VA-9: On the Campaign Trail With Republican Challenger Morgan Griffith

ABINGDON, Va. — As I pointed out Friday in my American Spectator column, the 9th District of Virginia went 58% for John McCain two years ago and you might think it would be easy for a Republican to defeat a Democrat incumbent here — especially when the Democrat voted for the cap-and-trade bill that would […]

‘Stomp Her Again, Tim!’

That seems to be the majority sentiment in Kentucky, where the first poll conducted after the notorious head-stomping incident shows Republican Rand Paul now with a 12-point lead, 53-41.
