I have been somewhat fascinated in an admiring way about the campaign of Dr. Larry Lessig for the Democratic nomination for President. I wrote earlier about the campaign and how I have some significant disagreements with his platform. But I admire what he is trying to do – raise these structural issues to the fore […]

Here is what I am told is on the front page of the Virginian-Pilot with a nice picture of the candidate: Robert Sarvis wants Virginia voters to know they’ve got another option. Trouble is, he doesn’t have a very big megaphone. *** It comes down to dollars, or lack of them: Cuccinelli and McAuliffe together […]

I had been hearing soundings for several days about a Robert Sarvis Money Bomb and now I can report: It’s here. Money will certainly help the Libertarian standard-bearer in two ways: It gets his message out and it raises his polling numbers and overall viability to get in the debates. I in fact heard at […]

Democrat Terry McAuliffe is running for governor of Virginia. Again. If at first you don’t succeed …. But Virginians have been after him for months to know the truth about his failed GreenTec car company, his Tax Returns and why he refuses to debate Republican Candidate Ken Cuccinelli. You remember that Terry McAuliffe called Barack […]

Speaking on the Senate floor this morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said, “Inauguration Day is also a time for new beginnings, a chance to learn from the mistakes and missed opportunities of the past as we re-engage in some vitally important debates about our future. Too often over the past four years, political considerations have trumped […]

Ah, September! It’s one of the more interesting months, somehow not quite summer but not quite Autumn.It’s a transition month between the two, a time for ramping things up as we head for the year’s end. And that’s never more true than in an election year. The conventions, watched by one of the smallest audiences […]

The Senate is considering what seems on its face like a non-controversial UN treaty: the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. But it is controversial or it ought to be! I have blogged on this before. (Remember Sandy’s rule on UN Treaties: Bad UN law is repetitious!) But as Heritage Foundation testified today […]

Do you remember the debate where Texas Governor Rick Perry accused Mitt Romney of removing a passage from his book stating that Romney thought that RomneyCare should be a model for the nation? It went like this: PERRY: “Well, I’m listening to you, Mitt, and I’m hearing you say all the right things. But I […]

Republican Presidential hopeful Ron Paul and his supporters have complained that the media has been ignoring Paul. And they are correct. Despite fairly high placement throughout the primary debates, Paul has been asked very little and had few moments in the debates in which to answer questions. And Paul and his supporters have rightly criticized […]

I knew the Young Turk Kwasi Kwarteng would distinguish himself in Parliament. I figured it might be months or years but in Kwarteng’s maiden speech he came out firing ideas. No fluff speech here!
