California GOP: Falling Down

“After LA lost the aerospace industry during the Clinton Administration, we lost a half million aerospace workers, voters and donors.” — former California GOP Chairman Shawn Steel That quote reminded me of the 1993 movie Falling Down starring Michael Douglas as a laid-off Los Angeles aerospace engineer trying to make sense of a world falling […]

Virginia: Jamie Radtke For U.S. Senate? George Allen Had Better Guard His Six

by Smitty Though only a Virginian for the past twelve years, it’s hard to avoid a passion for the country if you spend much time in the Commonwealth. Patriotic radiation coming from Mount Vernon, perhaps. It comes as no surprise, therefore, to see someone like Jamie Radtke appear on the scene and command attention. Waking […]

Note To Tim Pawlenty: Ladd Ehlinger

by Smitty SOL/Puffington Host reports that Governor Pawlenty has retained some Canuck named Baiano to improve the cut of his jib: Lucas Baiano, a 23-year-old former Hillary Clinton supporter, is Canadian-born and dresses in perfectly-starched white shirts, slim-fitting sports jackets and tight designer jeans.

Media Decides to Be the Decider

Former Oakland County Democratic Chair Mike McGuinness and former Democratic Operations Director Jason Bauer […]

Define ‘Hate Group’

Also, define “secretly funneled,” because I’m having a little trouble with Josh Dorner’s Think Progress headline: Newt Gingrich Secretly Funneled $350,000 To Anti-Gay Hate Groups Last Year Except, of course, that there wasn’t anything “secret” about the “funneling”: It was duly reported as required by law and, as Think Progress itself notes, Gingrich was outspoken […]

Anyone Else Shocked That One Election Didn’t Magically Fix Everything?

by Smitty Insty links the Examiner about the Dems being Muhammed Ali, letting the GOP wear themselves out before delivering a knockout. I don’t think the analogy has much going for it. The Progressive position itself looks more like this old Harry Reid pose behind Rep. Sonny Bono (R-IP) The 2010 election has been called […]

Judd Gregg Succumbs to Palinphobia

In a column for The Hill, the former New Hampshire senator surveys the 2012 GOP presidential primary field and confronts his dread fear that You-Know-Who might win the nomination: Because the nominating process has become so dominated by primary elections, with the vast majority of the delegates chosen by direct vote, it is entirely possible […]
