A lot of the pundits are looking at the polls and the race in general and comparing it to past presidential races. I created a computer program to tell us what the results would have been if the polling ratios in this year’s polls were applied to historic models of past presidential elections. The results are interesting. […]

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 […]

‘While America flounders, the President campaigns. We deserve better.’ BOWLING GREEN, KY – In the Weekly Republican Address, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) says many of the nation’s problems could have been solved if President Obama had worked with congressional Republicans. “Together we could fix entitlements,” he says. “Even in an election year, I’ve offered […]

With Americans facing the largest tax hike in U.S. history and the Pentagon facing defense cuts the Secretary of Defense says would be “devastating,” with not a single appropriations bill passed in the Senate and with more than 3 years without a budget, Senate Democrats are of course ignoring all of these things today and instead […]

This op-ed in the Washington Post supports a thoroughly bad idea: Repeal or substantial repeal of the American Servicemembers Protection Act (ASPA): Next month’s anniversary is an appropriate time for Congress to review U.S. policy toward the court and whether the restrictions (including the authorization to invade The Hague) in the American Service-Members’ Protection Act […]

Trying to find any sense in President Obama’s stunning rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline and the 20,000 jobs it would have created, columnist Robert Samuelson writes today, “It isn’t often that a president makes a decision that has no redeeming virtues and — beyond the symbolism — won’t even advance the goals of the […]

The Secret Service is investigating after an effigy of President Obama was found hanging in the hometown of former President Jimmy Carter.
It was a disturbing reminder of another era, reports Tara Mergener of CBS News affiliate WALB-TV; a large black doll hanging by a noose from a building on main street.

Senator Ken Cuccinelli is running for Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you have any doubts that he is by far the best candidate for the office, take a spin around the liberal blogs. These people are wetting their pants and frothing at the mouth at the prospect of Cuccinelli becomming the Attorney General.
Early on, prior to the Republican Primary last May, I had some concerns about Cuccinelli’s Conservative credentials. He actually voted to uphold Governor Tim Kaine’s veto of efforts to repeal Triggerman Rule. This rule made it more difficult to charge both of the Beltway snipers with a Capital crime.

Ok, I know that Delegate Phil Hamilton has said he did something that, in retrospect, he should not have done. Everyone seems to have their knickers in a bind. If only he had done something minor, like driving off of a bridge and leaving a woman to drown while he wondered off in a drunken stupor. Or ran a male prostitution ring out of his home. Or failed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
