Rasmussen released its latest polling results in Nevada, showing Harry Reid up 45-43%. The numbers are almost identical to a recent PPP poll; an earlier Mason-Dixon poll showed Reid with a larger lead. The polls all are consistent in showing that despite the power of...

There is no better example of the hubris of Harry Reid than his stated intention last weekend at the Netroots convention to push through major agenda items in a lame-duck session (after the November 2 elections, but before the new Congress is seated in January)....

Remember my now-classic post about all the “little-noticed” provisions in Obamacare, “Little-Noticed” is the New “Unexpected”? Well, “little-noticed” is back, this time with regard to the equally massive text of the financial regulation overhaul, SEC Says New FinReg Law Exempts It From Public Disclosure (emphasis mine): So...

I have posted before about the left-wing blogosphere’s obsession with mocking Trig Palin and attacking Sarah Palin for bringing Trig on stage during the campaign. Now, in the latest revelations from the Journolist archives, The Daily Caller reprints Journolist emails regarding Trig. And obsessed with...

Now that the left-wing blogosphere and Democratic media operatives Media Matters and Think Progress have found the Religion of Context when it comes to Shirley Sherrod … how about finally apologizing for the months long smear in 2009 that Census worker Bill Sparkman was killed...

Jon Ralston, a Nevada journalist, has announced the death of Sharron Angle’s campaign. Do not believe it. Not for a second. I don’t know Ralston, other than watching him interview Angle and Harry Reid. My impression is that he is very keyed into Nevada politics,...

Harry Reid has a failed record on Iraq for which he never has been held accountable. Reid voted for the war, then falsely claimed he was misled, then tried to defund the war, then declared the war lost, and then stubbornly refused to acknowledge the...

Welcome back from the July 4 vacation week. Now that you are back at work, you can take time off to catch up on the Harry Reid-a-thon which took place here: Sharron Angle Cannot Win – Just Like Scott Brown Reid Supporters Play The Rape...

We have seen this tactic before. Last January, Democrats in Massachusetts sent out a mailer accusing Scott Brown of wanting to deny medical care to rape victims, because he had introduced state legislation providing health care providers with a religious conscience exemption to providing abortion-related services,...

Markos Moulitsas, the founder of Daily Kos, has accused Research 2000 of defrauding Daily Kos in conducting research polling. The accusation is about as inflammatory as one can get. For professional pollsters, a reputation for fairness and accuracy is everything. The damage to Research 2000...

Every few days we are seeing some accusation made by Harry Reid’s campaign operatives which makes its way into the blogosphere and mainstream media. Today the meme is that Sharron Angle is refusing to state her position on Obama’s citizenship. Once again, the lead is...

The spinning for Harry Reid is in full throttle. The meme is changing — according to Democratic insiders! — from one of doomed Harry Reid to Harry Reid the survivor: There’s no denying that Reid still trails in most polls and that his approval ratings...

While Bill Halter’s failed attempt to unseat Blanche Lincoln understandably has received all the media attention, there is a congressional race in Massachusetts in which labor is trying to unseat a politically incorrect (i.e., not sufficiently liberal) Democratic incumbent. Steve Lynch is a Democrat in...

I’ve found it. The 2010 race about which I can get motivated the way I was motivated by Scott Brown v. Martha Coakley. There are plenty of choices out there, and I’ll likely add more to my focus, but I’ve found The Race. It’s not...

Greg Sargent of The Plum Line blog now blogs under the banner of The Washington Post, a recognition of his status as one of the premier, and normally more reasonable, left-wing bloggers. Yet it appears that Sargent, while far less vitriolic than many of his...

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: Hey, did you hear the one where Bill O’Reilly called a black professor a drug dealer? What a racist. At least that is what Gawker wanted you to...

From the day Barack Obama took office, the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress have been obsessed and possessed. Everything took a back seat to passing Obamacare. And other transformative legislation and regulations intended to turn us into the failing West European economic model. Because...
