Providence update – big union concessions prevent bankruptcy

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 7 Comments

I've written numerous times over the past two years about the horrible fiscal mess David Cicilline (D-RI01) left behind in Providence when he was Mayor, and how he concealed the problem from voters during his 2010 congressional race. The city has been teetering on the verge...

Big corporations are not your friend (Wal-Mart caves to Color of Change on ALEC edition)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 36 Comments

Because large corporations are under continual attack from the left, there is a tendency for the right to think of big corporations as ideological compatriots. They are not, at least not if they are public. By and large they are large entities run by politically weak...

It’s Elizabeth Warren’s and Harvard’s federal filings, stupid

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 31, 2012 50 Comments

Elizabeth Warren has played hard to get on the issue of her supposed Cherokee ancestry. Warren only admits to information after someone has the documents to prove her story wrong, and then her story changes. She originally denied having any idea why Harvard touted her as...

This is beyond bizarre. I had heard about Deval Patrick saying something about how the people of Massachusetts don't care about Elizabeth Warren's false claim of Cherokee heritage, but until I saw this video (via Michael Patrick Leahy), I didn't realize just how bad the press...

How does Cruz win over some Dewhurst supporters

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 30, 2012 31 Comments

Despite being vastly outspent and having the Republican establishment in Texas against him, Ted Cruz lost to David Dewhurst by only 10 points. That's a far closer match-up than most polls were predicting. Just a couple of months ago Dewhurst was up by a factor...
