Can You Say ‘Mandate’?
Sam Foster at American Thinker does the math on the 242-seat GOP House majority and his colleague Bill Zwerger adds about the NY-25 race: The vindication for the NY Tea Party comes from the fact that Mr. Maffei was a true-blue, Obama supporting, Pelosi controlled liberal, who showed a great deal of disdain to any constituents […]
Democrats in Disarray
One of the best things about stomping Democrats is to watch their predictably laughable reactions when they lose. Howie Klein at Down With Tyranny has devoted enormous effort to compiling a sort of conspiracy theory: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is CORRUPT! Because they’re hiring CONSULTANTS! And for all we know, he’s right. But let’s […]
If You Ever Feel Discouraged . . .
. . . think about Ann Marie Buerkle’s victory in NY-25. She is now six weeks away from being a member of Congress, but what about six weeks ago? It was Sunday, Oct. 17, and Pete Da Tech Guy and I were driving on our way to cover the Buerkle campaign, when I got a call from […]
DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen: 2010 ‘Could Have Been Worse’ for Democrats
Talk about not getting it, this douchebag still wants to play class-warfare on taxes: Van Hollen said that Democrats – who maintain control of the House through the end of the year, including during the lame-duck session where the expiring tax cuts will be considered – continue to back the president’s commitment to allow tax cuts for […]
NY-25: Maffei Concedes, Buerkle Wins
Got the good news via the Lonely Conservative, who got it from Robert Harding’s Tweet. With last night’s concession in TX-27, Buerkle’s win puts the incoming GOP House majority at 242 seats. A 4 p.m. press conference is scheduled. UPDATE: Auburn (N.Y.) Citizen: Maffei issued a statement this afternoon thanking the residents of the 25th […]
WaPo Makes an Excellent Decision: Jennifer Rubin Hired as Blogger
This is very encouraging news indeed, and I think all leading conservatives will share the view expressed by Ed Driscoll: “The WaPo Finally Gets One Right.” My favorite piece by Jennifer Rubin was a column she wrote for Pajamas Media in February 2009. You will recall that, at that time, many Republicans were still talking […]
Strategy Lesson: State Parties Matter
For the benefit of Alex Pareene — who strangely seems to believe that campaigns are of secondary importance to who wins elections — let me unravel a bit of strategy. When I visited Massachusetts in early October, there was clearly a grassroots “enthusiasm gap” favoring Republicans. Da Tech Guy kept saying he had that Scott Brown […]
Flashback: Charlie Sheen Called Ex-Wife Denise Richards ‘F***ing N****r’
One of the strangest things about porn star Capri Anderson’s account of Charlie Sheen’s hotel-room meltdown was her assertion that Sheen “started yelling racial slurs.” Anderson (a/k/a Christina Walsh) is Irish-American, so what “slurs” was Sheen shouting? Mick? Evidently, however, Sheen has a habit of shouting the n-word at women when he’s angry, as was the case […]
