Santorum’s Convictions

It’s easy to be a coward as a New York Republican. You’re badly outnumbered and, unless you are willing to get yelled at frequently, it’s more painless to acquiesce to the general opinions of the day in polite society — to murmur tacit agreement — than to pull the pin on the hand grenade by […]

Quote of the Day, Mike Huckabee

  “…if the trend continues over the weekend that we’ve started to see with Romney, sort of, bringing people together as people are saying, ‘Okay, look, if he’s going to win, let’s go ahead and get behind him.’ That’s what I think is starting to happen.” — Mike Huckabee on Mitt Romney

Election’s Over? Poppycock!

It’s incredible how quickly we jump to conclusions in politics.  I do it all the time, and then prove myself an ass. Just read some back entries of this blog and that will be made clear. The latest meme is that the 2012 election is but a foregone conclusion — that an admittedly strange Republican […]

Andrew Breitbart, RIP

  I met Andrew Breitbart only once.  It was backstage before he was about to address a crowd of more than 1,000 people at an Americans for Prosperity (AFP) breakfast in Washington, DC a couple of months ago. The evening before had been chaotic.  Frightening even. A couple of thousand “Occupy” rowdies had surrounded the Washington Convention […]

Campaign Messaging Five-Year-Old Style

http://youtu.be/WMZyo_DBSHE Rhode Island senate candidate Barry Hinkley (R) makes his campaign message so simple that even a five-year old-can deliver it. Wish the kid could be on loan.

Washington’s Spotted Owl Fever

The Obama Administration is planning to shoot barred owls in Washington State in order to save spotted owls — yes, the very same spotted owls that successfully lobbied Congress to shut down logging operations in large swaths of the state three decades ago. Wise little buggers, those spotteds. They must have a PAC.  I first heard about this in Washington, D.C. […]

Going Negative on Hank

http://youtu.be/_6z5zC8W2Mk If you haven’t heard — and I hadn’t until reading Liz Benjamin’s State of Politics blog tonight — a cat named Hank is running for the United States Senate from Virginia. His first TV spot is embedded above.  Cute. Right?   Wrong! Cats are:  Aloof; Disloyal; People hating; Stinky; Asthma Causing, and  Sneaky.  They […]
