Year: 2008

In the aftermath of a failed presidential campaign, it’s important to take the time to detail what went wrong. So, with that in mind, here’s my McCain campaign post-mortem. * First off, the field was heavily slanted towards the Democrats and it was going to be extremely difficult for ANY Republican candidate to win. Moreover, […]

Tonight on Right Wing News Radio, I talked about the election, Sarah Palin, & what comes next. As you can imagine, it was a little depressing…

Hey guys, normally I liveblog these big events…and I will be over at MelissaClouthier.com. My internet connection is slow and I won’t be able to run back and forth as easily. I am sitting here in a room overlooking Time’s Square with interesting people. Chris Cox is here. We’ll see how it goes.

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard outlines the looming danger if the results of this election are as expected: It is not just that the Democrats will win a crushing victory in both houses of Congress, perhaps reaching the 60-seat Senate threshold that lets them steam-roll legislation. It is also that the incoming class of 2008 is of a […]

As the great Yogi Berra put it, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” Polls historically err in favor of Democrats. This is particularly true of exit polls. The mainstream media has become for all intents and purposes the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. Using polls, it will try to convince you Obama has won […]

Imagine telling this guy that you voted to make Barack Obama the Commander in Chief, and to give Iraq back to the terrorists. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

Just a note: My nail guy escaped communist Vietnam and the guy I buy shoes from immigrated from socialist Holland. Both are stunned that America might vote for Barack Obama. Both view him as a socialist. Barack Obama is a…. Socialist Capitalist    pollcode.com free polls

Chicago Boyz reminds us that Obamunism has already been tried in America. It was used to create the Rust Belt: In 1950, America produced 51% of the GNP for the entire world. Of that production, roughly 70% took place in the eight states surrounding the Great Lakes: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and […]

What the heck. I’ll just start a rolling voter “irregularities” post and add to it. Goodness knows, it’s going to be filled to the brim before this is all over. I’d like to remind you that only 18% of Americans have confidence in the electoral system. Hmmmmm…. I wonder why? Glenn Reynolds has been all […]

Townhall’s Amanda Carpenter reports problems in Philadelphia: GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in at least half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status. A Pennsylvania judge previously ruled that court-appointed poll watchers could be NOT removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, but […]

This is my niece who resides in the swing-state of Florida. She’s got the right idea, dontcha think? Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

Tonight, starting at 6 PM EST or so, I will begin doing a slow, rolling liveblog of the election as news breaks or every 30 minutes or so. If any big news breaks before then, I’ll certainly chime in. PS: After much consideration, I decided not to handicap House races this year. Perhaps because the […]

Yesterday, I put up a poll asking how many of RWN’s readers are going to vote and I was a little surprised at the results, Have you voted yet? Yes, I have already voted: 41% No, I’m voting Election Day: 56% No, I’m not voting: 3% So, 97% of RWN’s readers vote? There’s another reason […]

In 2004, the first exit polls that came out showed Kerry winning Ohio by 4 and Florida by 3 and he lost both states. Those same leaked poll numbers showed Kerry winning Pennsylvania by 20 points when he ultimately only won it by 51% to 49%. Long story short: it would be more unusual for […]

Well, he’s done it before: What is wrong with him? It’s like he’s twelve. He could be the President, it would be nice if he acted like it. Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

Yesterday my friend and I volunteered for the McCain campaign in Virginia. Here are a few short stories from my time out in the field and at the national headquarters making phone calls: Former RNC Chairman and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson, seen above, stopped by the national headquarters to thank all the volunteers for […]

Mark Steyn points to this Ed Driscoll quote: When the MSM moans about the gallons of red ink it’s spilled since 2001, it needs to ask itself if it’s prepared to actually report the news, in a fashion that interests readers, or if it exists as a non-profit ideological support system. The focus of the […]

If there is one type beyond the farthest reaches of progressive tolerance, it is the normal, decent American. Liberal hatred for people like Sarah Palin and Joe Wurzelbacher is nothing short of satanic. Here’s San Franfreakshow Obamunist, homosexual activist, HuffPo scribbler, and liberal radio yapper Charles Karel Bouley (aka “Karel”) calling for the death of […]

Over at the Daily Telegraph, Piers Akerman asks, Some people who have had the opportunity to meet Obama during the campaign have told me they are concerned what a Democrat victory will mean for Australia. They say in conversation he showed an extraordinary naivete about economics, one describing his views as Cuban circa 1960; his […]

Jeffrey Hart correctly criticizes the nonsense of Bush’s nation-building schemes: Like the French radicals of 1790, Bush wanted to democratize Iraq, turn it, as he said in a speech at Whitehall, into a “beacon of liberty in the Middle East.” Now, Robespierre and the other radicals were criticized by Burke for wanting to turn France […]

John Fund, who has done yeoman’s work on election fraud in the United States (RWN interview here), has a new piece detailing something that Democrats implausibly keep claiming doesn’t exist: phony voter registrations that have turned into people legally registered to vote: Larry Lomax, the chief elections officer in Las Vegas, responded that the group’s […]

China has now destroyed Western hopes for a new global warming agreement, just weeks before global talks in Poland aimed at writing a successor for the Kyoto Protocol– which expires in 2012. China has attached a ransom not to its Polish meeting RSVP: They might go along with a new warming pact if the rich […]

The extreme hatred liberals feel for Sarah Palin is largely the result of being whipped into a frenzy by the moonbat propagandists of the MSM, who demonize her because they see her as a threat and want her destroyed. Just like there is nothing real to like about Obama, there is nothing real to dislike […]

The average person in the U.S. distrusts the mainstream media because it’s essentially an arm of the Obama campaign and the average person distrusts the new media because it leans ideologically in the other direction. So, average people look for clues to figure out what to believe and if they’re not sure about something, they […]

On Tuesday of last week, I wrote a piece called Building A Rightroots Movement that generated a lot of blog posts, emails, and instant messages. So, I wanted to do a follow-up post today to cover some of the things that have been brought up in the last few days, The “Blog Guy” I worked […]
