ICYMI: The Hill Poll: Obama More Likely To Lose Than Win Again, Say Voters
Excerpts from The Hill By Ramsey Cox December 19, 2011 “President Obama will be a one-term president, said nearly half of registered voters polled by The Hill. “While 46 percent of likely voters predicted Obama will lose next year, 41 percent said he will win, a narrow margin just outside the poll’s margin of [...]
RNC Chairman Priebus Statement on Democrats’ Extreme Rhetoric on Voter Identification Laws

Kim Jong Il's Legacy (HT: Ace of Spades) It’s a very bad think to speak evil of the dead. Yet in the case of Detestable North Korean Tyrant, Kim Jong IL, there is a factual limit to the non-derogatory things I can say. Just this weekend, he did the people of his long-suffering and benighted [...]

Not a site endorsement; this is the view of the undersigned RedState Contributors. If this website has a purpose – if any conservative website or publication has a purpose – it must begin with electing conservatives to significant public offices. We have the chance to nominate a conservative for president and win the White House [...]
