No “placeholder” for DeMint

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 10, 2012 12 Comments

With Jim DeMint leaving the Senate, there's plenty of speculation as to who Nikki Haley will appoint. While Tim Scott has the national attention, there is plenty of South Carolina political intrigue always waiting to happen, so who knows. While that's undecided, one thing that has been...

Michigan is the new Wisconsin

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 10, 2012 36 Comments

I haven't been following this closely, but it bears attention. The Michigan legislature last week passed "right to work" legislation which would deprive unions of automatic union dues deductions, among other things. Already protests similar to what took place in Wisconsin have started at the Capitol...

The award for the person most consistently wrong about the Muslim Brotherhood goes to … Roger Cohen of The NY Times

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 10, 2012 16 Comments

I have written several times about the dangerous romanticizing of the Muslim Brotherhood by Roger Cohen of The NY Times. He certainly was not alone at The Times in doing so, but this quote from February 3, 2011, surely puts him in a league of his...

Money, money, everywhere, but not a drop for small conservative bloggers

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 09, 2012 39 Comments

The amount of money spent by Romney/RNC and Obama/DNC was astounding -- over $1 billion each. As Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart.com (and others) have been exploring, the Republican money was concentrated on a small number of connected consulting firms: One-Third of RNC's Final Five Weeks of Spending...
