NIKKI HALEY APPROVAL RATING
QUESTION: I can’t believe her [...]
Romney’s Insta-Veep Flip
That didn’t take long …
Just as Rick James didn’t – then did – grind his feet on Eddie Murphy’s couch (and just as Nikki Haley didn’t – then did – have a password for a fraudulent job application she submitted to a former employer); Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney didn’t – then did – have [...]
Trikki Nixes No. 2 (Again)
S .C. Gov. Nikki Haley says she would not accept the vice presidential nomination in the event it was offered to her.
“I’d say, ‘Thank you, but no,’” Haley told ABC News. “I made a promise to the people of this state. And I think that promise matters. And I intend to keep it.”
Haley? Keep a [...]
Nikki Haley: “I Am The Flavor Of The Month”
A week after telling a Canadian publication that “everybody wants to talk about VP with me,” S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley told a national radio audience that she is the “flavor of the month” in the race for the No. 2 spot on the 2012 Republican ticket.

Anyway, while it would probably be pretty cool to be a “heartbeat away” from the presidency, DeMint told the National Journal this [...]
Trikki Nikki’s “Quick Wins”
All S.C. Gov.-elect “Trikki” Nikki Haley wants for Christmas (politically-speaking) are guarantees from legislative leaders that she’ll get two “quick wins” when the S.C. General Assembly reconvenes in January. Specifically, Haley wants a “small business income tax cut” (click here for more on the truth behind that proposal) and some kind of education funding reform.

1950 Called: It Wants Its Sexist Feminists Back
Think that headline is an oxymoron? It should be, but unfortunately in today’s age of warped feminism, it isn’t.
Enter Sarah Palin as John McCain’s veep pick. McCain’s announcement of Palin last Friday was a historic moment, and as such stole much of the media spotlight from coverage of Barack Obama’s own historic speech the previous [...]
Were We Right?
LIEBERMAN STILL RUMORED AS POSSIBLE GOP VEEP PICK
FITSNews – July 31, 2008 – We first wrote back in March about former Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman being a possible surprise VP pick for Republican John McCain this year. Such an unconventional selection – our sources argued at the time – would [...]
