Shocker: David Frum Backs Marco Rubio?

Somewhat less surprising than if Charles Johnson or Conor Friedersdorf had endorsed him, but surprising nonetheless: Crist continues to lead the polls. I expect that lead to fade as Republicans rally to Rubio and independents question the grounds for Crist’s candidacy. I  hope that translates into a Rubio win, but I worry that a Rubio candidacy will […]

PA12: Tim Burns vs. Murthanomics

From my latest column at The American Spectator: Murtha’s ghost looms large over the 12th District, which sprawls in a bizarre gerrymander over a predominantly rural area stretching from the southwestern corner of the state up to Ebensburg in Cambria County, a three-hour drive away. The crab-like geographical outlines of the erstwhile dominion of Murthadom, however, […]

Charlie Crist And The Backpack Of Conservative Principles

by Smitty Dan Riehl reports that Charlie has been kicked to the curb by the NRSC website. Cheech and Chong do a fine rendition of a Crist figure trying to convince a webmaster that he’s packin’ the gear. More from Cassie: Heh: Charlie Crist’s flip-flop makes John Kerry look like the Rock of Gibraltar. And. […]

Polls have shown the PA-12 contest “neck-and-neck,” as Burns campaign manager […]

PA12: Palin Picks a Winner

What do you do when you’re a Republican in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and you’ve just stomped Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked Democrat into smithereens in a public debate for the congressional seat formerly held by the late Jack Murtha? Tim Burns headed straight to Coney Island Lunch for the world-famous “Sundowner” burger: The Johnston Tribune-Democrat story about the debate is so […]

Janet Napolitano Channels Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore

by Smitty Dell over at Uncoverage quotes Janet: “I know that border I think as well as anyone, and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been,” Napolitano said. Equally demented:

Alabama AG Troy King Acts Tough On Crime. Corruption? Not So Much

Nice “America’s Most Wanted” imitation here by the suspiciously gambling-friendly attorney general Troy King: Unlike John Walsh, however, Troy King has been the target of a federal investigation, and this new TV ad raises a question: Where did those cop cars come from? If those are Alabama police cars . . . well, the state law is quite clear on such […]
