Mike Huckabee’s campaign manager Ed Rollins has been ceaselessly pilloried on the Right for saying, “It’s gone. The breakup of what was the Reagan coalition — social conservatives, defense conservatives, anti-tax conservatives — it doesn’t mean a whole lot to people anymore.” While my gut impulse is to disagree with Rollins, the rapid rise of […]

“I still want to see (Obama) run for the nomination though and not just because he won’t win the general. The Democrats always act as if disagreeing with a black man is caused by some sort of racist impulse. That’s why, for the most part, they ignored anti-semitic crank Al Sharpton during the last Democratic […]

“I am so tired of pink men bombing brown children and rationalizing it as fighting terrorism. I am so tired of pink men telling women (of all colors) what to do with their wombs–which connect with their brains–in case you forgot. I am so tired of pink men telling us we should stay in Iraq […]

I want Fred Thompson to win the Republican nomination. (Did you hear he’s surging in South Carolina?) And it’s not just that the other candidates stink for various and sundry reasons–which I’ll run through momentarily–or that he’s the best of the worst or something. I want Fred for his own reasons. Let’s run through the […]

HuffPo has become a must read for me. Why? Because there in all its glory you can see the vacuous reasoning of the left proudly displayed. And it is a must read because its value is contained in articles by lefties that would never, ever be accepted by the editor of a newspaper for the […]

Ya know, there are some days where not much seems interesting news wise, even when digging deep. Probably doesn’t help that my Giants are playing the Cowgirls later this afternoon. Not much in the global warming or illegal immigration realms, the media doesn’t really want to talk about the successes in Iraq, and, football is […]

Mark R. Levin: Huckabee continues to use his faith as a weapon against those who question not his faith, but his political populism — much of which he shares with secular progressives. And he is clearly hoping to stir up resentment among Evangelical Christians against the other elements of the conservative movement and Republican Party […]

The Democratic party’s desire to go ahead and crown Obama as their next Great Leader continues as the war on criticizing his record rages on. Via Mike Allen at The Politico: Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), the second-ranking party leader in the Senate, says President Bill Clinton’s comments about Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) are getting […]

Update: (Audio) Rick Santorum makes his own case against McCain I’m swiping the bullet points of this from Mark Levin: All I can say is that McCain is basically a Democrat on every issue except foreign policy and the war. I’ll also add that he should have went through with his attempt to change parties. […]

His crime? Publishing those “Mohammed” cartoons. The accused, Ezra Levant, delivered a stirring opening statement at his interrogation.

My latest column at Townhall is called How The Bradley Effect Blew Up The New Hampshire Polling. Here’s an excerpt from the column, What’s the Bradley Effect?

Tonight at 9 PM EST, I’m going to be liveblogging the GOP debate out of South Carolina. I had considered actually foregoing the liveblogging and attending in person, but I figured it would be a madhouse and that I’d get more traffic out of liveblogging than actually attending and taking pictures.
