New Logic

I've begun a new writing endeavor this month over at Carolina Politics Online. I am going to at least produce some new written material every Monday morning for CPO and hopefully blog some throughout the week as well. Let's face it, The Logic Connection hasn't produced anything close to a steady flow of new material in a long while. I'm hoping a new blog with a bigger audience will provide new motivation for me to keep pushing back against the frontiers of ignorace. I'll still be linking to my CPO articles here, but for the foreseeable future keep checking CPO to find new logic by yours truly.

Here is the link to last week's Monday Logic. It was an attempt to try and explain the feelings of so many I come across who are dissatisfied with Romney but aren't particularly enamored with the other Not-Romney candidates. I fear that if Romney receives the GOP nomination he'll simply repeat McCain's mistake from '08 and not fight hard enough against Obama to convince voters that we need a new president. Despite his many flaws, Gingrich would at least do his best to provide a clear contrast of visions at every opportunity throughout a campaign against Barack Obama, especially during the debates.

I will say this for Mitt, his New Hampshire victory speech last week was one of the best I've heard him deliver. He read off a teleprompter, but he was passionate, attacked Obama directly, and clearly laid out his vision for the country. The one cringeworthy line came when he claimed that his administration would rebuild our military and make it so strong that no one in the world would think about challenging America. My question, who is threatening to attack America right now? I just feel like that type of militarism isn't what his campaign needs to attract some of the so-called moderates. Most people I know are a little war weary at this point.
