Tonight will be interesting to watch, to see if the great communicator can snow America’s centrist voters into drinking the Kool-Aid one more time with charades and misrepresented ‘nice talk’. The stakes are huge, as this new NPR poll illustrate clearly: The poll holds plenty of danger signs for the Democrats. In one indicator studied […]

They claim there is something in the water here in DC, has been for decades. Something that turns normal, well meaning human beings into arrogant idiots (a nasty combination if there ever was one). It doesn’t happen to everyone, but it happens to a lot them. The Watergate idiocy, Clinton’s intern problem, congressional bribes and […]

Last month, as was noted here and many other places, the national unemployment rate ‘stayed the same’ only because the workforce had shrunk due to so many people giving up on finding jobs. If a consistent workforce level had been used as the basis of the national numbers we would be closer to 11% instead […]

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 […]

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 […]
