Sure, let's start the speculation about 2016.  It helps take our minds off of Tuesday. And we need to plan ahead for the race against Hillary.  (It will be Hillary, don't you know.  Bill didn't do all that for Obama.) As longtime readers know, we were Perry-curious...

From Amy: I know you don't usually address abortion topics on your blog, but in the off-chance you do, here is a car for you. I saw it in a Wendy's parking lot here in Aurora, CO, a few weeks ago. Also, I know you normally black...

This was going to be my losing song. But I forgot to play it Tuesday night. Figures. You don't want to know what my victory song was. (Actually, I think you know, but I can't embed it because at least one reader emailed in the past that it...

I will have more in coming days on the flawed demographic narrative. You know, the one which liberals love to push particularly since Tuesday that because the percentage of non-white people is growing, Republicans are doomed.  Because skin color is destiny to them. Keep at that math.  Please. Democrats now...

I'm still gathering my thoughts on the "meaning" of Tuesday.  For now, I'm not seeing half as much meaning as most others. Until my further posts on the subject, this segment below by Dennis Miller (via Hot Air) is worth a listen. Miller makes the point that...

Yesterday morning—the morning after—I posted this: Barack Obama is the first two-term president in at least 100 years to get fewer votes in his reelection than he did the first time out. (FDR did less well in both his third and fourth terms.) I’d written those words...

Last night after news of Obama's reelection was announced, I headed into downtown Chicago and came across groups of supporters celebrating. The video below was taken of a group that gathered outside the ABC studios. They spoke about how thrilled they were to see that...

As we've reported already, Operation Counterweight member, David Rouzer, is heading for a recount in North Carolina's hotly contested 7th Congressional District. From the News & Observer: Longtime Democratic incumbent Congressman Mike McIntyre and Republican challenger state Sen. David Rouzer are headed to a recount. Merely 507 votes...

Operation Counterweight 2012 is over.  I reported the results in an earlier post, here is my assessment. The first thing you need to understand is that by definition we chose difficult races, not easy ones.  The goal was to try to flip Democratic seats or protect...
