Two Words: ‘Bench Strength’
Many conservatives were disappointed when Paul Ryan declined to run for president in 2012, and many conservatives — among them Joy McCann at The Conservatory — have raved almost deliriously about Marco Rubio’s speech at the Reagan Library: I’ve been supporting Marco Rubio, of course, since before I knew who Marco Rubio was.

Obama’s Erstwhile Allies: Left-Wingers Attack Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller
In February 2007, Iowa’s longtime Democratic attorney general Tom Miller endorsed Barack Obama, giving him an early boost in that key caucus state. Fast-forward to October 2010. The “robo-signer” scandal had brought into question the legal validity of tens of thousands mortgages involved in foreclosure proceedings. Miller was announced to head up the Mortgage Foreclosure […]

It’s said that Baldwin is eyeing a run for Mayor of New York, but he seems far more likely to end […]
Virginia Feud: Radtke vs. Red State UPDATE: Palin/Perry ‘Proxy War’?
My co-blogger Smitty is a Virginian who first blogged here about Jamie Radtke, the Tea Party candidate in next year’s Republican primary to replace retiring one-term Democrat Sen. Jim Webb.
