Sean Hannity's interview of Todd Akin this afternoon was very uncomfortable and unsettling. Hannity pressed Akin just about every way he could, but he and Akin were ships passing in the night. (Partial transcripts here and here) Notice at 19:00 of the audio when Akin refers to the PPP...

I joked the other day about Elizabeth Warren's Mike Dukakis Tank moment. Maybe tanking was the right word, because a PPP poll just released shows Warren 5 points behind and Warren's negatives rising dramatically (emphasis mine): PPP's newest poll on the Massachusetts Senate race finds Scott Brown...

Republican nominee for U.S. Senate Todd Akin repeated on the Mike Huckabee radio show that he will stay in the race, saying "We are going to continue with this race for U.S. Senate,” which he then confirmed on Dana Loesch's The Dana Show shortly after: I don't think this...

for you know what. Lots of speculation and "inside info" on the internets. Update: Perhaps this will provide some clarity (radio link here) Todd Akin on today’s show 12:35 central. #dlrs— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 21, 2012 ...

PPP finds Todd Akin still leads Claire McCaskill, and that the numbers have not changed much since the controversy broke: Missouri voters strongly disagree with the comments Todd Akin made about abortion over the weekend, but it hasn't moved the numbers a whole lot in the...

Hannity laid it on the line for Todd Akin, is he willing to drag down the presidential ticket and the goal of taking back the Senate. Listening to the audio, you can see how Akin would be a good candidate against McCaskill if he had not...

The Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri , Todd Akin, made a stupid statement on a talk show today regarding abortion in cases of rape.  I'm not going to defend the statement.  It was similar to Whoppi Goldberg's rape-rape comment.  He now has apologized. Yet the...

Extortion is the new social justice. We've written before about the bully tactics utilized by organizations like Color of Change in order to achieve their political aims. These tactics are not just abusive and opinion-supressive. They're effective. Major companies like Amazon and Wal-Mart have already cut ties with...
