Comments

Last night was a great night for Democrats. At least if the only world you live in is the left-wing blogosphere.

Democrats won the 23rd District in upstate NY by 4 points in a race torn apart by a liberal Republican mistake named Dede Scozzafava, who took 6 percent of the vote...

There are many reasons for Doug Hoffman losing by four points.

Yes, Hoffman was unknown just a month ago. Yes, Dede Scozzafava and the Watertown Daily Times scared people that Hoffman would not bring home the federal pork. Yes, union backing helped Bill Owens organizationally. Yes, the bizarre machinations in the last...

Please keep Grayson in the spotlight, at least throught the 2010 elections. We can’t do it without you.

If Republicans had done this, you would hear screams across the mainstream media and left-wing blogosphere loud enough to wake Larry King. Racial disparity: All active ethics probes focus on black lawmakers:

Rich Lowry has a good piece on Obama’s decision to skip ceremonies and celebrations commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall:

Obama famously made a speech in Berlin during last year’s campaign, but at an event devoted to celebrating himself as the apotheosis of world hopefulness. He said of 1989, “a wall...

Regarding Obama administration policy towards Hamid Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, it is reported:

Obama administration officials are saying they’ll judge Karzai on his appointments ….
