While all the national and state polls out since the first presidential candidate debate have been going Obama’s way, one poll out today is bucking the trend. And I am really surprised at which poll it is – the ABC News/Washington Post poll from after the debate. As with all polls it is more important […]

There is more reporting on the growing Pakistan Tribal Awakening in the heart of the region thought to be the center of Taliban and al-Qaeda sanctuary.  First this report: Intensive Pakistani military action in the border areas has emboldened several tribes to turn against Taliban militants. The Salarzai tribe in Bajaur, where the military is […]

Some great news out of the tribal regions of Pakistan: The leader of Pakistan’s Taliban, Baitullah Mehsud, is dead from kidney failure, sources told CNN. The Pakistan government blamed Mehsud for the December 27, 2007, assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. An unnamed Islamabad-based source with connections within the Mehsud tribe in South Waziristan […]

First we have Nancy Pelosi giving a highly partisan pre-vote speech to enrage the GOP and try and get them to move to the exits – which, actually they didn’t, their numbers did not move that much at all. It was either the dumbest move on the planet to obtain bipartisan support – or a […]

Oh pullleeease: Political scientists today who study what’s called the “new racism” say, however, that while the underlying stereotypes remain, what’s new is how they are expressed (or rather notexpressed) publicly. Because social scorn attends public expressions of overt racism, neoracists are more subtle: For instance, they may talk about “welfare spending” and support “school choice” […]

Update: Let me pull some killer comments from SBD’s latest update all right after the dems took Congress in 2006: First of all, Fannie Mae Freddie Mac, these are two companies, that have been closely tied to the Democratic Party. I think is the best way to put it. And they’ve been under a regulatory […]

McCain-Palin took on Katie Couric and put in her place. What is interesting is McCain was demonstrating to Palin how hard you can push back, which is probably the only bit of advice she really needed. I think the liberal media has set expectations so low Palin will shine through. Remember, she represents a lot […]

Obama lost control of his herd when Nancy Pelosi got up before a critical vote requiring broad bi-partisan support and let lose with typical DC hyper-partisan finger pointing (you can see the video here). Why did she tank a bipartisan bailout with partisan sniping? Is she really that dumb – or is she that calculating […]

Jay Cost at RCP points out a few slivers of hope in the poll numbers: First, the number of undecided voters has increased in the last three weeks, from a low of 6.3% of the electorate on 9/8 to 8.8% last night. Second, the polls themselves have been very volatile this month. The Gallup tracking […]

The liberal media has been taking a pounding for years now. Some of their crowning acheivements were RaThergate and The Downing Street Memos, where they used cooked up false evidence (in the second case self made) as news to try and promote their political agendas. They also exposed critical national security efforts in a grotesque […]
