Poll: Christie and Clinton Early Front-Runners for 2016 Presidential Race
by T CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS •
It’s seems a little silly to be looking ahead to the 2016 presidential election when 2012 is still months away from being decided. Silly, yes; but we’re going to do it anyway. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are the early front-runners in the 2016 presidential race according to a new poll released by Public Policy Polling. Clinton has a commanding lead among Democrats polling at 57% with Joe Biden a distant second at 14%. If she were to decide not to run, the race looks a little less clear. Biden would be the presumptive favorite, but the margin drops significantly. The Republican side of the ledger is a little tighter. Chris Christie comes in at 21% with Mike Huckabee and Jeb Bush on his heels at 17%. Santorum, Rubio, Ryan, and (Rand) Paul round out the list. The numbers for the Republican side, of course, assume that Mitt Romney is not running for re-election.

Herman Cain Says Murfreesboro Community Has Right to Deny Mosque Construction
by T CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS •
Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain made an appearance on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace this morning and put his candidacy on full display for an electorate/viewing audience very much ready for a candidate to take command of the primary campaign. Opening the interview with a reference to his last appearance where he dropped the ball on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict saying “I’m exercising my right of return to your show.” While obviously scripted – and a little lame – Cain once again demonstrated that he’s a man not only comfortable in his own skin but also humble enough to own his missteps when they befall him.
Ten Most Coveted Republican Endorsements?
by T CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS •
The Hill has a list of “Ten Coveted Endorsements of Republicans Running for President.” If I’m writing about it, I think you can probably guess that I’m got a few problems with the list. In fairness to The Hill, the list says “coveted” – not “most coveted”, so I guess they left themselves some wiggle-room. Either way, I still have a few problems with their assessment.
Mystery Republican Presidential Candidate Emerges in Iowa?
by T CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS •
Could a “mystery candidate” be planning to enter the race for the Republican nomination? There’s a very interesting story up at ABC’s The Note detailing just that kind of development. Could it be Palin? Maybe Perry? Christie? Rubio?
Karl Rove: “Why Obama is Likely to Lose in 2012″
by T CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS •
Karl Rove says President Obama will lose in 2012 because he faces “four serious threats.” The economy is very weak and unlikely to experience a robust recovery by Election Day. Key voter groups have soured on him. He’s defending unpopular policies. And he’s made bad strategic decisions.
Poll: Generic Republican Leads President Obama for 2012
by T CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS •
Results of a new Gallup Poll show a “generic Republican” leading President Obama in the race for the White House. Forty-four percent of registered voters say they are more likely to vote for “the Republican Party’s candidate” and 39% for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, according to Gallup’s June update. The current five-percentage-point edge for the generic Republican is not a statistically significant lead, and neither side has held a meaningful lead at any point thus far in 2011.
