Calling B.S. on Ed Rollins

Dan Calabrese has had it up to here with the anti-Palin crowd:  it seems that just about everyone else is obsessed with Palin’s presidential prospects, and that includes a certain Ed Rollins, who holds forth today on CNN.com with a piece titled, “Palin, I knew Reagan. You’re no Reagan.” Well. There is much to mock […]

Missouri Senate 2012: Club for Growth Backing Sarah Steelman Over Jim Talent?

Philip Klein at The American Spectator reports on a contested GOP primary that may be developing: Yesterday, Sarah Steelman, a former state treasurer and state senator, has announced plans to challenge McCaskill, setting the stage for what could be a hard fought primary.

Alabama Democrats to Barack Obama: ‘Hey, Thanks for Killing Our Party!’

Alabama’s leading political columnist summarizes the near-total destruction: Both our U.S. Senators are Republicans and after November we only have one Democrat in our seven member congressional delegation. . . .

Given the extraordinarily good news on the House side, with the GOP gaining 63 […]

Guess Who’s Having a Party?

Ann Marie Buerkle, that’s who. You will recall that, when Pete Da Tech Guy and I visited NY-25 in mid-October, a new poll showed the Republican challenger trailing Democratic incumbent Rep. Dan Maffei by 13 points. I ended my Oct. 18 American Spectator column with a quote from Buerkle’s speech to her supporters in the village of Clyde, N.Y., telling them what […]

‘The Weekly Sarah Palin Segment . . .’

“. . . in which the impression is given that the whole of conservatism is encapsulated in this one glorious woman.” Instead, he would perhaps have us believe, the whole of conservatism is encapsulated in Charles Krauthammer’s brain. It is not Krauthammer’s fault that the media are obsessed with presidential politics. It is not Krauthammer’s […]

‘Year of the Pro-Life Woman’

Press release: Today, the Susan B. Anthony List celebrated the election of the eighth pro-life woman U.S. Representative in the 112th Congress and a major upset in Ann Marie Buerkle’s defeat of pro-abortion incumbent Dan Maffei. “Ann Marie Buerkle’s win is historic for women, the unborn and New York’s 25th Congressional District,” SBA List President […]
