Last week, I wrote my 2nd straight “Why conservatives should support McCain in November” column over at Townhall. The good news is that after the last column, the email I received probably ran about 8 out of 10 against voting for McCain. However, after the latest column, it flipped around and about 7 out of […]

So, how many times is Hillary Clinton going to weep in public? More importantly, since when is an emotionally unstable person who cries at the drop of a hat a good match for the single, most important and stressful job on earth? Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared to well up again during a campaign […]

A Short CPAC Interview With Will BreazealeAdd to My Profile | More Videos This is an impromptu interview that I did at CPAC with Will Breazeale. Breazeale is a conservative veteran, who has done three tours of duty in Iraq and is challenging the Democratic incumbent in district NC-07. This is a middle-of-the-road district that […]

* A reliable source dumped a hot rumor in my lap at CPAC, but asked that I wait until Monday to print it. The story? John Edwards is running for the Senate in North Carolina. If it turns out to be true, remember where you heard it first. * On Thursday night, I was hanging […]

The CPAC pics didn’t work out as well as I had hoped because I used a camcorder, instead of a camera, for pics. No lights + a dim basement that we were in =’s low quality pics at times. I also completely lost a pic of me and Mark Steyn, which really sucks. The next […]

Two liberal writers both wrestle with the creepiness that they perceive in the idolatry of Barack Obama. Joel Stein begs the Obamaphiles to just cool it. You are embarrassing yourselves. With your “Yes We Can” music video, your “Fired Up, Ready to Go” song, your endless chatter about how he’s the first one to inspire […]

The nomination is all but sealed up. There will be some interest about the VP pick. Then Republicans with any brains will line up — as they did for George H. W. Bush, for example, who we forget made quite a contrasting figure when compared to his boss — and work together to keep two […]

We all know by now about the contoversy surrounding MSNBC’s David Shuster and his allegation that Chelsea Clinton was being “pimped” by her family in order to drum up support for her mother. He’s apologized twice, been suspended, and along with that rec’d a strong rebuke from Senator Clinton herself. Someone else who has apologized […]

More comedy relief from the direct democracy crowd (via Politico) BATON ROUGE, LA — The Obama campaign submitted an urgent request for assistance to the Secretary of State’s Division of Elections today, after receiving widespread reports from Democrats across Louisiana who reported that they were not allowed to vote because their party affiliation had been […]

This gets more and more interesting by the day. Super Delegates – the Democratic Party’s manner of controlling the primary process while giving lip-service to “democracy” and the “power of the vote” – is about to get a significant test. And it is shaping up to be a new form of the same old power […]

I had this whole lame post written–you know how bad writing is an absolute struggle. I essentially wasted two hours on McCain-Huckabee analysis. Consensus: They both suck. Bottom line: McCain is the nominee. There might be two readers here for whom John McCain is their dream candidate. For the rest, the question before us is: […]

It really can’t get any better. For sh*ts and giggles: chimpymustgo – Skinner, please institute the thread limit ASAP. Please, we’re begging you! Remember when we had to post 3-4 paragraphs of actual THOUGHT in order to start a thread? That was back in 03. But things have gotten much worse than even those dark […]

As most of you know, Ezra Levant is the free speech hero who faced down Canada’s “Human Rights” tribunal, defended his right to publish the “Mohammed” cartoons — and uploaded video of his stirring defense to YouTube. A defamation lawyer himself, Levant has now started a sort of “bloggers defense league”, to defend bloggers against […]

Earlier tonight I was planning to head to the big $225 a seat Reagan banquet and one of the other bloggers had some friends who wanted to go, but they had no tickets. So, she asked me if I could hustle some up. No problem, I managed to score 3. Then another blogger, Skye from […]

Now, I know quite a few folks are not McCain fans, but, I offer this up as a hoot. John McCain cannot be elected president because he was not born on U.S. soil. I’m trying to hunt down where this originated, caught it on a forum I frequent. Will it gain traction? 7 FAM 1116.1-4 […]

Ann Coulter was not officially speaking at CPAC, but the YAF brought her in as a speaker. You had to get tickets in advance to get in and it was a hot ticket to have. She was speaking in a medium sized room and I kid you not, the line to get in stretched across […]

CafePress is one of the exhibitors at CPAC and according to them, “Voters are buying 56 times more anti-Hillary tees, buttons, bumpers and other products than all anti-GOP products…combined. Also, it’s interesting to note that t-shirt sales seem to track with political upsurges. For example, on 1/26/08, Hillary and Obama had about the same number […]

So, after lunch, I head over to catch Ace from Ace of Spades HQ getting a blogger of the year award. Ace runs a pretty wild blog, uses a lot of profanity, and so I’m thinking, “Hey, here’s a great opportunity for a ‘Coulter’ moment. Ace could come out wearing a Motorhead ‘Ace of Spades’ […]

The Politico has a post up about how the Democrats are moving swifty to take down McCain in the general election: Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is already moving to redefine the presumed Republican nominee. In a fundraising appeal sent out Wednesday, Dean called McCain “a media darling” and warned that “from Iraq to […]

This morning I got up at 4:15 AM to make it to the President’s 7:15 AM speech (you’re supposed to be there 2 hours early). There was a huge mob waiting in line when I got there at a little after 5 AM, but very little was happening beyond the Secret Service perusing the area. […]

Jay from Stop the ACLU had an interesting thought the other day, that perhaps McCain would select Thompson to be his running mate: I ask the question because it isn’t out of the question. They are good friends with a history. It would be a smart move on the Maverick’s part to stilt up his […]

“(Don’t let) the perfect (be) the enemy of the good.” — Voltaire I keep hearing conservatives say that if John McCain is the nominee — and barring a miracle, he will be at this point — that they’re going to sit out the election or even vote for the Democratic nominee because of “conservative principles.” […]

Happy Friday! The official Surrender Monkey of the Democrat Party welcomes you to the weekend, a time when the Democrat base switches from wine to hard liquor, and really works those on-line petitions for maximum affect, and get all their talking points in order The Surrender Monkey is high on hope. But, what is hope? […]

From Mitt’s presidential site Today, addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Governor Romney announced that he was suspending his presidential campaign for the sake of Republican unity and the future of our country. In 2008, Republicans must stand united if we are to prevent Senators Clinton and Obama from taking the White House. As […]

* First off, interesting detail: I mentioned earlier that McCain got a surprisingly good reception. Well, after talking to multiple people who got into the McCain event, I found out why that was and why the hall was packed so tightly that they couldn’t even fit all the media people in: They brought in a […]

Millions, that is. There’s lots of juicy Dem-side speculation here about where that money came from, where it didn’t, and whether it was necessary at all. I just find it so extraordinary that no one really finds it all that extraordinary that Senator Clinton has this kind of gelt lying around. Emily Yoffe comes up […]

There was an insane crush to get into the McCain event. We got into a special line, but there were at least 50 media people who were waiting and hundreds and hundreds of conference attendees who couldn’t get in either. Clarence Page was near us and I suggested to him that he should push through […]
