Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 27, 2012 6 Comments

After a rough week, Richard Mourdock has started hitting back at Joe Donnelly's attempt to portray Mourdock as "pro-rape." It's unclear if the gaffe moved the needle much.

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 27, 2012 30 Comments

One of the great successes of Elizabeth Warren's campaign has been to destroy the concept of truth and falsity when it comes to ancestry. What you believe, or what you were told, becomes the operative standard. The effect has been to excuse Warren's ethnic fraud in the minds of...

At this moment, what we need most is another star-studded pro-Obama music video

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 26, 2012 30 Comments

Just what the Obama campaign needed to reestablish its seriousness after as series of unserious campaign themes, like Big Bird, Binders and Bayonets. A new music star-studded video to the theme FORWARD. What I find most interesting is that there is a delusion to the video which...

Richard Mourdock for Senate (still)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 26, 2012 16 Comments

Nothing has changed, in my view. Mourdock's comments are being portrayed as "pro-rape" by his political opponents, but that is a gross mischaracterization. Some thoughtful writers have pointed this out even as they disagree with Mourdock on substance, including this post at WaPo by Melinda Hennenberger: Last spring,...
