Democrats Unveil 2010 Message: ‘Hope, Change and a Buttload of Attack Ads’

Remember when Democrats didn’t want to talk about Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers and ACORN? Remember when they kept saying how we need to focus on the important issues that matter to working American families? My, how times have changed: Democratic candidates across the country are opening a fierce offensive of negative advertisements against Republicans, using […]

Twittering Obama’s Speech

Continuing my Book of Job-style woes — e.g., the antlered jihadi that destroyed my car — today our local Internet provider crashed just as President Obama was beginning his Ohio speech.

Good News: Democrats Continue Ripping Each Other Apart in Senate Primaries

Last week, I pointed out that Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher has been forced to spend $1 million to beat back moonbat-endorsed Jennifer Brunner in the Democratic Senate primary.

Good News: Democrat Spends $1 Million Against Nutroots Ohio Primary Rival

The Senate primary campaign in Ohio has been an expensive bloodbath for Democrats. Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher is the darling of the Democratic establishment, but he’s in a primary against Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, the sweetheart of the moonbat bloggers. (She’s endorsed by ActBlue and HuffPo loves ’em some Brunner). The news today is that Fisher has […]

Dennis Kucinich to Vote ‘Yes’ and Other Updates on Zombie Health Care Bill

Obama’s arm-twisting works wonders on the little leftist from Ohio: “In the past week it’s become clear that the vote on the final bill will be very close,” Kucinich, who voted No last time because of the lack of the public option, said at a presser moments ago.
