Back in January of 2012, I interviewed Mia Love. Here’s: how it begins. Ever heard of Mia Love? If you haven’t yet, no worries, because you will. She’s a rising conservative star in Utah. She’s the daughter of Haitian immigrants, was the first black mayor in Utah, and would be the first black woman ever to […]

It’s easy to imagine how embarrassing a show like: Jersey Shore: must be: to the average resident of New Jersey. There are undoubtedly tens of millions: of Americans whose image of the state has been formed by a reality TV show: that portrays people who live in Jersey as trashy, herpes-infested skanks and: braindead layabouts who don’t have anything on their […]

This election actually comes down to one key question: Who’s right about the partisan breakdown of the election? Is it: Gallup and Rasmussen: that say it leans toward the GOP? Two pollsters, Gallup and Rasmussen Reports, are projecting Republican voters to have a slight advantage on November 6 over Democratic voters. When they add likely voters leaning […]

If Mitt Romney wins, the only thing better than watching MSNBC on election night may bereading stories like this one.. David Plouffe, one of President Obama’s top campaign strategists, has a word for supporters he feels are needlessly fretful: bed wetters. “Oh, I think I’m worse than that,” Kay Edelman said.

Even for a Congressman, Alan Grayson is a horrible human being. He’s a habitually crude, nasty, unpleasant creep who gets his way because he has a lot of money – and he doesn’t even hide it well. This is not the sort of guy you’d want to go to a ballgame with or even be […]

Over the last few months, there has been a raging debate over the demographics that most of the pollsters are using both nationally and in state polls. As the race has narrowed down the stretch, this has become particularly relevant in Ohio, which is likely to be the decisive state if the election turns out […]

As a general rule, you get a much better read of a poll by looking at the top line numbers instead of digging down into the crosstabs. However, it has become a bigger issue this year because so many pollsters have been slanting their numbers towards Obama. They’re just starting to tighten things up now, […]

The government takes your tax dollars, wastes a ridiculous portion of them, and: then doles them out inefficiently. New data compiled by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee shows that, last year, the United States spent over $60,000 to support welfare programs per each household that is in poverty. The calculations are based on […]

There are stupid ideas and then there’s: this. President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are among the politicians whose past criticisms of the Electoral College system would draw new scrutiny if there is a split verdict in this year’s presidential election. National and swing state polls suggest it’s possible Republican Mitt Romney could win […]
