Florida Is Not The End – And Some Thoughts on The Crime War
It looks like a Mitt win in Florida, and a big one, but the big challenge is still ahead and that would be Super Tuesday, when so many Southern states are in the mix. Romney’s comeback is impressive, but it’s mainly a result of Newt’s shockingly undramatic debate performances. What happened to the juice?
And what about Santorum? Now dealing with personal matters, the health of his daughter, Santorum says he will stay in the race. I thought he would be out by now. but Santorum, our sources tells us, feels that he has a real obligation to stay in as long as he can. One thing I know about Santorum: He doesn’t change his views for political purposes – never has. It is this commitment to his principles that has kept him going – but his failure to appeal to the American center is what will eventually end his candidacy.
Mayor’s War On Crime -
Bet on it. Michael Nutter’s offer for rewards in homicide cases, coupled with an all out war, on all fronts, will work. I had a long conversation with Charles Ramsey, the Police Commissioner a few weeks ago. Ramsey, like the mayor, is calling for a change in culture, a war of words to convince some Philadelphians that they don’t have to accept violence – that there are easy steps to help prevent it, one of them — keeping track of your kid’s activities on the internet. Worried about invasion of their privacy? Who cares? It is their safety you should be worried about.
WHEN IRAN…
warns Syria to hold free elections, you know that the Syrian government is in deep trouble. When a repressive government like Iran is worried about one of its only Allies in that region, it might be a case of its own fear about the future. Syria is about to crumble, and Iran is fearful that dreams for freedom may spread to its own people.
