‘President of United Earth’ Stacey Abrams Insults Georgia Sheriffs in TV Debate

Liberals in Hollywood decided that election denier Stacey Abrams (who lost to Brian Kemp by 55,000 votes in 2018) would be perfect for the role of “President of United Earth” in the Star Trek Discovery series, but without explaining exactly how she might obtain such a lofty position. Fortunately, politics in the real world is […]

Democrats and Media (But I Repeat Myself) Begin Midterm Pre-Mortems

After a few weeks of false hope — a late-summer poll bump that peaked in September and has now collapsed — Democrats and their media allies are beginning to come to grips with the fact that their congressional majority is going to get wiped out in next week’s midterm election. The bottom is dropping out […]

Red Wave Hits New Hampshire?

This would almost certainly flip the Senate to GOP control: New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Gen. Don Bolduc has taken the lead for the first time over Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) in New Hampshire’s Senate race, a Tuesday Saint Anselm poll revealed. Forty-eight percent of voters selected Gen. Bolduc, while Hassan only garnered 47 […]

Why Democrats Can’t Take the ‘L’

When your Senate candidate suffers a debilitating stroke, to such an extent that he can’t communicate coherently, what do you do? Well, if you’re Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself), you pretend that this devastating setback isn’t really devastating, that somehow Pennsylvania voters won’t notice, or won’t care, that John Fetterman is like […]

Denial Is Not a Strategy

“I dismiss that,” Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday on MSNBC, when Andrea Mitchell asked about polls showing “rising inflation concerns along with crime, giving . . . new momentum to Republicans”: PELOSI: First of all, let me say that I think much of what you have said I don’t agree with. That is to say, the […]

More Signs of a Midterm ‘Red Wave’?

Ann Althouse captures Frank Bruni of the New York Times worrying that Joe Biden’s unpopularity may sink Raphael Warnock’s Senate reelection bid in Georgia. (Hat-tip: Instapundit.) The other big problem for Warnock is that the Democratic candidate for governor is Stacey Abrams, who is losing very badly to Gov. Brian Kemp. Bruni is apparently trying […]

Ohio Voters Are Not Stupid, the Polls Are Mostly Bulls**t and Tim Ryan Is Losing

There was a debate Monday in the Ohio Senate race, which isn’t really a race, because Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan is going to lose, badly. The only suspense is the exact size of J.D. Vance’s winning margin. Let’s be clear about one basic fact: Ohio is a Republican state. There was a time, as recently […]

Media Shocked: Stacey Abrams Is Unpopular With Black Men

Of course, by “unpopular” they mean she only gets 75% — Democrats normally get more than 90% of the black vote, but the gap-toothed water buffalo is struggling significantly below that level: In 2018, Abrams came within 55,000 votes of defeating Republican Brian Kemp thanks to a surge of votes from Black Georgians. She energized […]
