With the Republican primaries heating up, Professor Hugh Hewitt’s article, “Why the GOP primaries didn’t matter in 1952, 1980 and 2012” comes along at a perfect time. Professor Hewitt’s article recalls the political climates of past elections and compares them to the primary of today. He says, “When Truman was forced from office, just as LBJ was, and when Carter and George H.W. Bush were denied second terms, the elections were about the overwhelming sense that the country needed a U-turn.” Based on his analysis, Professor Hewitt predicts, “Mitt Romney will beat Barack Obama [. . .].” Find out why.
