Are You a ‘Nate Silver Truther’?

I am, according to some worthless putz named Joshua Holland writing at the left-wing site AlterNet. Holland also: Calls me “a notably dense right-wing blogger”; and Misspells my name (there is no “e” in Stacy). As to the substance of the dispute, Holland’s article is entitled: Republicans Desperate to Spin Romney as the Front-Runner Are […]

Wasn’t Joe Biden The First ‘Bold, Forceful Decision’ For Obama?

He told host Glenn Beck that what […]

Is Virginia Still a Battleground?

Mixed signals about the state of the presidential campaign in Virginia.

Crazy Uncle Joe Biden Campaigns in Ohio, Apparently Thinks He’s in Iowa

All these darned Midwestern states look alike! During a campaign stop in Ohio on Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden forgot where he was.

Signs and Omens: Obama’s Fading Hope and the Graveyard Whistling Choir

Nate Silver continues to lead the Democrat Graveyard Whistling Choir, raising Obama to a 70.3% likelihood of victory based on . . . what? I dunno. I’m not an expert with a New York Times column or anything, much less a Magical Forecasting Model™ that can divine future events with the precise scientific exactitude of […]
