Why Christine O’Donnell Is Surging: Three Ads From Tea Party Express

O’Donnell’s unexpected last-minute surge in the Delaware GOP Senate primary has caught some people flat-footed. How did this happen? It’s simple: For the first time, RINO Mike Castle is being called to account for his record with a series of hard-hitting ads (two on TV and one on radio) from the Tea Party Express: Let’s […]

Another Atlas Shrugged Moment

While I was covering the rally in Washington yesterday, I spotted this poster in the crowd: Recognizing the source of the phrase, I interviewed the lady with the sign, and that provided the lede for my latest column at The American Spectator: Brianna Aubin stood in the front row of the rally on the West Lawn […]
