Whether the GOP wins back a majority in the House of Representatives or not, it will be sweet to watch all those phony “blue dog” Democrats go down in flames next Tuesday: Of the eight who flipped their votes to support the bill, two announced their retirement (Bart Gordon and Brian Baird) and five others are [...]
Next week’s midterm elections will probably give the GOP a majority in the House. We shouldn’t count our chickens before they hatch, but there are an awful lot of polling firms producing numbers like these from Gallup: This generic ballot looks worse for the Dems than it looked just before the 1994 GOP wave. So, why are [...]
Nate Silver, a poll analyst much beloved of progressives, is now predicting that the Republicans will win back the House: Republican chances of taking over the House are now up to 80 percent, according to the FiveThirtyEight forecast model; they had been 75 percent two days ago. Meanwhile, Ed Morrissey passes on some very encouraging [...]
This is what it has come to: Juan Williams has his sanity questioned for saying what virtually everyone thinks. But the voters of Nevada will probably send the guy who said the following back to Congress: But for me, we’d be in a worldwide depression. Yep. That’s what he said. As you watch, remember that [...]

The New York Times reported today that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has provided some end-of-life counseling for three more candidates: Representatives Steve Driehaus of Ohio, Suzanne M. Kosmas of Florida and Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania were among the Democrats who learned that they would no longer receive the same infusion of television advertising that [...]
Sore loser Lisa Murkowski and the Tea Party Express are engaged in an escalating ad war, and the former has actually been dumb enough to threaten broadcasters who might have the temerity to exercise their First Amendment rights: U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s campaign is warning Alaska broadcasters not to air ads by a national tea party [...]
If you want to know why unemployment has doubled since the Dems returned to power in the states as well as in Washington, this video pretty much tells the tale. Republican candidate for the Connecticut governorship, Linda McMahon, asks her Democrat opponent, “How do you create a job?” His answer is pathetic. After watching him [...]
Just in case you think Democrat violence against private citizens is the sole preserve of politicians like NC congressman Bob Etheridge, here’s a reminder that violence is a way of life for these people.
