LIVE from Orleans Parish!

NEW ORLEANS — Just arrived at the rental home just off Chartres Street where I’ll be staying for the next four days. The blogger bash starts in an hour and a half and I need to take a shower and get dressed.

Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity and . . .

. . . me!

Eve of the Showdown in Searchlight

LAS VEGAS — Just got back from Searchlight, where I reconnoitered the town and the rally site, about two miles north of Harry Reid’s hometown. A quick video report: One reason I wanted to make the trip Friday was to scope out the route. When Ali arrives at 7 a.m. Saturday, we’ll have to drive […]

Next Stop: Searchlight

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Just a quick note before I make the run to Searchlight with Steve Foley to check out the scene before tomorrow’s big Tea Party rally.
