Alan Riquelmy spews his take on the world of politics and the politics of the world.
We here at PP&B are not swayed by Rick Santorum's Feb. 7 wins in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado. This is just the latest chapter in the book about the 2012 GOP nominating process.
More...Despite all of our beliefs that Mitt Romney will be the eventual GOP nominee, this election cycle is going to last for a few more months.
More...Hello? Bueller? Anyone hear that Herman Cain endorsed Newt Gingrich for the presidency of the United States?
More...As most of you know, President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address Tuesday night. Most of it is filled with the usual political rhetoric, but there are a few tidbits we'd like to point out as possibly being worth looking at. Or for some of you, worth being horribly terrified by.
More...The Ledger-Enquirer live blogged the 2012 State of the Union address, which aired Jan. 24, 2012. See a full recap below:
More...You must think after Saturday's primary in South Carolina, and Newt Gingrich's sizable win, that we here at PP&B are eating crow.
More...The GOP field has really ramped up the guillotine these past few weeks. Rick Perry, announcing he would no longer pursue the GOP nomination, is only the most recent casualty of an increasingly hostile campaign.
More...Catch the cute reference in our title? Heh. That's right. We're that cool.
More...Jon Huntsman, a guy who had absolutely no shot at becoming the Republican nominee for president, announced through an anonymous aide Sunday night that he's dropping out of the presidential campaign.
More...Now that the heady excitement of the New Hampshire primary has died down, we here at PP&B wanted to take a look at the bigger picture.
More...We here at the underground dungeon offices of PP&B were just getting ready for the Republican debate tonight (1/7/2012) when we noticed something on the Yahoo! political news tab a bit too close to comfort.
More...We here at PP&B wanted to give everyone a few days respite from the heady events of Tuesday night. You feelin' all right now? Good. Let's do this:
More...It's kind of sad, really. You have all this build up, like to Christmas Day, and then when the big event happens it's like a bubble bursting.
More...Who is ready for some serious caucusing?
More...With the new year coming up, and all the festivities that entails, we here at the diamond-studded offices of PP&B thought we'd sit a spell and muse about the ever popular topic of alcohol consumption.
More...Herman Cain, the former presidential candidate who left the race over much ado, recently said he won't yet release the name of who he's gonna endorse.
More...Think birtherism is dead because Barack Obama released his long form birth certificate? Whatever.
More...Now that our insidious media machine has disposed of Herman Cain, it appears that we're down to the two Republicans who stand a chance of actually getting the nomination.
More...In a move that everyone saw coming, presidential candidate and godfather Herman Cain "suspended" his presidential campaign Saturday afternoon.
More...Herman Cain is starting to realize what many of us have known for quite a few weeks -- that he has no chance of securing the Republican nomination, much less the presidency.
