A new Rasmussan poll indicates that the percentage of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats has gone down to 36% (a shift of minus-five since the beginning of 2009). Two percent of that drop has been this November alone. The percentage … Continue reading →
Elizabeth Drew reports that many inside-the-Beltway Obama supporters are angry that Greg Craig was tossed under the bus by this administration, with Obama’s tacit approval and acquiescence while others did the dirty work. It’s a curiously naive article. The sentence … Continue reading →
For a while, I thought each day that I’d finally seen the worst Obama had to offer. Then I realized that was naive of me, and that Obama’s actions would probably continue to become ever more outrageous as he perceived … Continue reading →

New England used to be fairly solidly Republican, with the exception of Massachusetts, and even Massachusetts retained a periodic tendency to vote for Republican governors. But the New England brand of Republican was always a combination of fiscal conservative and … Continue reading →
…he speaks to rank and file upstate New York Republicans when he asks them to show conservatives a lesson by voting for Owen? I’m not a Biden fan, but I thought he had a little more political savvy then that … Continue reading →
