Col. Patrick Murray, VA-8 Hopeful, On Strategy Room This Morning

by Smitty I’m waiting for Stacy to call in a field report from PA-12, from which we expect good news this evening. To tide you over, here is Col. Patrick Murray, one of two Republican hopefuls in the 08June primary, the other being Matthew Berry. Both are rock-solid candidates. One wishes the two resumes could […]

CWCID For NYT From AllahPundit?

by Smitty The NYT engaged in respectable journalism and hammered Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut AG, for attempting to assing himself off as having served in Vietnam.

Is It OK For Virginia To Be Represented By Men Who Went To Work Dressed Like This?

Allahpundit Now Seriously Considering Endorsement of J.D. Hayworth?

Just A Conservative Girl has the summary: Senator Bob Bennett, 76, was given his walking papers today from […]

With an eye toward November […]

Fred Thompson Notices The Dots

by Smitty Fred Thompson notices that health care policy, Wall Street policy, immigration policy, and energy policy all seem to have substantial events happening kind of close.
