Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 19, 2010 66 Comments

We have heard so much about the supposed Buckley Rule, which Charles Krauthammer and other Mike Castle supporters over-simplistically synthesized as follows:"Support the most conservative candidate who is electable."The Buckley Rule is for primaries.

I know that you realize it, but this is a two-front political war.I have read some profoundly stupid commentary on the right about Christine O'Donnell, pronouncing O'Donnell's campaign dead because of a sophomoric series of appearances in the 1990s on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher.It appears...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 17, 2010 10 Comments

Is It Too Much To Ask That People Read The Wikipedia Entry To Which They Link?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 16, 2010 10 Comments

I expect it from TPM, which is peddling an overblown tape of Christine O'Donnell questioning -- in 1996 -- whether there had been a fair investigation of Vince Foster's 1993 death. TPM tries to make a big deal out of this, but as even Matthew...

I don't think Karl Rove's criticisms of Christine O'Donnell are fatal, although they are unusually personal. Being seen as the enemy of Karl Rove may be a positive in a blue state like Delaware.No one now can argue that Christine O'Donnell wants to return us...

“What’s up w/obsession about O’Donnell’s opinions on sex?”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 16, 2010 13 Comments

Tweet of the Day.Kirsten Powers gets it. Once again, the mainstream media and left-wing blogosphere -- including liberal feminists -- are sexualizing a conservative female candidate.
