This ad by Crossroads GPS, for which Karl Rove consults, has been running very heavily in upstate NY. It's critically important that these type of ads run early before Obama starts spreading his hoped-for billion dollars around, the unions spend their hundreds of millions, and Hollywood/Wall...

In his rather "prickly" press conference on Wednesday, President Obama made it sound as if tax increases (or, to use the Democrats' language, "cutting spending in the tax code") were part of a last resort at trimming the deficit as the federal government reaches its...

I have referred to Obama's $5 dinner promotion as a "raffle."   I am not alone, as virtually every major news organization has used the same terminology. Under any common understanding, it is a raffle, you pay money for a chance to win.  Payment of money is...

The Barack Obama we saw at the press conference earlier this week, the one who inspired the controversial comment by Mark Halperin, is the real Barack Obama. The Barack Obama of 2008 was a charade. It only serves our interest to draw out the real Barack Obama,...

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley has accused Justice David Prosser of using a "chokehold" on her.  The Dane County Sheriff's office is investigating. Remember the term "chokehold" as the investigation as to what really happened progresses and the facts eventually come out. "Chokehold" is a very specific term, and...

Mark Halperin confirmed my impression of Obama's divisive, dismissive and demeaning performance at his press conference yesterday: The interesting thing for me is not that Halperin thought it, but that he said it thinking it would not make it to the airwaves. Compare such a...
