As former Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas) prepares to launch his second presidential campaign, the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) could very well be a do-or-die moment for him, as he seeks to reconnect with grassroots conservatives who are concerned he is out-of-step with their views on issues like immigration and border security.

It’s suddenly obligatory for every Republican 2016 presidential hopeful to weigh in on vaccines and prepare for a grilling from the media if they voice anything less than enthusiastic support.

Sarah Palin is using the big sports story of the day to profess herself less than amazed by the Republican leadership. “It’s not just the New England Patriots who are dealing with deflated balls right now,” she said. Let’s hope the Republican Party figures that out before they try taking the 2016 field with a deflated-ball squad that isn’t convinced it has any business in the Democrat end zone.
