Working the Refs: Axelrod Attacks Gallup; Romney Slams Pro-Obama Media Bias

Joel Gehrke at the Washington Examiner reports: “Gallup is saddled with some methodological problems,” [Obama adviser David] Axelrod tweeted today. He also directed Twitterati to a National Journal piece arguing that Gallup polls showing Romney in the lead “has a sample that looks much more like the electorate in 2010 than the voting population that […]

Romney Booster Jen Rubin Getting Worried About ‘Mormon Mitt’ Meme?

Resisting the urge to call this “Ain’t I Done Told Ya So? Part IV,” we find Rubin horribly flustered that McKay Coppins wrote this: Ann Romney was already fully immersed in stay-at-home motherhood — raising five sons, ages six to 16, in her Belmont home — when Mormon prophet Ezra Taft Benson took to a […]

Boortz Blames ‘Rabid Shrew’ Tea Party Mom for Bob Beckel’s F-Bomb Eruption UPDATE: Boortz Says ‘I Was Wrong’

If you are familiar with the Tea Party movement, you almost certainly know that Jennifer Stefano of AFP Pennsylvania is one of the movement’s most feisty, outspoken leaders. Last night on Hannity, veteran Democratic Party operative Bob Beckel blew up at Stefano and shouted — live, on the air — “You don’t know what the f–k you’re […]

Narrative Arc: Second-Guessing Palin, Santorum’s Story and Romney’s Doom

Sarah Palin speaks in Manchester, N.H., Sept. 5, 2011 Yesterday, Ross Douthat engaged in a “counterfactual” what-if about the 2012 primary campaign: Could Sarah Palin have won? Speculation unmoored from actual facts is one of those games intellectuals love to play. It’s light work for brainy people to imagine what might have been in an […]

Liz Benjamin: ‘Generally Snarky’

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo evidently assigned his communication director Richard Bamberger to compile a 35-page dossier on the work of YNN reporter/blogger Liz Benjamin: The file, composed of highlighted and annotated blog items by Elizabeth Benjamin, one of Albany’s dominant political reporters, paints a picture of an executive branch that’s particularly averse to hints […]

‘International Solidarity Movement’ Protester Is Welcomed in Israel

And by “welcomed,” I mean busted in his punk face with a rifle butt. It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the International Solidarity Movement, an alliance of Western leftists supporting Palestinian “armed resistance” against Israel. And my opinion of ISM is evidently shared by at least one member of the Israel military: Denmark […]

Further Omens of Impending Doom

It’s Romney 47%, Obama 45% in the first Gallup Daily Tracking Poll of the 2012 general election campaign, and I’m sure everybody’s happy at this apparent falsification of the claim that a bitterly contested fight for the nomination was bad for GOP prospects. Having foresworn any actual optimism, however, I regard this as a false […]

Ain’t I Done Told Ya So? (Part III)

We are shocked — shocked! — to discover liberals in the media hinting at future coverage about Mitt’s Mormonism: Panelist Jon Meacham asked whether any of the focus on Romney’s “secrecy” may have something to do with his faith, Mormonism, a religion shrouded in mystery for many non-Mormons. “Is this code for the secrecy of […]
