November e-zine: Of Tea, Taxes and Truman: How the 2010 election sets up 2012
By JR Hoeft | Friday, November 19th, 2010 | Magazine
The past couple weeks pundits and politicians have tried to explain “what happened” with this past election.
I have my own opinions, and you can read my op-ed about how Virginia led the change, but I think what is more interesting is how those most affected are reacting.
First and foremost, let’s start with the administration and the big guy himself.
The “new normal” Truman?

Allen West: America’s next black president?
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100065525/allen-west-americas-next-black-president/
On Thanksgiving, here’s a guy for whom all red-blooded Americans should be truly grateful. Allen West might just be the black president to save the US in 2012 from the ruins created by the previous one.
Even more so than Marco Rubio, he strikes me as the dream candidate for the GOP ticket in 2012. Obviously his skin colour is going to do him no harm, given what we saw of minority voting patterns in the last US presidential election. Nor is the fact that he has been endorsed by kingmaker Sarah Palin. But even without either of those advantages, he’d still be a mightily strong contender – as I think you’ll gather when you watch the video.
What I like about West is that he tells it like it is. He doesn’t wriggle or squirm or duck – he’s a man of clear principles. And they’re the right principles, too. Though he believes in low taxes and small government, for example, he’s not prepared to pussyfoot around as regards US security.
