Sarah Palin Hooked Up With Glen Rice?

Former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin had sex with National Basketball Association (NBA) star Glen Rice in 1987, according to an excerpt from a new book written by investigative journalist Joe McGinniss.
The encounter – which stemmed from a rumored “fetish” Palin had for black men – allegedly occurred during a basketball tournament in Alaska [...]

Following The “First In The South” Endorsements

With a pair of high profile fiscal conservatives in South Carolina unveiling their 2012 presidential picks over the Labor Day weekend, we figured now was as good a time as any to begin compiling a list of all the big (and not-so-big) “First in the South” endorsements.
Unlike other lists, though, our endorsement hierarchy includes more [...]

FOX Poll: Bad News For Palin

A whopping 71 percent of Republican voters do not want Sarah Palin to run for president. Meanwhile, 66 percent of self-described Tea Party members also don’t want her to run.
Ouch, right? Making matter worse for Palin, those poll numbers are coming straight from FOX News – the network where the former Alaska governor serves as [...]

Mande: Nikki Haley Is Ugly

The thing we love most about Mande Wilkes? It’s like looking into a mirror … and finding a much sexier reflection.
Seriously, she’s like the female version of our founding editor – an intelligent, unfiltered political presence who effortlessly integrates sex and substance into a delightfully arousing and provocative mix.
Another “Sic Willie-esque” club in her bag?
Cattiness [...]

Rick Perry Surges To Commanding SC Lead

As we predicted last week (not that it required any real clairvoyance on our part), Texas Gov. Rick Perry has jumped out to a commanding early lead in early-voting (and easily-impressionable) South Carolina.
In the first “First in the South” survey taken since Perry jumped into the race earlier this month, the Bible-thumping big government “Republican” [...]

Hurry Up, Sarah Palin

We are not among the two-fifths of Republican voters nationwide who have ruled out Sarah Palin as a presidential choice (those numbers are from a new Pew poll released on Thursday, by the way).
How could we be?
For starters, we’re not Republicans. Nor are we even really voters (at least not recently).
Aside from all of that, [...]

Bachmann’s Got (Cheap) Gas

We praised U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann recently for taking a gutsy position on entitlements … but she may have placed herself in a box with her recent promise regarding America’s gas prices.
“The day that the president became president gasoline was $1.79 a gallon,” Bachmann told a crowd in early-voting South Carolina this week. “Look what [...]

The $100,000 Endorsement?

Did S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley pay $100,000 for the endorsement that propelled her to victory in the 2010 Republican gubernatorial primary election?
That’s the story we’re hearing … although it’s not yet entirely clear how Palin was compensated for the gig, which helped deliver the GOP nomination to Haley.
A month before SCGOP primary voters cast their [...]

Nikki Haley Versus The Media … Again

For the last six months, the Columbia, South Carolina bureau of the Associated Press might as well have been an extension of Gov. Nikki Haley’s communications office …
Whenever Haley needed a story leaked, her office called the AP first – and whenever she needed to respond to a negative story in another media outlet, the [...]

Mitt Romney Still Ahead In SC

Another poll has been released showing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leading the field of 2012 Republican presidential wanna-bes in early-voting South Carolina …
Amazing, isn’t it? Romney has avoided the Palmetto state like the plague during the 2012 campaign and spent virtually no money building an organization here – a stark contrast to the extensive, [...]

Bachmann Gets “Welcomed” To SC

Having already rolled out the “welcome” mat for GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman and Sarah Palin, the liberal filmmakers at SC Forward Progress turned their attention this week to U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota).
The group released its fourth video of the 2012 campaign cycle (above) in honor of Bachmann’s two-day tour through South [...]

Palin Versus Bachmann?

If former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin does jump into the 2012 Republican presidential election, it could set off the “Mother of All Cat Fights.” Just don’t expect FOX News to act as an impartial judge in the event the fur starts flying …
On Sunday, the conservative news network – which pays Palin $1 million a [...]
