Virginia Is For Election Lovers

by Smitty This morning I attended a Fairfax County GOP Veterans breakfast. The state’s rock star Attorney General was there, as a featured speaker.

BLAME FLORIDA!

It was reported yesterday (and I noted in passing) that Iowa Republicans have “tentatively” scheduled their presidential caucuses for Jan. 3, but what will Iowa do if New Hampshire goes thermonuclear?

You Can’t Have Your Cow And Milk It, Too

by Smitty (via Protein Wisdom) The bog-like decay of a legal system run amok produces another horrible result in Wisconsin: On September 9, Judge Fiedler issued his decision on the motion, stating that the court’s August 12 denial of plaintiffs’ motion for judgment meant the following: Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to own […]

McDonnell & Patrick On Press The Meat

by Smitty (via SWAC Girl) I’m a fairly huge Bob McDonnell fan, but Deval Patrick affords some amusement: 01:06 Patrick: “Do we want a government that is on the side of helping people help themselves?” 01:18 Patrick: “The American people are going to choose a partnership with leadership, in the form of President Obama, which […]
