‘Down in Alabama, You Can Run,
But You Sure Can’t Hide’

As mentioned yesterday, I’m now soliciting contributions to the Shoe Leather Fund to help fund an expedition to Alabama later this week. Despite promising Mrs. Other McCain I wouldn’t make any more road trips before CPAC, there’s some Tea Party action happening down there in the Republican primaries, and I need to check it out.

Politico Names an NRCC Dud; UPDATE: Roby Says FEC Numbers Show Otherwise; Time for Some Shoe Leather Reporting?

This one’s going to leave a mark: “Montgomery city councilwoman Martha Roby, the leading Republican to face Rep. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.), only brought in $76,000, and spent more than she raised.” One of the reason’s for Roby’s lackluster performance is the entry of Tea Party-backed Republican candidate Rick Barber into the AL-2 primary, which I mentioned here […]

Chris Cassone’s Tea Party Anthem Ripped Off by the New Yorker

Can you say “copyright infringement,” boys and girls? A gray-haired man in a blue velvet jacket and sneakers started inching toward the center of the room with an acoustic guitar. He had a “Reagan for President” button on his shoulder strap and a “Hoffman for Congress” sticker on his case. [T]hey invited the guitarist to […]

There Are Still 5 A’s in Raaaaacist!

I’ve headlined the attack on Hillbuzz, but Cynthia Yockey was out of the chute early with this important background: The Daily Kos and Democratic Underground have outed Kevin DuJan as the owner of the blog, Hill Buzz. They are smearing him with the false charge that that he is a racist. They are urging their […]
