Question the Timing (and Sample): Poll Shows Obama Leading in Swing States

You will remember that Democrats were panicking last month at the realization that Mitt Romney and the GOP outraised the DNC/Obama team in June, and that Obama’s unsustainable “burn rate” — pouring on a 2-to-1 ad blitz — had failed to move independent voters. Everything the Dems had done was being sabotaged by Obama’s tone-deaf “you didn’t […]

Hurrah for Texas! Ted Cruz Wins!

Erik Eckholm of the New York Times reports: Ted Cruz, an insurgent backed by the Tea Party, easily defeated the candidate favored by Gov.

… And the Pulitzer Prize for Recycling Second-Hand Rumors From HuffPo …

. . . goes to the Washington Post: Mind you the Washington Post isn’t citing an unnamed source that has talked to them, they are reporting that someone else (Harry Reid) claims that an unnamed source said something.

Tina Brown’s Bankrupt Magazine Newsweek Calls Mitt Romney a ‘Wimp’

Newsweek magazine lost $20 million last year, each weekly issue therefore representing an operating loss of $400,000. Two years ago, Sidney Harman bought the magazine (and its $50 million debt) for a token $1, and subsequently merged it with Tina Brown’s Daily Beast, which has spent the past four years losing $10 million annually in […]
