In a telling, but non-scientific, survey of the Republican Party’s social conservative base, former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) won the 2009 Values Voter straw poll with a 28 percent plurality of the vote. Five-hundred and ninety-seven people voted.
In October 2007, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) won the first More…
Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) isn’t Washington’s biggest fan of President Obama, as his withdrawal from consideration for commerce secretary last month demonstrated. But nor does he want Obama to fail.

The Republican National Committee has sent out the full text of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s response to the presidential speech. It’s embargoed for now, but, spoiler alert: the governor uses Hurricane Katrina of an example of why Americans can’t trust government to save them.
The Republican National Committee has started putting out excerpts from Gov. Bobby Jindal’s (R-La.) response to the as-yet-undelivered prime time speech by President Obama.
Bobby Jindal, the Republican governor of Louisiana, is slated to deliver the GOP response to President Obama’s first address to Congress.
