On the Road Again

My wife has packed my bag, I’ve rented a car ($75 a day) and am now about to leave for Virginia’s 9th District, where Morgan Griffith is just one point ahead of Democrat Rick Boucher. After VA-9? Well, I don’t know how far I’ll go. Depends on time and money. Please hit the tip jar, and […]

California Screaming

My friend Stogie at Saberpoint is, alas, a victim of Californication: The buzz is that California will be a hold out in this next Republican revolution — they will proudly and stubbornly be wrong once again.  While Californians struggle with 22% unemployment, free soup kitchens and food banks, they will nevertheless vote for the party […]

The Evidently Obligatory ‘How Many House Seats Will the GOP Win?’ Post

Conservative friends familiar with California have praise for Fiorina. Whitman . . . eh, not so much. Just as I hate to think a mere poll conclusively proves […]

Six Days Left in Stomping Season

Manhattan and Georgetown are both a long way from Kentucky, but folks at MSNBC evidently hear hobnailed boots goose-stepping through the streets of Lexington, as the Dark Night of Fascism descends. If recent polls have any predictive utility, by midnight Nov. 2, I expect Chris Matthews to be weeping hysterically over the defeat of Alan Grayson. Keith Olbermann “Special […]

Why Vote Republican?

If Marco Rubio doesn’t close the deal for you here, I don’t know what more anyone could possibly say:
