Another diverse group of winners and losers this week. Some bad guys did well this week. Some good guys didn’t. But intentions and history don’t matter here at Camp Campaign’s Winners and Losers. It’s all about what you did, didn’t do, or had done to you in the past seven days.
WINNERS:
Kamal el-Ganzouri –
The 78 year old former Egyptian prime minister is the nation’s new prime minister. Good news for el-Ganzouri, not so good for the millions of Egyptians who thought that their massive protests would bring about real and lasting change. Somehow I don’t think an 18-year veteran of
Three Big Spending Cuts
by T Akery November 29th, 2011 
Congress, Political Opinions
At the end of this year, three big spending bills are due to expire. One will raise taxes. One will cut doctor's payments. One will end unemployment benefits for a significant number of unemployed. None of these issues has yet been addressed by Congress. Yet on January 1st, these three things will automatically happen without action by Congress.
The first big one which will raise taxes is the payroll tax cut. While it isn't technically a spending cut, it will raise taxes. Keeping the payroll tax cut actually has some bipartisan agreement. The problem is not extending the cuts but

Happy Thanksgiving, folks! I hope the Black Friday black eyes aren’t too sore….
Now: Anyone who claims that Ron Paul is being “suppressed” in these debates (you know who you are…) should not be able to say that with a straight face, here. Roughly 1/3 of this debate focused on agreeing or disagreeing with his stances on foreign policy.
Okay. From Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C.: CNN’s Wolf Blitzer moderating, the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute hosting. Let’s rock:
Newt Gingrich: The current front-runner began with a superb distinction between criminal law and war against terrorism. Newt also discussed how one

The Doctor
This past Sunday, everyone's favorite Libertarian in Republican's clothing, Ron Paul, was on Face the Nation in an interview with Bob Schieffer. Ron talked about foreign policy, the economy, and bringing our troops home. It was good to see him finally getting some airtime after polling at a grand rate for months now.
So CBS gives Uncle Ron some airtime, and it's with a man who either doesn't know how to do a proper interview, or has a personal vendetta against Dr. Paul which causes him to twist Paul's words at every opportunity. This is the kind

Newt Ascendant
by Ronald A. Rowe November 23rd, 2011 Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Political commentary on the web is so segregated. You’ve got the Conservatives who will bash anything Occupy Wall Street or President Obama does without critical analysis. You’ve got the Liberals who are going to despise the Tea Party and Rush Limbaugh regardless of merit. Isn’t it nice to find one place on the Internet where everybody gets mocked, regardless of political stripe? Welcome to the Winners and Losers for the week ending November 20, 2011.
WINNERS:
Newt Gingrich –
With Herman Cain falling out of favor due to the mounting accusations against him, Newt Gingrich (pictured) gets a nice bounce with
