Rick Perry Dissed by ‘Most Influential Blog in the Conservative Movement’

If I were Rick Perry’s campaign manager, I think I’d be worried by the sound of that rumbling engine and the smell of diesel fumes: “My problem with Perry is pretty straight forward. I’ve been muttering to myself since that third debate, ‘My God. This guy is undefeated?’ “ — Erick Erickson, “I Hate You” Wasn’t […]

When It Rains, It Pours

Herman Cain Set to Win S.C. Debate — headline, Wednesday, May 4 Things keep happening that nobody but me predicted, and predictions that were ignored when I made them are forgotten when they come true.

Looking Up From Here, It’s Barely Possible to See the Bottom of ‘Down’

BREAKING: South Carolina to hold primary on January 21 A friend sent me that on Twitter and then, via Memeorandum, I saw this: Nevada Republicans decided Saturday to move up the GOP presidential caucuses to January to preserve the state’s early voting spot, although it will cost the Silver State half its delegates at the national […]

Unlike Alex Pappas …
