Have you noticed how few Democrats are standing by their man Anthony Weiner? The NY Times has noticed. Weiner may have calculated, from observing the loyalty most Democrats showed Bill Clinton during his impeachment crisis, that he would likewise retain … Continue reading →
For the moment, anyway. What’s more: Among all Americans, Obama and Romney are knotted at 47 percent each, and among registered voters, the former governor is numerically ahead, 49 percent to 46 percent. Unlike Romney, the other official Republican candidates … Continue reading →
Apparently, Andrew Breitbart held a little something in abeyance in Weinergate, just in case he might need it. I watched Breitbart on the Hannity show last night, and he made it fairly clear what that “something else” is: a nude … Continue reading →
Well, I guess Weiner’s confession calls for some commentary on my part. So let me just say that: —I still think the original offense[s] itself, although exceedingly smarmy, is a matter between Weiner and his wife (that is, assuming all … Continue reading →

The Democrats are happy. As the Republican field shapes up, it looks either weak or strange, or in some cases both. Mitch Daniels has now pulled back for whatever reason—perhaps the fact that his family has decided they would be … Continue reading →
I’ve never liked Newt Gingrich. At all. It’s not that I couldn’t see he’s a pretty bright guy. He is, about some things. And it’s not just that my initial exposure to him was back when I was a liberal … Continue reading →
I can’t imagine why anyone would think that Mitch Daniels’s unusual marital history would be a problem with the electorate. The story is that his wife left him and married another man in the 90s, leaving him to raise his … Continue reading →
Obama may not be spiking the football—but ever since the Bin Laden killing, have you noticed how much the left has been doing so? I’ve also observed a general increase in visitors from the left to blogs or periodicals on … Continue reading →
