The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Democrats in Denial

Elephants never forget and neither does Vicki McClure Davidson, who reminds us of this Time magazine cover from 2009: It’s hilarious to read Michael Grunwald’s May 2009 analysis with the benefit of hindsight: “The [Republican] party’s ideas — about economic issues, social issues and just about everything else — are not popular ideas. They are extremely conservative […]

How Not to Deal With Rejection

George Will nails it here: It is amazing the ingenuity Democrats invest in concocting explanations of voter behavior that erase what voters always care about, and this year more than ever – ideas. This election was a nationwide recoil against Barack Obama’s idea of unlimited government. The more he denounced Republicans as the party of […]

Welcome to the Gloat Zone

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Got a few more hours sleep and now I’m beginning to emerge from the mind-fogged condition of extreme exhaustion that was the inevitable result of this long final road trip of the 2010 campaign. Now it’s time to get our gloat on. What about the idiots at MSNBC? For my money, […]

Miracle Comeback: Ann Marie Buerkle Now Has Slim Lead in NY-25

Oh, my goodness. This was a Republican candidate I covered during my road trip with Da Tech Guy, but I’d written off this district as lost last night. Incumbent Democrat Rep. Dan Maffei had already declared victory. But today Left Coast Rebel proclaimed the good news: Ann Marie Buerkle has come back to a 659-vote lead, thanks to late returns […]

Dear Ace: ‘A Choice, Not an Echo’

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — OK, after the last post, I promised I was going to go back to sleep, but somebody in the comments said that Ace of Spades was “bitching and moaning . . . that the tea party cost us DE et al.” Because I didn’t see the aforesaid bitching and moaning, I can’t address […]

My Apologies to the Optimists

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — When I left Boca Raton at 3 a.m., I’d hoped to make it to the vicinity of Orlando before finding a cheap motel to crash in. But I was so tired and brain-fogged, I only made it a few dozen miles up I-95 before I began to get that nodding-off feeling, so […]

What Liberals Never Learn

After winning in Kentucky last night, Rand Paul was talking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who dutifully repeated a Democrat talking point: “What if they just raised taxes on the richest, those making more than 250,000 dollars a year?” In answering the question, Paul invoked a basic argument against class warfare as an economic policy: We […]

VIDEO: Allen West Victory Speech

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Will be uploading these segments in stages, in no particular order. It was freaking awesome, is what it was. UPDATE: My plan for Election Night had been to end up at Marco Rubio’s victory bash down in Coral Gables. But I was a little late leaving Panama City in the morning and, […]
