The Invisible Primary: Once More, Unto the Breach Dear Friends
http://invisibleprimary.blogspot.com/2015/05/once-more-unto-breach-dear-friends.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. Once More, Unto the Breach Dear Friends. In the aftermath of the 2012 election, where GOP big shots from Karl Rove down to Mitt Romney sat stunned because they believed that the election was in the bag (and should have been in the bag), the GOP began a round of soul searching, as well as finger pointing (who can forget Mitt's double down comments crediting Obama's re-election to " gifts. To a variety of parasitical citizens)? In addition to the large quantity of debates, there was...

The Invisible Primary: February 2014
http://invisibleprimary.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 13, 2014. If the title lured you to read this in the hopes of something saucy I apologize. I couldn't resist trying to sex it up because we are snowed in here in Pennsylvania and I'm bored. I'll try to add something salacious to the always hot topic of the Invisible Primary. but even I may not be that talented. The "Bush," I reference, of course, would be Jeb. Son of 41, brother of 43, and if the chattering class has anything to say about it. Gave some big platform speeches. Anyway, it...

Thursday, March 5, 2015. 50 Shades of CPAC. 50 Shades of CPAC. In an attempt to hit the ground running, I’d thought I’d elaborate a bit upon John Sides’ take on this go around of the annual CPAC conference. In perhaps what is the best commentary I’ve seen on the event yet, @monkeycageblog tweeted out this gem:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Miami University of Ohio. South Dakota State University.

The Invisible Primary: Zombie Myths: Invisible Primary Edition
http://invisibleprimary.blogspot.com/2015/04/zombie-myths-invisible-primary-edition.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. Zombie Myths: Invisible Primary Edition. Recently in the political science blogosphere there's been a venting on some of the enduring "zombie" myths. Despite the good work of several political scientists outreach towards journalists, and a warm reception to that outreach by many reporters, some of these myths just tend to stick around, the self-hair pulling and head bashing. Of the academy notwithstanding. Though I missed the tweet that started the avalanche. Is spot on in his ass...

The Invisible Primary: Invisible Primary Ala Turca, Part Two
http://invisibleprimary.blogspot.com/2014/06/invisible-primary-ala-turca-part-two.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Invisible Primary Ala Turca, Part Two. The invisible primary here in Turkey has taken a decisive turn in the last 24 hours. On Tuesday it was announced in a joint press conference. Apparently caused a blackout disrupting the counting of ballots, the CHP lost by a slim margin. But still, the Ankara mayoral election gave both parties a glimmer of hope, yet showed just how touchy this triangulation on consensus candidates between these two parties can be. Compounding this paradox is ...

The Invisible Primary: May 2014
http://invisibleprimary.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. Invisible Primary Ala Turca. Once again I am exercising my power as this blog’s macdaddy to go off topic and discuss some pressing matters in Turkish politics. To say that Turkish politics is going through an interesting time is clearly an understatement. The most charitable characterization of the care in which these changes have taken would be reckless abandon. But we need to back up for one moment to contextualize the changes in post-1980 environment. Generally, the high numbers ...

The Invisible Primary: November 2013
http://invisibleprimary.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 5, 2013. Invisible Primary: “Double Down” Edition. The best part of a political campaign is the after-action review that comes when some enterprising journos grab DC insiders by the lapels and convince them to talk about all the crap that went down on the trail. Convincing politicos to talk is not as difficult as it seems, since most people in DC will yak endlessly about themselves prompted only by the word: “Hi.”. I know what you’re thinking: Of course. I haven’t read it. No ...Like th...
