A certain someone already has declared that the media got the primaries all wrong, and that it was going to be Mitt all the time.  Others have written off Newt and Perry to the dustbin of history.  The emerging media consensus, pushed by the mainstream...

With war in Israel  just one shot or rocket or kidnapping away, it's always worth seeing the faces of the people who will fight it. The Jewish New Year was in September, so this is the IDF's New Year's greeting to you (via Sheya): ...

I noted the other day Romney’s emerging secrecy problem, including the refusal to release income tax returns even if he becomes the nominee. This is a break with standard practice for nominees, and creates a no win situation in which Romney makes his income and taxes...

John Hinderaker of Power Line Blog wrote an endorsement of Mitt Romney on Tuesday.  It was about as good an endorsement as I have seen, but kept coming back to one theme, electability. I don't think we can judge electability just yet because no one really has challenged...

The worst Bumper Sticker of the Year competition was almost as tough as the Best Bumper Sticker of the Year competition.  Thanks again to those who made nominations. Not surprisingly, it was dominated by various forms of Derangement Syndrome. 1st Place - "Tea Party" sounds so much nicer...

I'm trying to make this an Iowa free day, which given the polls coming out today probably is a good thing: 'Drive to kidnap IDF soldiers up since Schalit deal' - Hmmmm, trading 1000 for 1 is a motivator.  Who whoulda thunk it. New York Times Staffers Express...

The choice for Best Bumper Sticker of the Year was a tough one. I appreciate the nominations from readers. My choice came down to which bumper sticker most concisely and vividly reflected my mood and the mood of Legal Insurrection readers. Here are the results: 1st Place - "Actually, No...

Rick Perry has filed a lawsuit over his exclusion from the Virginia ballot. His website link to the pleading is overloaded, so I don't know the specifics, updates to follow. Update:  The link keeps freezing but I managed to download the Complaint, here it is. (added) I claim...

Both Newt's campaign (first video below) and a pro-Newt SuperPAC have hit the airwaves in Iowa with positive ads. Meanwhile, I assume that the massive Romney SuperPAC ad buy will be hitting the airwaves in Iowa at the same time. There is no question that the negative...
