Mitt Romney as the Nominee: Conservatism Dies and Barack Obama Wins
Mit Romney will not go on Special Report with Brett Baier to answer the tough questions as the other candidates have done. No worries. Conservatives will bitch and moan for a few days and Romney will claim it was a scheduling issue, he’d always meant to go on, and he will go on. Should Mitt [...]

Tech at Night: Tell Scott Brown and the Senate to repeal Net Neutrality
Oops. It’s midnight as I type this out. I just remembered I’d better do Tech tonight, so here goes. Fortunately I already did my reading! Urgent in the Senate this week is the upcoming vote on Net Neutrality repeal, which was already passed by the House. We need 51 votes, not 60. Less Government has [...]
It’s Tuesday. Don’t Forget To Go Vote Today.
Just a reminder, Tuesday is Election Day—and that means we need to vote and help ensure that others get out to vote as well. While there are elections throughout the country, there are several campaigns and issues that [in part, via WaPo] are listed as ‘Most Watched.’ Here they are, with some recommendations: State Issues: In Arizona… [...]
Did Journalists Promise to Stay Silent on Obama-Netanyahu Gaffe?
Let me say at the outset that as it stands, this is only being sourced from one location. Having had some experience with relaying quotes that turn out to be bunk, I think this is worth noting. However, if there’s any truth to it, it is absolutely worth talking about. Apparently President Obama had a [...]
Perry and Gingrich, sitting in the polls…
R-E-B-O-U-N-D-I-N-G. First came Cain, then came Politico, then came USA Today/Gallup and NBC News/Wall Street Journal with the latest numbers. This also make three straight post-scandal polls that have shown Cain to have re-lost his lead over Romney. The facts: Hart/McInturff for NBC News/Wall Street Journal polled 300 Republican primary voters, MoE about 6. USA [...]
RS Interview: Dan Liljenquist (R, UT-SEN District 23)
This interview was from last week; unfortunately, technical difficulties were… difficult. Dan Liljenquist is developing a name in the Utah legislature for his past work on pension reform and current work on Medicaid reform; we talked about that, as well as the possibility that he might be making a primary challenged against sitting Utah Senator [...]
Can Rick Perry Rebound With a Flat Tax?
The Perry campaign wants to reboot, having retooled and refined its message and tried hard to get back on the jobs message. Okay, fine, but first the Perry camp needs to answer a basic question – why should supporters who went all in for him and wound up feeling burned give him a second shot? [...]
A Note To Charlotte’s Workers: Get A Written Guarantee You Won’t Be Outsourced To Unions
Based on a tip last week and subsequent conversations with employees at Charlotte’s Ritz Carlton who, according to them, had been told that they are to be displaced by union workers during the DNC’s 2012 Convention, apparently Charlotte’s mayor and the hotel are saying that the story is untrue. According to WBT.com’s Chris Miller’s twitter [...]
NYT Editorial Page Editor struggles to examine the record on voter fraud (UPDATED)
For a number of reasons, I tend to avoid claims of media bias, as I am often reminded of Silberman’s Law, from Rumsfeld’s Rules, that notes that we often overstate “conspiracy,” while “underestimat[ing] incompetency and fortuity.” However, I have trouble explaining this one any other way. The New York Times editorial page editor, Andy Rosenthal, says, [...]
