Erick Erickson on CNN: here is not in any way, shape, or form any rational explanation for the United States engaged in Libya to do nothing except for one I can think of — Barack Obama’s re-election. … Suddenly Obama can look Presidential again — all through manufacturing the need for American involvement where there […]
There has been non-stop talk this week about Joe Sestak’s job offer by the Obama administration if he wouldn’t run against Arlen Specter. Now we have some answers: Senior White House advisers asked former President Bill Clinton to talk to Joe Sestak about whether he was serious about running for Senate, and to feel out […]
Thinking about the results of yesterday’s elections, one thing sticks out to me. America isn’t really anti-incumbent, but rather anti-old school politics. Let’s start in Kentucky. Rand Paul beat Secretary of State Trey Grayson, making him the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate. Rand Paul doesn’t have a political career like his opponent, but he did […]
The AP has called the PA. Democratic Primary for Joe Sestak, ending Arlen Specter’s 30 year run in the Senate. UPDATE 1: Fox News and The Washington Post are also calling it for Sestak.
Wow – what a potty mouth: Hamilton County Republican chairman Alex Triantafilou accuses Rep. Steve Driehaus of using ‘a vulgarity’ in a fundraising email, and is demanding an apology. The vulgarity: “tea bagger.” The Driehaus campaign calls the GOP release “nonsense” and says “no offense was intended.” Spokeswoman Melissa Wideman cites the Oxford American Dictionary […]

Arlen Specter […]
2010 is going to be very ugly for Democrats: Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet is losing to all three of his Republican challengers, according to a new Rasmussen survey, another sign that 2010 is shaping up to be a very tough year for Democratic incumbents. Bennet is now the fifth Democratic senator to be trailing Republican […]
That Jonathon Capehart was just on Morning Meeting and saying how the Democrats form circling fire squads because they go after their own members who disagree with them, unlike Republicans. Yeah that’s why Arlen Specter is still a Republican and Lindsey Graham is so loved by the GOP base, right along with Olympia Snowe and […]
When Arlen Specter switched parties last month the chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party came under fire for posting a picture of a bald Specter and comparing him to Dr. Evil. Well the latest antics of Alex Triantafilou aren’t as derogatory, but could rather be chalked up as just idiotic ramblings: Is the winner […]
It doesn’t matter what President Obama does. The only thing that matters to Republicans is to oppose it: The National Republican Trust PAC, currently the best-funded and most aggressive independent Republican group, has dispatched a round of letters to Republican senators threatening to go after senators who back President Obama’s judicial nominees. “I encourage you […]
