Dear God, Not Huckabee, Please

At MSNBC, Chuck Todd is doing cartwheels in his Team Obama cheerleader skirt over a poll showing a spike in the president’s approval. What ought to have Republicans calling the suicide hotline is the poll’s numbers showing Mike Huckabee ahead of the GOP 2012 pack: Looking ahead to the 2012 presidential race, the NBC/WSJ poll […]

UPDATE XV: On the seventh ballot, Wisconsin GOP chairman Reince Priebus got 97 votes and was thereby elected the new chairman of the Republican National Committee. Tough fight.

by Smitty While not having time to write much of anything, I am driven to confess: I have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Peggy Noonan. True, I was never a Commanding Officer like Captain Honors, but, nevertheless, if I am to be shriven of sins and become a whole citizen in her […]

My latest American Spectator column: Even before they were sworn into office, Republican freshmen in the 112th Congress had already shocked the political press corps in the nation’s capital.
