Some reaction to Palin’s speech from the left. Here’s Michael Crowley at TNR’s “The Stump”: Several moderate-Democrat friends of mine have been emailing–few if any would ever vote for McCain–but all agree that Palin was very strong. The more liberal among them are a little panicked. I completely misjudged how negative she would be. Her […]

A friend emailed me yesterday to talk shop about Sarah Palin. Among other things, he said, “I still think she’s laughably unqualified. If McCain’s health falters, do I really want her to be president? It would look like a bad 80’s sitcom.” When I replied that I was excited that Sarah Palin was energizing the […]

From Fred Kaplan at Slate, “At times like these, I’m relieved that I don’t cover elections. There’s bum DNA in my heart, and the agita might send me keeling over. How else to react to the sight of sophisticated people saying, with impressively straight faces, that Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice president–even president–because […]

When George Bush came into office, there were plenty of conservatives who wanted him to go after Clinton. But Bush, being Bush, wanted to strike “a new tone.” Did he get any credit for bucking a lot of people in his party and trying to avoid partisan strife? No, not one iota. In fact, to […]

Since no one seems to pay much attention to the 8-9 time slot, I’m going to ignore it as well and just focus on the key speeches in the 9-11 timeslot. Michael Steele: He gave a short, enthusiastic, serviceable “B-” speech that may have helped shore up a few conservatives who were soft on McCain […]

I’ve been blogging since 2001 and the reaction to last night’s speech was the most positive I have ever seen from righty bloggers in that entire time. It was a huge speech with a lot on the line and conservative bloggers seemed to believe that Palin delivered everything people could have hoped for — and […]

Sarah America destroyed everything in her path last night. You just gotta watch this…

I’m very excited to hear what Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin has to say to the crowd at the GOP Convention–and to America as a whole–later this evening. Some food for though, before the speech begins, from New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser: HOLY hoop skirts: When did the clock tick back to 1958? When Joe […]

Do ya (getting ready for the Alaskan accent) really think I’d miss this? Come on now! Be here or be square! The party starts in less than an hour. Go get yer beer and moose burger and get comfy in your Lazy-Boy. It’s going to be fun. 7:54 CST Other people live blogging The Anchoress […]

How badly might all of this negativity about Gov. Palin backfire on the media and the Democrats? Well first look at the “sampler” of what passes for objective media analysis this week: Here is a sampler of media comment on Governor Palin this week: – Eleanor Clift, the McLaughlin Group: “If the media reaction is […]

A local affiliate of CBS is suggesting just that: Lieberman could lose his Homeland Security Committee chairmanship. Right now the Democrats need him to hold the majority, but if they pick up seats in the fall all bets are off. It’s most unusual for a Democrat to get the prime speaking spot at a Republican […]

Let’s give credit where credit is due, shall we? The press’ job is to get Barack Obama elected and who is Barack to stop them? Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com where it’s the Palin Nation today. Yes, I just coined that.

The morally monstrous campaign to attack Sarah Palin through her 17-year-old daughter has the blessing of Congressman and liberal icon Barney Frank (D-MA), who declares that Bristol Palin’s private affairs are fair game for campaign propaganda. Lisps Frank: They’re the ones that made an issue of her family. […] Apparently she’s a great favorite with […]

Via Instapundit, Michelle Cottle and Christopher Orr of The New Republic caution Democrats and the media (ah, heck, why do I even bother to separate them?): Watching Palin operate over the past few years has been like witnessing a dramatic reading of All the King’s Men. In 2002, Murkowski had interviewed but passed over Palin […]

Liberals continue to be surprisingly forthcoming regarding their contempt for truth and honor, and their willingness to resort to tactics no decent person would employ. It’s as if they don’t realize you don’t have to be a moonbat to access their websites. Earlier we heard this from an enlightened progressive at Democratic Underground who approves […]

Many people, especially liberals, have been puzzled by Barack Obama’s inability to pull ahead of John McCain. We’re less than 100 days out from the election and yet, if the vote were today, it would be anybody’s ball game. That’s despite the fact that George Bush is unpopular, Democrats seem to be more motivated than […]

Hey, it would be really great if you could click on a few of my advertisers to show them that advertising on Right Wing News pays off for them. The more clicks they get, the better value they get for their money, the more likely they are to advertise here again… Link #1 Link #2 […]

Day 1 of the GOP convention was wiped out because of Gustav and perhaps because they feared to get too partisan, too fast, Day 2 mostly focused on building up McCain and Palin. There was a little red meat here and there, but it wasn’t the main thrust of the evening. The first big speech […]

When Hillary’s fans complained about the incredible amount of sexism on the Left, I took it with a grain of salt. However, the ridiculous, over-the-top misogyny and general contempt for women — that has been displayed by liberals, including liberals in the mainstream media, since Sarah Palin has been selected — has been so absolutely […]

Last night, I did my first show with BlogTalkRadio. It ran 30 minutes and my guests were Dr. Melissa Clouthier, who also blogs at her own blog, Lorie Byrd, a columnist for Townhall who also blogs at Wizbang, and Ericka Anderson from Bill Bennett ‘s Culture11. We talked about Sarah Palin, the convention, and the […]

With everything that’s happened in the last week, it’s little wonder that something went largely unnoticed: the U.S. military turned over control of the Anbar province to the people of Iraq. The New York Times (yes, that New York Times) was one of the few outlets to report the terrific news:   On Monday, following a parade on a freshly paved street, American commanders […]
