That’s what is going on with our current elected officials. More and more incumbents are at the end of their terms, either through retirement (i.e., reading the writing on the wall), or through primary races going on now. The latest to lose his seat is West Virginia representative Alan Mollohan, who has served for 28 [...]

Well, there’s all kinds of talk that Obama is going to push for the Nuclear Option, i.e., Reconciliation, pretty darn soon to pass his unfavorable Obamacare program. Yep, that seems to be the road of Change down which he is trying to take us (I wrote about the whole Reconciliation thing HERE). I have seen [...]

(Bumped up from last week.) I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds.

(bumped up by NoQuarter) Barack Obama has a coal problem. Responding to yesterday’s revelation that Barack Obama intends to bankrupt all plants that operate on energy generated from coal, Chris Hamilton, the Senior Vice President of the West Virginia Coal Association, called Obama’s comments in San Francisco “unbelievable.” I quote the West Virginia Record: The [...]

During the past several weeks, you’ve all seen John Fund on Fox News discussing the problem of voter fraud perpetrated by Acorn. As you probably also know, Mr. Fund has written a book, “Stealing Elections, Revised and Updated: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy.” In 20 minutes following publication of this story — at 3:00 [...]

Wyoming, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas, Montana, Illinois, Virginia, North Dakota, Colorado, Indiana, New Mexico, Utah, Ohio, Alabama and Arizona: these coal producing states will be adversely affected by Barack Obama’s energy policy.

During the primaries and up until the convention, many Obama supporters pushed the narrative that Hillary supporters had to go through the classic stages of grief before we accepted Obama. On Correntewire, Lambert writes that Josh Marshall and others: started running the “stages of grief” trope on Hillary supporters way back in February—you know, from [...]

In Monday’s Washington Post, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, is quoted as saying, “I think one of the things driving the national polls is that the red states are redder.” Is Axelrod right? Could it be McCain has energized his base but that Obama remains ahead? Using Electoral-Vote.com’s numbers, I created a list of red [...]

During the opening night of the Olympics, John McCain broadcast the following ad, titled “Painful”: I was struck by the high quality of the ad. It tweaks Obama’s celebrity status, and then unleashes a full-throttle class attack on Obama. “Life in the spotlight must be grand,” intones a woman’s voice, dropping her voice off for [...]

In our ongoing efforts to represent ALL of Hillary’s core constituency, we are including some particularly sharp commentary from two well known political analysts in Tennessee.

On Memorial Day, Senator Obama, trying to show some patriotism and solidarity with the military and Jews (except those in Israel), mentioned his grandfather’s service in the military and his uncle helping to liberate Auschwitz. Apparently, Senator Obama was also seeing “dead people” at the same time. Senator, whatever could you POSSIBLY be thinking? What [...]

Last Tuesday we had the immense pleasure of watching Senator Barack Obama lose big time in Kentucky. His campaign knew he was going to lose big. And that is why Senator Obama didn’t even bother to campaign there. But if that wasn’t enough of an insult to the Bluegrass State, Obama took it upon himself [...]

UPDATE via Taylor Marsh and Corrente Wire: “Clinton Election Juggernaut Accelerates“: After Hillary Clinton’s historic 41-point victory in the West Virginia primary, two questions loom: How long will Barak Obama cling to his shattered dreams of the presidency, and how much damage will be done to the Democratic Party by his stubborn and divisive refusal [...]
