Update – Brown-Warren Debate – LIVE —————————- I’ll be watching, and hopefully embedding a live video if I can find an embeddable version.  At a minimum, I’ll have a link to the live feed.  Also, I may have a joint live blog feed with Red Mass...

There have been several polls released recently, showing everything from a virtual dead heat to Elizabeth Warren ahead by low single digits. This was a contrast to pre-DNC polls, which showed Brown ahead by low single digits.  Clearly Warren received a convention bounce, almost entirely from...

This is going to be a painful night to sit through. We will have to sit through 20 or so minutes of Liz Warren giving her standard lashing of business and Republicans, playing the holier than thou card.  There are few prominent politicians less deserving...

Tonight at the DNC Elizabeth Warren will deliver a high profile, coveted introduction of Bill Clinton. Democrats in the arena will stand and wildly cheer as Warren delivers what is sure to be a rousing speech of economic demagoguery in which she lashes out at...

UPDATE – No new submissions being accepted for now, the response was so overwhelming that there’s already a huge backlog. Today is the impromptu National Empty Chair Day, which I covered on Saturday night when a reader alerted me to the idea.  At the time there were about...

Drudge and LI have something in common.  August 2012 was our best month ever in terms of traffic.  LI had 1,449,541 page views, Drudge had 943,281,513. Of course, I didn’t build it on my own, nobody does.  I was helped by the very generous linkage of Prof. Glenn...

I guess this is the day for anecdotes. First, the friend who texted “Omg!” after seeing 2016 Obama’s America. Then, the carpet cleaning guy today who called this photo to our attention when told about this blog: (Background on the sign here and just about...

Operation Counterweight, the electoral strategy for the rest of us, is intended to help provide a counterweight to conservatives being sold out in two ways.

Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day has proven something I’ve noticed before. Conservatives are very good at buycotts, but very bad at boycotts. There have been attempts by some conservative and religious groups to boycott various businesses over political issues. But I can’t think of one, at least...
