Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Cites Virginia Ultrasound Law in Fundraising E-Mail

The chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee cites an “atrocious” new Virginia law requiring ultrasounds prior to abortions as an attack on “women’s rights” in a fundraising e-mail sent to Democratic donors today. “There are still 450 other bills on birth control and abortion in state legislatures across the country,” Rep.

Joe The Plumber Refrains From Coming Through The Video Feed And Plugging Lawrence O’Donnell’s Mouth

by Smitty I’ll grade Joe a ‘B’ on this performance.

An important question, because Newt is not in Kansas anymore: The Gingrich campaign is cancelling all Kansas events to focus on Mississippi and Alabama. KS caucuses Sat. Miss, Ala primaries Tues. That’s via Twitchy, a new social-media site that I learned about via Bob Belvedere at Camp of the Saints, who got it from Michelle Malkin, […]
