Ann Coulter's Romney-promoting long ago went far beyond Romney promoting, into cheap shots against the Tea Party movement and just about anyone who was not on Team Romney. Much like the caustic Jennifer Rubin, insulting the people Romney will need to unite behind him seems to be...
The Breitbart video of Barack Obama embracing Prof. Derrick Bell, one of the founders of critical race theory, has been dismissed as a dud and failure. But the dialogue about how that narrative fits into Obama's campaign tactics -- something I explored on Day 2 of this blog...
A former editor in chief of Ms. Magazine observed in October 2008: It's difficult not to froth when one reads, as I did again and again this week, doubts about Sarah Palin's “intelligence,” coming especially from women such as PBS's Bonnie Erbe, who, as near as I...
Mitt won the Maine caucuses, Mitt won the Maine caucuses! 39-36 over Ron Paul, with about 5000 people voting! Not for Mitt, in total. He also won the CPAC straw poll. Just like Michele Bachmann won the straw poll in Iowa. And Herman Cain in Florida. ...
It's not looking good in Florida. The polls show Romney surging as a result of the Romney plan exposed by The NY Times to overwhelm Newt via Romney's close ties to Drudge and a collective effort of the Republican establishment to go after Newt in what The...
If you asked me even a couple of weeks ago whether the Republican Party could heal from the wounds of this election cycle in time to unite against Obama, I would have said "Yes." I'm not so sure anymore. After the South Carolina primary the Republican establishment, and...
Wow. Sarah Palin just launched a thousand points of fright at Team Romney and the Republican establishment who have been going after Newt's relationship with Ronald Reagan, via Facebook: We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and...
Sarah Palin on Hannity just stated that if she were in South Carolina she would vote for Newt to keep the election from being declared over if Romney wins. She emphasized that we need answers to questions, and can't risk October surprises. I'll get you the full...
in politics and elsewhere, here's some things: Be sure to check out the blog troll argument. I think I got someone's attention. Todd Palin endorses Newt. I think this helps with Tea Party groups in the south, probably not much in NH. Will Sarah endorse before South...
Today is the anniversary of the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of several others, including a federal judge and a young girl, by Jared Loughner. The victims appropriately will be remembered. Further investigation revealed that Loughner lived in a non-political paranoid delusional world, and to the extent...
What goes around comes around. Michele Bachmann hired Ed Rollins as campaign manager last spring and the first thing he did was trash Sarah Palin. Bachmann let the Rollins' comments hang out there for a while and then went on TV to say what good friends...
Some good advice which is being completely ignored already: "So we do need to make sure our candidate is vetted and ready to go, and I certainly at this point I would advise our candidates to remember to focus on the problems that Barack Obama has caused...
Thanks to reader Don who writes: I'm a big fan of your blog, and so I'm happy to contribute...
The ABC News interview with Gabrielle Giffords was worth watching except for one moment, when ABC decided that it could not put on a widely-watched full hour program without smearing Sarah Palin by trying to connect Palin's electoral map to the Giffords shooting (via Newsbusters): I...
Sarah Palin, Fire Eric Holder: And where is President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder in all of this? When did he first know about the operation? In his testimony to the House Oversight Committee on May 3, 2011, Holder stated, “I probably heard about Fast and...
Looking at all the non-Romney candidates last night, I kept thinking, "Miss her yet?" (Note: If someone could do the graphic, I'd love to post it.) Particularly after this question and answer: TUMULTY: Congressman Gingrich -- Speaker Gingrich, Medicare is going broke. Consider the fact that half of...
From Crawdad Hole written by frequent commenter myiq2xu: I guess the people like Andy Sullivan and his ilk are gonna be unhappy, because Sarah apparently has no intention of going away. I have to wonder what would have happened if they had just left her alone...
What is David Frum going to do now that Sarah Palin is not running? What linguistic stunts can he pull to drive traffic to his website? Who is he going to call a grifter and con artist in order to make himself feel relevant and edgy,...
