Barack Obama Makes History: the Wrong Kind

Posted by Joel Engel on November 08, 2012 40 Comments

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...

As we've reported already, Operation Counterweight member, David Rouzer, is heading for a recount in North Carolina's hotly contested 7th Congressional District.

Operation Counterweight after-assessment

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 07, 2012 54 Comments

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...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 07, 2012 35 Comments

This headline at DEBKAfile is spot on, Barack Obama wins reelection: Mid East faces nuclear Iran, Brotherhood grip: The prospect of another four years of Obama in the White House fills some Middle East nations, including the Persian Gulf and Israel, with trepidation.

Mitt’s Loss Leaves Us With a Lesson

Posted by Joel Engel on November 07, 2012 103 Comments

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.) That is a consequential fact, completely aside from whether...

Dunkirk

I'll have more in the morning, but my quick thoughts. Of course it was a bad defeat tonight. Let's not kid ourselves. We had a chance to stop the decline, and we didn't. We held the House pretty strongly, so that's good, and a reflection that candidates and...

Greatest Senior Prank Ever?

Posted by Bryan Jacoutot on November 06, 2012 2 Comments

I cannot at this point verify that this was in fact a Senior Prank, or if it was just a rogue gang of Republican students wanting to make a statement or have a laugh. Whatever the case, my former high school in Cobb County, Georgia has...

What will I do?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 06, 2012 41 Comments

Some thoughts. Should Romney lose, there will be trolling beyond belief, including liberals trying to get Republicans to fight with each other in order to tear the party apart. There are fights which will need to be had, but not tomorrow. Operation Demoralize never stops. Don't...
