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 […]

Bitter Clingers for Tim Burns?

Newt Gingrich has a column today calling Tim Burns “the next Scott Brown” and, in linking Gingrich at The American Spectator, I explained: Another Pennsylvania GOP source told me last night that many voters in the 12th District “are Democrats because their grandfather survived the Great Depression” and feel “obligated to . . . the old Democratic Party.” However, […]

Hypothetical Hitlers, the Arizona Gestapo and Other Irrational Liberal Fears

The rhetorical escalation over the new Arizona immigration law has taken a predictable path toward insanity — or inanity, in the case of Meghan McCain: I believe it gives the state police a license to discriminate, and also, in many ways, violates the civil rights of Arizona residents.

Troubling News From Fitchburg, Mass.: If Scott Brown’s Lost Josh Romano . . .

In his new gig writing for the Examiner, Pete Da Tech Guy finds trouble at the corner market for the “41st vote”: We now know Brown’s price; $354,000. That’s a local voter’s reaction to this Boston Herald article: U.S. Sen. Scott Brown – the upstart GOP maverick who has threatened to filibuster the Democrats’ move to rein in Wall Street – […]

If Al Sharpton Is Against It . . .

. . . the new Arizona immigration law must be right: The Rev. Al Sharpton says he’s ready to travel to Arizona and march in the streets to protest the state’s new immigration law. Sharpton joined Lillian Rodriguez Lopez from the Hispanic Federation in New York City on Sunday to speak out against the law. […]

Arizona: The Fourth Reich?

You might think so if you buy into all the media sturm und drang generated by the state’s new law permitting law enforcement to ascertain legal residency. USA Today made sure to get the word “controversial” in their headline — as did Allahpundit, for some reason — and the New York Times plays up the “discrimination” angle: PHOENIX […]
