Finger Lickin' Life Long Golfer
He's pretty much been a non-factor in the discussion about the vote in Florida, nonetheless he's gearing up for hopeful wins in Georgia and Missouri... and cracking jokes today...

Ok robots that vacuum the floor is one thing, but ones that know how to morph themselves into whatever we want them to is... well... freaky.
Freaky cool!

 SOTU? So how would you grade the President's performance in his final State of the Union? MKH called it boring. Fred Barnes said it was not one of his most memorable. Both could possibly be true... But I will say this. For his final chance, for the challenges we face, and for the future of our nation, I think the President took a hard swing at those who oppose the most important agendas for the nation. He threatened three vetoes in the first few minutes. He identified earmark abuse and threw the line down in the sand. He decried the further use of any additional embryonic stem cells. And he documented for all that missed it - the proven success of the new strategy in Iraq. He hit the majority party hard on taxes and put firmly into the minds of all watching WHO delivered tax reductions, and who will be left holding the bag if the reductions aren't made permanent and in 2010 we all get a bill from the federal government that demands on average $1800 out of our pockets... And while the pundits all yawned through it... bottom line was the Frank Luntz focus group on FoxNews had only 5 people who supported Bush going into the evening, but nearly 100% of those in the room thought the speech was powerful. And the biggest home run - to END wasteful spending... Biggest home run for GOP voters? MAKING TAX RELIEF permanent! The SAME TAX CUTS THAT JOHN McCAIN opposed...

"Decisive Lead Amongst Conservatives!" According to the newest Rasmussen numbers Mitt Romney now leads the GOP race for the nomination - NATIONALLY, and is up 15 points amongst "conservatives." McCain leads amongst moderates - but most of the primary races here on out are closed races which will diminish moderate/independent turnout for the GOP race. Mitt's strategy, though it hit a sizable speed bumps in Iowa AND New Hampshire, is on the verge of complete fruition. The singularly important task ahead of him being - to win Florida. If McCain loses Florida, though he will be around to make more noise, he will be all but finished. It Mitt wins, he must still compete heavily on Tsunami Tuesday, but he will be in position to raise additional money to complete his war chest. Huckabee's loss in South Carolina appears to have been his ultimate undoing, which in all reality could be blamed easily enough on Thompson given the similarity in the exit poll responses from Thompson and Huckabee's supporters. Had Thompson not been in the race, Huckabee would have easily defeated McCain by a wide margin (perhaps 10%).
Now that McCain, who traditionally only wins "open" primaries, is faced with convincing the conservative base of the GOP primary voters that he isn't the wild, undisciplined, arrogant, half-crazed, tempest in a teapot he has been for the last eight years. But the track record is long.
And when you associate your name with more legislation (McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Lieberman) with your opponent's co-signature's than from your own party's there's bound to be backlash. Even in this election cycle it appears that while McCain says ONE THING about border security, the staffing of his campaign advisers tells a VERY different story. A good boxing of the ears in Florida and Senator Cranky can finally put the "running for president" demons to rest, and just focus on enjoying the remainder of his time in the Senate and with his wife and family...

For the few thousand who joined us today, Stephen and I wish to say thanks for the turnout, the phone calls, and those that have already weighed in. We covered three topics we believe that would be representative of an interesting, culturally relevant timing we would seek out for each show we will do. We had more than our share of tech gaffes, given the fact that we were trying to meld the "in-studio" experience into the "online" listening world of streaming radio. We still had a great time, and are planning to do it again on roughly 2/9/2008. We will post more in the immediate days to come. We'd also very much like to stay in contact with you... Please join us here: Join Stephen's MySpace here... Join Kevin's MySpace here... Join Kevin's facebook here... Sign up for an e-blast notifying you in advance of our next shows... Buy Stephen's book... Buy Kevin's book... Visit the MuscleHeadRevolution for frequent updates...
For those who missed it - and remember its just raw audio at this point - you can take a listen here... Stephen and I would both enjoy hearing what you think, e-mail us here.

~ test run ~
Some of you have asked about the progress that has been made towards the radio compilation project of the Baldwin/McCullough radio experience. We are ecstatic to report that there are some developments unfolding - most of which we can not mention at this time. Major networks are sitting down with us, and everyone we've spoken with so far has exclaimed that the concept behind the show, "is the freshest thing to come down the pike in a very long time!" We are passionate about talking to 19-34 year olds about the stuff that life is shoveling their way in this day and age. We come from a certain viewpoint and Stephen's background is pronouncedly different than Kevin's but our goal is one and the same. We want to apply the knowledge, experience, and life we've lived to discuss the very real challenges that come knocking on your doorstep today.
Along these lines Stephen Baldwin and Kevin McCullough are in need of your help coming this afternoon. At roughly 3pm EST we are sitting down to cut a pilot show. This will be a closed circuit, controlled environment broadcast that will not be aired on regular radio in any form. But via the blogosphere we are asking you to participate in the broadcast by listening in online and being willing to phone in. You may join us by listening here, at 3pm EST. Call us by dialing 347.205.9765. We would also like to ask a small favor. Would you be willing to forward this notice to everyone in your facebook, bulletin it to everyone on your MySpace friend's list. Tell every friend you have how to listen, and urge them to join us at 3pm right here. We will keep you posted on what develops from the pilot that we cut. But please know for now that we could not be doing this without knowing how much it means to have your partnership in this little venture. For any follow-up questions please direct them to us by e-mailing us here.

 slimy, race-baiting, pro-amnesty, McCain adviser: Juan Hernandez Old Senator McCain nearly pulled it off. He nearly had GOP voters thinking that he gave more than a rat's backside about the security of our borders. He nearly had once again morphed his angry, goof-ball demeanor into a lovable fuzz-ball just waiting for us to give him the chance to take the reigns of the nation. Sadly with the presence of the openly hostile Dr. Juan Hernandez on his campaign, McCain's hope for the presidency should be discarded rather quickly. I've watched thousands of hours of television punditry over the last 10 years, and video-taped or tivo'd/DVR'd thousands more. Never in the course of human events has there been a more open, race-baiting, dual-citizened, regionalist, "hate America" spokesman to speak against the cause of America's border security than Dr. Juan. Bryan Preston captured some of the more disturbing elements, (though just the tip of the iceberg) of what Dr. Juan has advocated for in recent months. But the revelation that this man serves on McCain's staff demonstrates but one thing: John McCain solicits the advice of pro-amnesty Mexicans, as opposed to pro-U.S. border-security American citizens. With McCain's repeated intolerance of being labeled "pro-amnesty" flaring up recently, it becomes increasingly clear that while he may have tried to shed the label, he still very much runs with those, in fact listens to the advice of those, who want to see our border be overrun - not secured. Hernandez is the poster child for the problems of allowing "dual citizenship," and to think that McCain has had him part of his campaign since November tells us all we need to know... and when it comes to voting for a GOP candidate who is serious about border security - He ain't the guy!

Workin' it... Rasmussen Reports, which for me is the pound for pound most accurate polling done today, has Mitt Romney back out in front of McCain by nearly the complete margin of error. But for the time being forget the actual polling numbers and consider the little tidbit towards the end of the report concerning the "markets" leanings. In a very savvy move Rasmussen allows a free market approach to the prediction process and that "markets" are indicating a 56% chance of a Romney victory as opposed to the 42% chance McCain has at present. That number for McCain is deflated from nearly 70% immediately following the win in South Carolina.
Surprisingly - in this do or die for Rudy Giuliani - he's given only a 7% chance.

RIP at 28
As I was driving from Washington back to New York tonight, the latest top headline was all that FoxNews (XM Satellite feed) was talking about. Details are still emerging. One myth cleared up: Heath was NOT found in Mary Kate Olson's apartment. The autopsy will tell more tomorrow - but it is NOT conclusive that it was suicide. On tomorrow's show we will of course update the latest news info on the case, but the entire scenario caused me to think deeply tonight.
If Heath was my brother, cousin, best friend... how would I respond? And what should his daughter's mother do to attempt to help explain Heath's death to his little one. I've never known someone who committed suicide, so the idea of this happening to someone I would know personally would scare the yikes out of me. So let's talk about it - tomorrow at 2pm EST.

Huddled into the Family Research Council conference room with a group of energized activists pre-8:00am. Should be fun. Up first will be Barbara Curtis, Jill Stanek, and Dawn Eden...We are broadcasting LIVE via the video webstream here! The rest of the schedule. GREAT new resource: AbortionChangesYou! UPDATE: 9:41am... Senator Sam Brownback: "Today's event is consistently one of the most under-reported events in DC annually." "Today's crowds will be in the hundreds of thousands, and virtually ignored by the media." "75-90% of those in attendance today will be under the age of 25, the demographic is changing, and the debate is changing..." "Who the enemy is... The enemy is NOT the pro-choice activist, or those who have had an abortion, the enemy is death, despair, and fear. We are fighting for life, hope, and joy in the future..." "It's not about declaring this person bad or that persona bad..." "It's a fight I DEEPLY believe we are going to win." "Last year we defeated Congressional moves for expansion in this area. And we had ENORMOUS wins on the scientific front of the issue. Stem cell fight is not over - but we are at the beginning of the end of that fight." "The next fight will be human/animals crosses, and making it a genetic 'pass-on' to future generations... it is the next phase of the wave that we are at..." "Our nominee will be a pro-life nominee, and the next President will be a pro-life president..." ***Did he just eliminate his support for Giuliani?*** Q&A - "Will the next President eliminate the funding for Planned Parenthood? It would be my hope that he would... health circumstances, and statutory rape cases need to at least be investigated. But we are FAR aways from the votes in the Congress to cut off that funding..." "Direct Response Activism? All in favor of it..." We WILL be broadcasting the show this afternoon from the March For Life blog HQ which will be stock full of both pro-life AND pro-choice leading blog voices. Some of that debate will be captured this afternoon LIVE with your phone calls welcomed at 2pm EST.
