Virginia Right!

This photo of the word “ROMNEY” written on a New Jersey beach submitted by Twitchy gave me the hook to talk about something I think could happen Tuesday, and it would be a shocker:  New Jersey goes for Mitt Romney!  Maybe Connecticut, too.  And it’s all Sandy’s fault (That’s Sandy the Super Storm not Sandy [...]

I have been watching the polls with a keen interest of late. As I look into the Cross Tabs and Demographics of the numerous polls that seem to favor Obama, what I find is that the polls sample Democrats at a much higher rate than is reasonably believable.

I heard from an activist in Rochester, MN that this large city of 107,000 or so, has decided NOT to RENEW its membership in the unconstitutional ICLEI.  (I’d like to say it was the city leaders’ finding out Sandy was behind the scenes helping that caused them to act but it is surely NOT!  All [...]

Jane Jamison is a pseudonym adopted by this conservative stalwart who lived ‘behind enemy lines’ in uber-liberal San Francisco.

Well, so much for the live blogging on Hurricane Irene. A little after 3:30 PM Yesterday, the power went out and it may be a few days before it is restored. After a long, LOUD, hot and sticky night, dawn finally arrived and I had the opportunity to assess the damage. No power. Already knew [...]

This is significant. President Obama has now dropped below 39% in the latest Gallup poll. As the Independent voters abandon him in droves, the Liberals were not far behind. And for the Progressives, the once promising career has faded into a ghost image on some long forgotten teleprompter. As the Republicans took center stage the [...]

First I want to thank the millions of voters, activists, candidates, bloggers, contributors and others who made it possible for my favorite Democrat, Rep.
