No one could have seen this coming, right? Democrat Elizabeth Warren has opened up a lead against Republican incumbent Scott Brown for the first time in their U.S. Senate showdown, but a barrage of attack ads appears to have damaged Warren and Brown’s standing among Massachusetts...

Democratic Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska negotiated the now infamous "Cornhusker Kickback" payoff from Obama for Nelson's vote in favor of Obamacare. The payoff was an embarrassment for the people of Nebraska, as I noted at the time.  One Nebraska family care physician wrote an open letter to...

Some interesting doings: He may not have stolen the whole election, but he may have stolen Indiana. Via Sarah Palin, looks like Fast & Furious was purely political, to make the case for gun control, the smoking gun. I know that people are sick of me posting stuff...

One of my friends circulated a link to a disturbing article from WaPo: When an adult took standardized tests forced on kids. Basically, an "administrator" with a BS and two MAs flunked this extremely basic 10th grade Florida state math test. This is the test in question: http://fcat.fldoe.org/pdf/releasepdf/06/FL06_Rel_G10M_TB_Cwf001.pdf.  After...

At the Republican Jewish Coalition conference a few minutes ago Newt Gingrich announced "If he will accept it, I will appoint John Bolton as Secretary of State." I'll post the video when available, it was a great speech with lots of applause. Update: The video - ...

After a firestorm of controversy, Obama is cancelling his Hawaii vacation. Association does not equal causation.  But what the hey, that's what campaign managers are for: Update: A reader says that the tweet simply is repeating the original headline of the linked post at The Hill...

And so it ends.  14 years, which means just under 12 to serve. As long-time readers know, I've followed Saga Blago almost since the beginning of this blog.  It was my first and longest lasting blog obsession. I take no joy in the sentence, although it does seem...

I'm really looking forward to the Fox News Iowa Debate on December 15 in Sioux City. Really looking forward to it, because Romney has to go after Newt big time.  He can't leave it to Ron Paul or Michele Bachmann.  It's Tim Pawlenty time if he...

I have posted numerous times before about Obama's penchant for creating false choices in his speeches, invariably some non-existent supposedly conservative position versus his position. This enables Obama to knock down the conservative straw man and make his own position seem reasonable by contrast.  He's a...

Great analysis of Nancy Pelosi's threatened blackmail of Newt Gingrich, from Bill Quick of Daily Pundit (via The Other McCain).  It sure does feel good to read and imagine: You know what, though?  She’s got bupkus that will make any difference.  The Dems are absolutely terrified...

Q.  Who was the last person to actually cut government? As pointed out at C4P: Rush is correct. Newt was indeed the last person to substantially cut Government and execute reform. However; what folks seem to confuse that with is the idea that Newt actually “cut” budgets. That...
