Conservatism 101:
Never Let Your Enemies Tell You Who Your Friends Should Be

Conservative Republicans seeking political advice should not take it from a liberal Democrat like Jonathan Chait: You don’t have to love Sue Lowden to understand that a 90% chance of Lowden winning is better than a 20% chance of Sharron Angle winning. Nor is there any recognition on the right that conservatives paved the way […]

Devastating Report on Kagan Nomination; Press Conference With Sen. Jeff Sessions; UPDATE: Press Conference Postponed

Americans United for Life is about to release a bombshell 54-page report on Elena Kagan’s 1996 intervention in the partial-birth abortion issue, and has scheduled a Capitol Hill press conference this afternoon: Senator Jeff Sessions, ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, will host a press conference today with several leading Senators at 2:30pm to […]

If We Can Beat Barbara Mikulski . . .

. . . we can beat anybody: Maryland has a fiscal conservative Republican candidate who can win the race in November for U.S. Senate against Democrat incumbent Barbara Mikulski and his name is Jim Rutledge. . . .

Lisa Murkowski’s Palin Problem

Joe Miller is the Republican primary challenger to Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who was rated No. 5 on the Human Events list of “Top 10 Senate RINOs” (and that was when Arlen Specter was still a Republican). The Aug. 24 Alaska primary is the subject of my latest American Spectator column:  Any disinterested political observer would be tempted […]

UPDATE 5:45 p.m. ET: Yeah. Three days, very few tough questions, and Pat Leahy closed by congratulating her that this would likely be the last time she ever had to testify. But is it really? Funeral plans for the late Sen. Robert Byrd will affect the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings schedule Thursday and Friday, and […]

Kagan Confirmation Circus

Yes, Michelle Malkin has declared this Kagan Kabuki Week in the Judiciary Committee, where Democratic senators will pretend that Kagan is a moderate pragmatist, and Republican senators will pretend that they’re still relevant.

Sen. Robert Byrd Dead at 92; Truly Eternal Filibuster Now Commences

He just became the best kind of Democrat, joining the sainted ranks of those who can no longer demagogue and pander their way to power, who no longer tax honest people into poverty so that their less industrious neighbors can be bribed with “free” government giveaways, and about whom even Republicans feel compelled to say nice things. American children […]

Sharron Angle 48%, Harry Reid 41%

Nevada is not wild about Harry, according to Rasmussen, and Professor William Jacobson observes: What is amazing is that for the past two weeks Harry Reid has been pouring on the attacks against Angle, both through his own advertising, astroturfing, and through friends in the mainstream media and left-wing blogosphere.
