Democrats, Unions Bankroll 527 Group Attacking Massachusetts Republican

BOSTON — Charles Baker is the Republican candidate challenging Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Lately, Baker has been targeted by attack ads from a group called “Bay State Future,” headed by Barbara Weniger.

EXCLUSIVE: Christine O’Donnell Hits Democrat Chris Coons on Taxes Again

In her second statewide campaign mailing, Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell reinforces her message about Democrat Chris Coons’ record of raising taxes in New Castle County: “When it comes to politicians getting their hands on your tax dollars . . . no one does it better than Chris Coons!” While O’Donnell’s two TV ads have […]

When Will Christine O’Donnell TV Ads Hammer ‘Baldy the Tax-Hiking Wanker’?

Woke up this morning to discover that last night’s post about Christine O’Donnell’s new ad was the top item at Memeorandum, with links by Da Tech Guy, Left Coast Rebel, Gateway Pundit and, of course, not Allahpundit.

Raise Fareed Zakaria’s Taxes!

I agree with that part of his argument, although his argument for raising everybody else’s taxes by repealing the Bush tax cuts is kinda lame. On the other hand, considering that he is the highly-paid foreign editor of a bankrupt magazine that just sold for $1, maybe Fareed Zakaria could get laid off and collect 99 […]

No Sheeples Thanks The POTUS

by Smitty . . .in a ‘Say hello to my YouTube bulldozer‘ sort of way: BHO’s support continues to be lackluster. When the remaining 40+% who are his chief supporters realize he views them more as his corpse constituency than his core constituency, then he will probably set the all-time floor for approval, getting his […]

Let’s Walk Back That Daffy Lame Duck Talk

by Smitty (h/t Insty) This post is prompted by Sense of Events: “Is Obama a lame duck already?” It’s far too early to start writing anything triumphal about the lameness of the POTUS. The chief reason is that, while the Tea Parties are an impressive outpouring of outrage, they haven’t demonstrated staying power. They cannot, […]
