Michelle Malkin and Ace of Spades are both enraged by what Ace calls the “kneecapping” of Sarah Palin by Team Maverick staffers. I’ve said from the get-go that her PR was mishandled, and just offered this example at AmSpecBlog: Michelle Malkin has been a huge advocate and defender of Sarah Palin. Between Michelle’s own site […]

Michelle Malkin: “I’m getting a lot of moan-y, sad-face “What do we do now, Michelle?” e-mails. The first thing to do is to recognize what went wrong, as I explain in my American Spectator column: Try not to take it personally. You did not lose this election.

It is hard to imagine a more disastrous presidency than that of George W. Bush. It was bad enough that he […]

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. — An icy rain didn’t stop thousands from turning out for a McCain-Palin rally this morning in Hershey, Pa., and they were fired up by John McCain’s never-say-die speech. “Let me give you the state of the race today,” the candidate said. “There’s one week to go.
