The Other McCain

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

Polls, Robocalls, Snow, and Other Distractions in Massachusetts

FITCHBURG, Mass. This afternoon, I was on the Ken Pittman show on WBSM in New Bedford and Fairhaven and the subject of the Tea Party movement came up. There can be no doubt that Tea Party activists — “far right teabaggers,” as Chuck Schumer calls them — are making a difference in Massachusetts. Think about that Vietnam veteran […]

Massachusetts Senate: When the Going Gets Weird, the Weird Vote Brown

FITCHBURG, Mass. — Red Mass Group, Gateway Pundit and Legal Insurrection now pick up on the SEIU “Purple for Brown” phenomenon I spotted last night in Worcester. Weasel Zippers has MSNBC’s Ed Schultz boasting he’d cheat to elect Martha Coakley. Meanwhile, I’m updating for The American Spectator: Seeing the Senate campaign from ground level is […]

Are Democrats Planning to Steal the Massacusetts Election for Coakley?

Only if they have to, but at last night’s Coakley rally, Da Tech Guy overheard some union official assure a Democrat, “Don’t worry, the cavalry’s coming.”  Was that perhaps a reference to the SEIU “Purple Army” that Michelle Malkin is warning about? Scott Brown has consistently said he hopes for a fair election. “I have faith […]

Just Bought My Ticket to Boston

An eight-hour train ride on two hours sleep? Yeah, I can do that, for a “far-right teabagger”: Martha Coakley is running to fill the rest of Ted Kennedy’s term, and her opponent is a far-right tea-bagger Republican. . . . The special election is coming up on Tuesday, and it’s going to be close. Read Vicki’s […]

Kos Spins Mass. Senate Campaign: ‘Teabaggers’ Doom Scott Brown?

Jumping in Pools gives this spin a thorough fisking, but here’s just a taste of Kos in whistle-past-the-graveyard mode: Brown has been caught in a vice. His support from teabaggers was critical to becoming competitive . . . On the other hand, that conservative support has come at a cost. . . . The teabaggers demand ideological purity, and he’s […]

Good News, Bad News

Guy goes to see a psychiatrist and says, “Doctor, you’ve got to help me. I think I’m losing my mind. I’m consumed with jealous rage. I’ve got this insane paranoid fear that my wife is cheating on me.” Doctor says, “Well, the good news is, you’re not crazy . . .” Which is to say, […]

Allen West on Harry Reid: A Black Republican on ‘Negro Talk’

The war-hero Florida congressional candidate speaks out: The revelation of Senator Harry Reid’s comments referencing “negro talk” is just indicative of the true sentiment elitist liberals, and indeed the Democratic party, have toward black Americans. . . . One can only imagine the insanity and media outrage if Reid’s quote had come from a member […]
