20) Basil Marceaux: Meet the Republican Alvin Greene, Basil Marceaux, who ran for governor of Tennessee: 19) The Republican Trainwreck In The Colorado Governor’s Race: Initially, Tom Tancredo looked like a jackass when he mounted a third party campaign in the Colorado governor’s race. However, after Dan Maes turned out to be a flaky, lying, […]

Weird Liberal Ideas: The Fact That The Blue Dogs Got Creamed Proves The Party Shouldn’t Move To The Center

Posted on November 4, 2010November 4, 2010 by John Hawkins

Since the Blue Dogs are moderate and got slaughtered on Tuesday, it proves that the Democratic Party shouldn’t move to the middle. That theory may make no sense, but, it’s ALL OVER the liberal blogs. It’s hard to tell whether that means they’re dishonest or just not very smart, but it really does have to […]

Notable Reactions To Last Night’s Election In Quotes

Posted on November 3, 2010November 3, 2010 by John Hawkins

Our team hit a grand slam tonight — the opening salvo in the war to take back our country from this illegal ruling class. America unshackled! OBAMA REBUKED. Pelosi fired! The Republicans completely seized control of the House — REPUBLICANS TAKE 65 SEATS IN THE HOUSE. Historic. Never write off America. — Atlas Shrugs I […]

A Few Post Election Thoughts

Posted on November 3, 2010November 3, 2010 by John Hawkins

* As of 5 AM, the GOP has picked up 61 seats and there are another 14 left to be called. On the Senate side, we’ve picked up 6 seats and we’re waiting for the final numbers in Alaska and Washington. I predicted a 70-80 gain for the GOP in the House and a 7-9 […]

The Results Of The Conservative Blogger Google Bomb

Posted on November 3, 2010November 3, 2010 by John Hawkins

Chris Bowers over at the Daily Kos organized a Google Bomb — that he didn’t call a Google Bomb — against GOP candidates. He got some attention for it, although I’m not sure how effective it was. Their system for pushing it seemed confusing, they didn’t talk about it all that much on the blog, […]

A Quick And Dirty Guide To How All The High Profile Races You Care About Turned Out

Posted on November 3, 2010November 3, 2010 by John Hawkins

This was done by state, using the data available late last night. In some cases, the votes were still being counted. Alabama: Roby (R) 51% vs. Bright (D) 49% Alaska: Miller (R) 35% vs. Murkowski (I) 40% vs. McAdams (D) 24% Arizona: Quayle (R) 53% vs. Hulburd 41% Arizona: Schweikert (R) 53% vs. Mitchell 42% […]

Quasi-Liveblogging The Election Results

Posted on November 2, 2010December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

6:05: My final predictions. 70-80 seats in the House and 7-9 seats in the Senate. That 70-80 range puts me above pretty much all of the big name prognosticators out there including Rothenberg, Cook, Silver, Barone etc. So, I may very well looking like a goat when the night is over, but I do think […]

20 Key Competitive Races To Watch Today

Posted on November 2, 2010November 2, 2010 by John Hawkins

Sharron Angle (R) vs. Harry Reid (D) (Nevada): Knocking off Harry Reid? It would be like a beautiful dream — and Angle is ahead. Lou Barletta (R) vs. Paul Kanjorski (D) (PA-12): Barletta is a ferocious opponent of illegal immigration and it would be outstanding to see him make it into Congress. Dan Benishek (R) […]

Explaining Why The Democrats Will Be Obliterated Today In 7 Quotes

Posted on November 2, 2010November 13, 2010 by John Hawkins

If you ask the Left, they’ll give you every excuse in the book for why they’re going to get their brains beaten out today. The economy is bad, Obama cooperates too much with the Republicans, the American people are irrational, it’s Bush’s fault — it goes on and on. What you will very seldom hear […]

Final Analysis Of All The Key Senate Races

Posted on November 1, 2010November 1, 2010 by John Hawkins

All races not listed here can be assumed to be holds for the party that already has the seat. So, for example, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Dan Coats, Rob Port, and Kelly Ayotte all look to be cruising towards easy wins. Here are the other key races to watch. State: North Dakota Seat Currently Held […]

Drudge-Fu: The Colbert And Stewart Edition

Posted on November 1, 2010December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Matt Drudge has a cutting sense of humor and when he wants to lay into someone, he can do it extremely well with nothing more than a picture and an ostensibly straight headline. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert could tell you all about it:

Tomorrow night, I’ll be covering the election results right here on RWN from 6 PM until midnight. So, why not head over to RWN and remember November with your fellow conservatives as we enjoy a triumphant night cannonballing into pools of salty, liberal tears! C’mon — it’ll be a blast!

The Sexist Left’s Mafia Mentality When It Comes To Conservative Women: The Christine O’Donnell Edition

Posted on October 29, 2010October 29, 2010 by John Hawkins

One you have to understand about politics is that the Left’s extraordinarily vicious, misogynistic attacks on women like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and Christine O’Donnell are not just about them personally. When it comes to conservative women, Ann Althouse summed it up well when I interviewed her for a RWN piece […]

The Democrats Want Ivan’s Goat To Die

Posted on October 29, 2010October 29, 2010 by John Hawkins

There’s a little parable that perfectly sums up the politics of envy that has consumed the Democratic Party. They don’t care about creating opportunities for people to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. They have no interest in making it easier for people to better themselves. Instead, all you hear about from the Democrats […]

This Week In Quotes: 10/22 – 10/28

Posted on October 29, 2010 by John Hawkins

It is not enough for the insecure left to deem a position wrong; if it’s merely wrong, it needs to be argued about, and it can’t survive that. It must instead be morally aborrent, so that the zealot reacts to the toxin of questioning much like a jogger coming across a decomposing body on the […]

The Faster Government Moves, The Slower America Goes

Posted on October 28, 2010October 28, 2010 by John Hawkins

Barack Obama met with some liberal bloggers and there’s now a transcript of the conversation available. Most of it’s dull stuff, but one particular comment from Obama jumped out at me: I will say that as just an observer of our political process that if we do not fix how the filibuster is used in […]

Gallup: 1994 Ain’t Got Nothin’ On 2010

Posted on October 28, 2010December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Republicans have been saying “Remember November” all year long and we’re finally about to get there. So, how’s it looking right before the big day? Most of the prognosticators seem to be predicting gains of around 50 seats for the GOP. Although I’ll be doing some more research this week-end and coming out with a […]

The David Bossie Interview: Talking Vince Foster’s Suicide, Swift Boat Vets, Conservative Women, & Obama’s Least Favorite Supreme Court Case

Posted on October 28, 2010October 28, 2010 by John Hawkins

David Bossie is a fascinating guy. He runs Citizens United which makes great conservative movies and was at the center of a crucial Supreme Court Case that dealt with free speech and campaign contributions. But don’t just peg Bossie as a career think tanker; he was also one of the people who investigated Whitewater and […]

Obama Accidentally Gets Something Right

Posted on October 27, 2010October 27, 2010 by John Hawkins

“My name may not be on the ballot, but our agenda for moving forward is on the ballot, and I need everybody to turn out.” — Barack Obama If you listen to conservatives talking about the Bush years, you’ll generally get an earful about how the GOP screwed things up. In other words, the primary […]

How The Media Deals With Wackos: Tim Profitt Vs. Ian Rotunno

Posted on October 27, 2010October 27, 2010 by John Hawkins

If you want to watch how the mainstream media twists and distorts the news to fit its preconceived ideological biase, you could do worse than looking at how acts of political violence are covered. Every so often, some kook does something deranged and violent over a political issue. If the kook in question happens to […]

5 Last Minute Republican Longshots

Posted on October 27, 2010October 27, 2010 by John Hawkins

Now, when I say these are longshots? I meant it. It’s entirely possible that all five of the races I’m about to describe to you could go to the Democrats. That being said, the wind blowing at the back of the GOP is about as strong as it can get so if there’s ever a […]

Add Tattoo Artists To The List Of People You Don’t Want Angry At You

Posted on October 26, 2010December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

There are certain people it’s particularly wise to avoid conflict with — at least until you don’t need them anymore. For example, you never want to mouth off to your barber before he cuts your hair. It’s also wise to be extremely polite to your waitress before she brings you your food. The last thing […]

No Headstomping Or Footstomping Allowed In Kentucky Or Anywhere Else

Posted on October 26, 2010October 26, 2010 by John Hawkins

Last night at the Rand Paul vs. Jack Conway debate, a couple of extremely unfortunate incidents occurred. The worst of the two involved a Move-On member who wanted to present Rand Paul with some silly made-up award. This didn’t sit well with some crazies who were attending the event and not only was she wrestled […]

The Year Of The Republican Woman: 7 Key Races

Posted on October 26, 2010November 13, 2010 by John Hawkins

For too long, conservatives have allowed the misogynistic party of Bill Clinton to portray itself as “the party of women.” But when even the National Organization of Women approves of sexual harassment as long as it’s done by Democrats and refers to Republican women like Meg Whitman as whores, the time is ripe for a […]

So We’re Now Willing To Admit WMDs Were Found In Iraq Because Wikileaks Says So?

Posted on October 25, 2010October 25, 2010 by John Hawkins

If the CIA had done its job and killed Julian Assange, there probably wouldn’t have been a huge new WikiLeaks document dump that may get even more Iraqis murdered for the terrible crime of helping the United States. Still, the info is out there and one surprising development has been how many liberals are now […]

Fisking Lefty Academics In Berkeley Trying To Make Sense Of The Tea Party Movement

Posted on October 25, 2010October 25, 2010 by John Hawkins

Dave Weigel over at Slate has done a great piece on an academic conference at Berkeley. What was it about? They call it the “Tea Party Conference.” A bunch of Berkeleyites trying to figure out Tea Partiers? It was every bit as much of a hot mess as you’d imagine. Let’s get started with an […]

7 Days Out: Analysis Of All The Key Senate Races

As you read these run-downs, keep in mind that a lot of movement is still possible in the final week. Voters are now going to be fully engaged, the campaigns are spending the last of their war chests on ads, and the ground game is just starting to roll. Look for RWN’s final analysis on […]

Least Shocking Study Results Of The Day: Muslim Treatment Of Women Stinks

Posted on October 22, 2010 by John Hawkins

One of the reasons that most Islamic societies are backward and will remain backward for the foreseeable future is the way that they treat women. Sure, you can argue that things aren’t perfect for women in the Western world. But, if you compare the treatment of women in a country like say the United States […]
