Via Andrew Kaczynski (h/t BenSmith), it appears that the spirits are with Scott Brown this year: ...
Mia Love was interviewed on African American Conservative Radio. It's a really interesting discussion. Listen to internet radio with AACONS on Blog Talk Radio...
The Young Guns Action Fund, run by allies of Eric Cantor and to which Cantor has contributed, has committed $100,000 to supporting Dick Lugar. I like Cantor, and have always supported him, but the Young Guns are way off the mark on this one and should follow...
The successful Navy SEAL raid which killed Osama bin Laden is becoming one of the central themes of the Obama campaign. Almost every other sentence out of the mouth of Joe Biden (who opposed the raid) is about "bin Laden." We know that bin Laden was located as...
From a reader in Massachusetts: Hi Professor; I saw this at a handicapped spot at the Target Store here in Taunton today. I mused to myself that I wished I had a camera, then I remembered that my newish cell phone takes pictures. So here it is,...
This is the worst omen for Dick Lugar in a slew of bad omens this week. The SuperPAC which has dumped $600,000 of advertising into the Indianapolis market is pulling out of the race: The American Action Network is pulling out of the Indiana GOP Senate primary,...
You have got to be kidding me. This trashing of Newt by Erika Johnsen, who apparently just started blogging at HotAir, is so over the top: Newt Gingrich’s decision to wait a week to officially drop out of the presidential race was kind of a non sequitur...
Native American? I doubt this will move many votes in the Massachusetts Senate race, but it does illustrate how pursuit of “diversity” in higher education can drive institutions to make rather implausible claims: Elizabeth Warren’s avowed Native American heritage — which the candidate rarely if ever discusses...
A series of events in the past few days give every indication that Dick Lugar is losing the primary race, and his campaign devolves into almost bizarre and frantic accusations against Mourdock. Two recent polls show Mourdock with 1 point and 5 point leads, respectively. While Lugar's campaign...
Don Surber is giving up blogging: After 7 years of blogging, I am quitting. I am exhausted. It was simply too much work. I am still employed by the Charleston Daily Mail and still writing editorial and columns and performing the sundry other tasks that go...
Obama has been narrowing his targets for attack and derision ever since the 2008 campaign. Everywhere he looks, he finds some group to hold up for public scorn, and that group has narrowed from the top 5% to the top 2% to the top 1% to Wall...
I have not followed the Florida Senate race, and the attempt to unseat Bill Nelson, very closely. But I did post a couple of general items about it last Fall: So tell me about Cornelius Harvey McGillicuddy IV Florida Senate seat in play My focus has been elsewhere, but...
A map of US wages that suggests most Americans live in some sort of indentured servitude has gone viral. Thankfully, the claim is easily debunked: If that sounds bogus, it’s because it is. Here’s why: Very few people who earn the minimum wage are living on that wage alone;...
Kay Hymowitz: Why Women Make Less Than Men (h/t Instapundit): One stubborn fact of the labor market argues against the idea. That is the gender-hours gap, close cousin of the gender-wage gap. Most people have heard that full-time working American women earn only 77 cents for every dollar...
Dick Lugar's strong point in the campaign against Richard Mourdock is Lugar's claim to foreign policy expertise. Yet an examination of Lugar's history shows consistent wishful thinking on Iran, something which will be the subject of posts over the next two weeks in the run up to the...
From reader and frequent photographer Ulises in Maryland: Caught at a stoplight in Hunt Valley...
Very, very interesting. I had heard from a reader a couple of weeks ago that she heard a Carbonite ad running on the Rush Limbaugh show on a radio station in Texas: I was in the car running errands so I just don't remember the exact time....
Which do you think is better, the original Obama Celebrity ad run by the McCain campaign in 2008, or the new one from American Crossroads which was just released? First, the original: Here's how the NY Times Editorial Board characterized the McCain ad: The ad gave us an uneasy...
