palin Overdrive

It’s kind of like Christmas when I hear about a new political poll coming out!  Instead of just cutting and pasting a few sentences from the poll to be the first one to break the news, I like to take a little time to “savor” the poll – and then let my readers know my thoughts.

Our friends at Public Policy Polling (PPP) have released a couple new polls with Montana ties.  One is a GOP Presidential poll that shows Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann leading Mitt Romney (that is if Sarah Palin stays off the ballot in 2012).

You can read about the poll HERE.

If Sarah Palin comes out to play, then she leads GOPers Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, and Mitt Romney in Big Sky Country.

That last sentence should be a key for every Montana Republican running for state-wide office.  At the top of their “To Do” list they should write:  1. Get Sarah Palin’s endorsement.  2. Get her to come to Montana to campaign for me.   Continue reading →

Monday Morning Politics

It was quite an interesting weekend in the political world!  Have no fear, the staff here at The Western Word (TWW) were monitoring the newspapers across the web and checking out a few newscasts and newspapers to keep up with all the happenings in the world of politics.

Here’s what we came up with: the Rehberg Campaign and organized labor, the Tea Party and Montana GOP Convention, candidates lining up, Weiner-gate, the Montana PSC and much MORE. Continue reading →

Caught My Eye…

Congrats!  It’s Friday and you made it…and you did not need a boat either!

Thanks for stopping by The Western Word and checking out this week’s edition of “Caught My Eye.”

Caught My Eye is where I take a look at some of the stories during the week that I did not have time to write about, and I briefly comment about them (sometimes with a little sarcasm).

This week some of the things that Caught My Eye were a Facebook sting, Facebook tattoo, Schweitzer and Baucus, Schweitzer and China, Iowa and Romney, Gingrich, Weiner, Blago, Palin, my political inbox and much much more (plus a music video at the end)!

So read on and have a great weekend! Continue reading →

Monday Night Television

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was on television last night being interviewed by Sean Hannity on his Fox News show. On CNN, we had the premier of Piers Morgan Tonight. Morgan interviewed Oprah Winfrey. A new episode of House was on the Fox Network.

There wasn’t a Monday Night Football game…so I was kind of lost. Football games are few and far between these days and that is depressing enough for a Tuesday.

So I watched House. I flipped over to watch Piers Morgan during the commercials. I caught up with the Sarah Palin interview via Fox’s website this morning. Preliminary numbers show that Hannity still won the timeslot.

Disclosure: I voted for McCain and Palin.

Face it, Sarah Palin is a real force in the conservative political world. She can raise money. Many of her endorsed candidates win. If you are a candidate on the far right side of the fence, you want her on your side. If you are a Republican In Name Only (RINO), watch out. Continue reading →

Just Shut Up…

Within a few minutes of the tragedy in Arizona the blame game started. The left blamed the right and the right blamed the left.

The cable news networks picked their sides and the debate started.

It’s time for everyone to just shut up – take a step back. Do no harm. People were murdered – one was a nine year-old girl – who just wanted to meet the congresswoman – a role model. Others have also suffered and some will be scarred for life both mentally and physically. Continue reading →

Caught My Eye…

Congrats on making it to another Friday! Do you know that Christmas is just 37 days from now?

This edition is a little late in being posted due to a glitch in WordPress, but I managed to work around the glitch with the help of WordPress tech support! 

This week several stories from around the globe grabbed my attention so they have received some mention in this edition of Caught My Eye!

If this is your first time stopping by The Western Word, “Caught My Eye” is where I comment about the stories that I did not have time to write about during the week – and sometimes I add just a little sarcasm… Continue reading →
