As the primary season unfolds this year, I was interested to find out what the Final Republican Delegate Count would be if the 2008 Republican Primary were tomorrow. Below are the results of my research. These figures include the results of the most recent Primaries (South Carolina and Nevada) and the latest polling data. I have also added more state-by-state polling data, as well as a new

Yesterday the state was hit with its first major snow storm of the season. As usual, the Hartford Courant, WTNH Channel 8 News and others (oddly enough though, not the New Haven Register...) were on the beat to report on the conditions of the storm. The first sentence of the Courant article says it all: "A heavy snowfall blanketed most of the state Thursday, shutting down stretches of the

We all want the best for our country. And, when it comes to conservatives, we all want our Republican Presidential Candidate to beat whomever the Democrat Party nominates. Therefore, it is in our best interest to support the nomination of the Democrat candidate that is the weakest, so that come the general election, the Republican candidate will be a shoe in. This is the line of reasoning

Say's Law of Markets states that there can be no demand without supply. The law is named for French economist Jean-Baptiste Say, who lived 1767-1832. Say was a classical liberal, who believed in free market, laissez-faire economics. The basic idea is that recessions occur when there is a lack of supply, not a lack of demand, and conversely, prosperity occurs when production is increased.

The Hartford Courant reported last week that a Grand Jury had been appointed to investigate alleged corruption charges of Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez and his administration. Apparently, Perez has been under investigation since last February. Three specific corruption allegations are mentioned in the story: Giving a lucrative no-bid contract to operate a city-owned parking lot to political

I was browsing through the Hartford Courant's website at www.courant.com, and this story by Ann Marie Somma caught my eye. The basic gist of the article is that,"Every year, hundreds of low-income, terminally ill patients insured by the state's Medicaid program have little option but to greet death alone in sterile hospital rooms because the state doesn't offer them a hospice benefit."Hospice

In Summer 2008, Honda will be releasing a limited number of new cars in Southern California. What's different about that? The Honda FCX Clarity is the first commercially available automobile powered by Hydrogen Fuel Cells. The fuel cell powers it's electric motor by converting hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and emitting only water vapor as a waste product. According to Honda, "the FCX

I am sure you have been following all of the news simmering in the background of the Presidential campaign about Pakistan.

Consent of the Governed has a chilling post today about a recent government raid on the headquarters of the American Liberty Dollar, a private currency backed by real gold and silver. Apparently, the headquarters was raided, and all of the gold and silver used to back the currency were confiscated by the FBI and the Secret Service. The government claims that Mr. Bernard von NotHaus, creator of

Blog New Canaan is a great blog that focuses on events in New Canaan, CT. I have been to New Canaan, and it is a wonderful town in Southwestern Connecticut between Norwalk and Stamford. For example, this weekend they are having their May Fair, and it sounds like it will be terrific fun. So, check out Blog New Canaan, the newest edition to the Capitalist League Blog List.

Recently, Colin Urban asked me: "...Also, you seem to group liberalism in with socialism. I can see how you may associate the two but they are far from the same thing." Well Colin, as for socialism vs. liberalism, you are correct. They are different in the textbook definitions. Socialism advocates that all property is controlled collectively. The old aphorism is "From Those Who Are Able, To

I read this story by Lee Dye at ABCNews, and I just had to share it with you.

Income Tax Relief: How Flat is Fair? State Lawmakers last week were arguing once again about how much the "rich" should pay in taxes. It seems that because of a series of exemptions and loopholes, Connecticut families are able to pay much less than the 5% state income tax.

Critical Realignment Theory is a much debated theory in the field of political science regarding party politics. The basic theory states that there is a major shift in United States political party ideology, issues and coalitions about every 30 years. V.O.
