Ted Cruz! Ted Cruz! Ted Cruz!

by Smitty We’ll just mooch Erick Erickson’s quick summary of the Texas situation: David Dewhurst and Ted Cruz are in a runoff in Texas. Cruz has long odds in the runoff, given the margin of Dewhurst’s victory. But it is very doable. Conservatives across the country, however, must unite today. This race must be a […]

How Did Fausta Miss That Joke?

Creative Ideas About Media Bias

There are few things more boring than listening to conservatives complain about liberal bias in the media.

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign strategy could be summarized in four words: “It’s Obama’s Economy, Stupid.” Romney and his aides have made clear that they regard every other issue as a distraction from what polls — as well as common sense — indicate as the main concern of American voters: Jobs, the economy and the explosion […]
