Republicans Stayed Home

So I'm trying to figure out why the Republicans lost. And I go back to one of the stats guys who misinformed me. Yeah I know. But he is an honest guy and is trying to figure out what his...

Conservative, not!

When I read last week that Christopher Buckley had decided to support Barack Obama, my reaction was a relatively minor shrug. Not even worth a passing mention here, much less a blog post. I realize the man is the son...

The Numbers Game

More than one person has asked me why the polls are so out of whack with what they see as their reality. So what is that reality? I think a few anecdotes are in order. First from commenter Daddy at...

"serious doubts about his potency"?

"Obama can win without her, but he can't lose with her." So says veteran Clinton lawyer and troubleshooter Lanny Davis (who has started a petition drive aimed at getting Hillary on the ticket as the vice presidential nominee). I think...

Condensed Hillary Obama Rush post (rant-free version)

I'll be out until late tonight, so I thought I'd write an uncharacteristically short post consisting mainly of links, with few comments. (It kills me, because I always want to say more. But OTOH, blogging is supposed to be done...

UGH!

On the radio yesterday, I heard Rush Limbaugh bragging that thanks to him (and what he called "Operation Chaos," but which I call "Operation Elect Hillary"), Hillary Clinton is now ahead. When I distrust someone, I tend to be dismissive...

Pennsylvania -- broken machines and waiting....

Well the polls have closed and it's now time to watch the returns. So far, it's too early to tell anything. (Yeah, Drudge and others have reported various exit polls saying it's too close to call, but I try to...

Which party left me?

I hate socialism. I abhor the welfare state. Seriously, I think it will eventually be the death of this country. Even more than that I detest identity politics. So, because the modern Democratic Party is built on both, I'm not...

Only Hillary can deliver us from victory!

Rush Limbaugh, long on record as preferring to see the Democrats defeat McCain this fall, has not given up in his battle to ensure the defeat of the Republican party which he seems to think is his to destroy. The...

Real conservatives want their party to lose, but only to Hillary!

On Wednesday I listened to Rush Limbaugh devote two segments of his show to bashing primarily two people: Barack Obama and John McCain. Considering his longstanding antipathy to McCain, and his urging of Republicans to vote for Hillary, and considering...

From five years to many more!

Justin (I mean the good Justin who writes here, not the one who carried on at the recent demo) told me about a wonderful sign being displayed at San Francisco's "'Peace Vigil' starring Cindy Sheehan, Justin Raimondo -- and not...

ANTI-HILLARY RINO BECOMES ANTI-LIMBAUGH DINO

....could this election get any wackier? Tom Maguire wants to know. (Via Glenn Reynolds, who calls McCain the Unity Candidate.) Tell you what. The front page of today's Inquirer promises "an absolute zoo," as the election is coming to Pennsylvania,...

A red meat victory on the road to defeating McCain?

According to Andrew Sullivan, the right is "celebrating" the victory of Hillary Clinton. That may be, but the evidence he cites (a remark by Hugh Hewitt) seems rather slim:A month ago talk radio was dead. Now it has resurrected Hillary?...

Memory Lane leading back to Hell

I'll be glad when this election is over. I don't think people realize the danger this country is in, and I'm not enjoying seeing Hillary Clinton (aka "The Clintons") being endorsed by so many people who ought to know better...

NEWSFLASH! Hillary endorses McCain over Obama!

The campaign for the presidency just keeps getting more and more surreal. Reading Pajamas Media's roundup on today's events, I found this gem -- an apparently accurate quote from Hillary Clinton:"I think that I have a lifetime of experience that...

Talking Points for "Obamacans"?

I don't know whether what I'm about to quote from is the Talk Left piece Glenn Reynolds linked earlier, but I couldn't get it to open, and I found this anyway. Whether it's the same piece or not, it's just...

I'm just about ready to give up

Right now I want Romney to win. No, seriously. I still prefer McCain slightly, but I want Romney to win in order to make this stuff stop. I'm really starting to get angry -- angrier than I have ever been...

RINOs and MDS

No, I am not talking about a struggle involving physicians in the Republican Party; I'm talking about the McCain Republican third rail phenomenon which is being called McCain Derangement Syndrome. While I supported Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani before that...

Taking sexism seriously

That title was easy enough to write, but it looks sexist. Of course, would also have appeared sexist had the title been "Not taking sexism seriously..." Forgive the irony, but I often feel I can't win, whether I try to...
