I find it positive that a lot of Democrats reacted with shock and a touch of ‘what are we doing?’ in response to the results in Massachusetts. But in general I can see the Dems are going to put the pedal to the metal and drive over the cliff because they still don’t get the [...]

As I have learned more and more about the ‘science’ and ‘math’ that is the foundation of the man-made global warming (AGW) theory, the more I realize how amateurish that science and math really is. For those of us who deal day in and day out in complex physical systems, driven by multiple natural forces [...]

I have been scanning some of the post mortems on the MA Special Election earthquake, and I have pulled a few as the ones I see as the most important. Many on the right and left will not be comforted by these observations, but that is what happens when we learn from upheaval. First, I [...]

America is a centrist nation. It some areas it leans center left and in others center right. In strange pockets knitted together by gerrymandering there are instances of far right and far left cults. But these are false images of America – as we just saw in Massachusetts yesterday. America has a comfort zone and [...]

The RNC has released an internal poll, prior to the polls closing in MA, showing Brown up by 8%. I think the reason this poll is coming out is the fact that 79% of MA voters want the winner seated immediately, which will possibly round 2 of the MA election battles.

Boy, the news media is not mincing words on the Dems flame out: Early indications are that there is large turnout in today’s Massachusetts special election, CBS Station WBZ-TV Political Analyst Jon Keller reported on “Washington Unplugged” today. And the masses aren’t there to vote for Democrat Martha Coakley, he speculated. Ouch! Enjoy Watch CBS News [...]

After a year of Americans feeling economically vulnerable and insecure, and after the Senate made good on the liberal threat to remake all our health care policies (which 70% of us are just fine with), it is a interesting but not surprising to hear from both camps in the MA Special Election that the Christmas [...]

Mary Katherine Hamm shares some observations which don’t bode well for Coakley. This waiting for real data is killing me. Update: The MA Sec of State is confirming turnout is ‘brisk’ more so in the suburban and rural areas (Brown), he expects the cities to see a late wave (Coakley). Seems Coakley just doesn’t have [...]

Looks like the vaunted Dem GOTV is getting Brown voters out to the polls, Geraghty’s sources say the Brown canvassers are seeing the same thing. Coakley cannot win if she loses 20-25% of Dems, 60+% of Indies and her side is in the doldrums. In fact, she can’t avoid a stunning defeat. I still doubt [...]

I should have realized those numbers looked familair – these are those bell weather poll numbers from Sunday. I really hate liars and have no time to check out each post. I have no idea regarding the credibility of these exit polls, so take them with a grain of salt and do not relax or [...]

Today in Massachusetts our friends, neighbors, family members and fellow Americans from that great state will have their say for all of us. The Political Industrial Complex (PIC) – inhabited by the two parties’ top politicians along with all those career staffers, lobbyists, consultants, news media cronies and talking heads – has been pounding us [...]

If the MA bell weather cities are any indication then Brown will win in a landslide (as I predicted): The bellwether polling, conducted Saturday, Jan. 16, and Sunday, Jan. 17, shows: • Brown (55 percent) leads Coakley (40 percent) by 15 points in Gardner. Independent candidate Joseph L. Kennedy polls 2 percent, while 3 percent [...]
