in 2017/Top Headlines by

Valentine’s Day is a day of romance, and Americans United for Change is sending a love letter to their friends in the GOP. Tongue-in-cheek that is. In a new email, the progressive advocacy group, fronted by Democratic operative Brad Woodhouse, issued its Republican Party Valentine’s Day cards. “Having trouble expressing yourself to that special someone in your life this Valentine’s season,” the email asks. “Why not let the Republican candidates do it for you with these personalized cards from their favorite…

Ted Cruz app data collection helps campaign read minds of voters

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Protecting the privacy of law-abiding citizens from the government is a pillar of Ted Cruz‘s Republican presidential candidacy, but his campaign is testing the limits of siphoning personal data from supporters. His “Cruz Crew” mobile app is designed to gather detailed information from its users’ phones — tracking their physical movements and mining the names and contact information for friends who might want nothing to do with his campaign. That information and more is then fed into a vast database…

Mitch Perry Report for 2.11.16 – Carly and Chris bid adieu to the circus

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina have suspended their presidential campaigns. This reporter had the chance to see the New Jersey governor (yes, that is the day job he’s pretty much blown off for months) a week ago in Keene, N.H. The fun part about that was how intimate it was: It was a small crowd (maybe too small, an indication of how he was going to perform on Tuesday), but other than a few opening remarks, the 90-minute event was all about him…

Jumbled GOP field hopes for survival in South Carolina

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Hoping for survival in the South, a muddled field of Republican presidential contenders descended Wednesday on South Carolina, no closer to clarity about who can stand between Donald Trump and their party’s nomination. Not me, Carly Fiorina announced, dropping out of the campaign. A Chris Christie spokeswoman said his race was over, too. But a sizeable field remained. To the dismay of party leaders, all signs point to a drawn-out battle for delegates following Trump’s resounding victory in New Hampshire.…

How Ted Cruz plans to win Florida and the South

in 2017/Top Headlines by

The big story coming out of New Hampshire, arguably: Ted Cruz finishing third with a financial outlay of just $580,000, which easily was the best ROI for votes for any candidate in either primary. Cruz, dismissed by the media after his Iowa victory, and his third place finish in New Hampshire, is in the game for the duration. In a Wednesday conversation in Jacksonville with his campaign chairman, Chad Sweet, a wide range of topics came up. Among them: Cruz’s strategy for…

New Hampshire was said to be the crucible for the three governors running for the centrist/establishment lane of the GOP presidential contest. The winner of that competition was John Kasich, the Ohio Governor who came in second place behind Donald Trump. Jeb Bush came in fourth, ahead of Marco Rubio and Chris Christie, whose future in the race now looks dubious.

It is on me. I did not do well on Saturday night — listen to this: that will never happen again. That will never happen again.” What…
