Why the Club for Growth PAC is backing Mark Neumann in #WISEN
One of the biggest pick-up opportunities for Republicans next year is going to be in Wisconsin, where the Democratic Senator Herb Kohl is retiring. There is a three-way primary, and the Club for Growth PAC has already endorsed one candidate. That candidate has already been endorsed by Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservative’s Fund, Senator Rand Paul, [...]
So, Whose House is it Anyway?
Last year, the American people voted overwhelmingly for a Republican House of Representatives. Based upon their campaign pledges, the prevailing expectation of a “Republican House” was a body of revitalized Republicans who would not fund Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, downsize Freddie/Fannie, oppose appropriator-concocted omnibus bills, and fight for at least some of their priorities in the [...]
Egypt 1 – Globalism 0
Let’s stipulate upfront that the Muslim Brotherhood’s Reagan-like domination of Egypt’s Parliamentary Elections is probably an international setback to the United States, Israel and most of Southern Europe. Results thus far encompass areas that were probably most friendly to the Facebook Revolutionaries and the Western World they represented. Amongst the cosmopolitan voters over at Starbucks, [...]
Rasmussen: Newt Stands Alone
I’ve been going crazy since Thanksgiving. We hadn’t gotten any polls over the long holiday weekend, and then no polling was conducted over the weekend itself, so we went 10 days with no major national polls in the field. Rasmussen broke the dry spell and the read is simple: Thanksgiving was very, very good to [...]
On Newt and Gnomes
Yesterday I posted a brief piece on the first wave of oppo dumps on Newt Gingrich to appear at NRO. No suprise that. NRO has been oppo central for all of the “anti-Mitt” candidates this cycle. Jim Geraghty thinks he was maltreated by me in the story. I think Jim protests too much. From Geraghty’s [...]
Obama’s Dual Deficits
On Monday, President Obama announced to the people of Europe that the United States stands “ready to do our part” to help Europe resolve its debt crisis. If only he were so ready to do his part to solve the U.S. debt problem. Today marks the one-year anniversary of the report from the Bowles-Simpson Fiscal [...]
The Horserace for December 1, 2011
We are a month away from the actual horserace, but it has been going on a while. I have said repeatedly that the race is Mitt Romney’s to lose. It looks like he just might lose it. The race is Romney’s to lose because the race has settled against his favor. The race has settled [...]
Andy Stern. Scab for the Chinese.
Before you ask: I was raised in a union household. I know precisely what that word means, and I am using it precisely as my late father the local union president would have used it if he had lived to read this Wall Street Journal article by former SEIU boss Andy Stern. Let me summarize [...]

Is Mitt Romney as Whiny as Barack Obama? Or Just Not Really Vetted?
If you haven’t seen the Bret Baier interview with Mitt Romney it is now abundantly apparent why Mitt Romney will not sit in the middle chair and take tough questions from the roundtable — his skin is as thin as Barack Obama’s. (To Bret’s credit, he had the roundtable panel submit questions and Steve Hayes [...]
