“John Edwards Mocks Republicans For Being Afraid To Take Questions From Democrats”

Friday, November 30th, 2007

He said that on Olbermann last night. I guess irony is lost on these folks:
A Democratic candidates’ debate sponsored by Fox News that had been set for August in Reno, Nevada, was abruptly canceled Friday night with a statement from the Nevada Democratic Party and Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who is the majority leader [...]

“Hostages taken at Clinton N.H. office”

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Holy cow,
A man claiming to have a bomb walked in to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign offices Friday and took hostages, police and witnesses said.

Note how the MSM and Democrats in Congress have been relatively silent on this issue since a rather large break through in stem cell research was reported last week. Gee, I wonder why?
NADLER: President Bush has to decide whether he will condemn millions of people to death for lack of the ability to cure them [...]

Murtha’s comments on “the surge”: Pelosi is going to be furious

Friday, November 30th, 2007

This couldn’t happen to a nice group of people,
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), one of the leading anti-war voices in the House Democratic Caucus, is back from a trip to Iraq and he now says the “surge is working.” This could be a huge problem for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders, who are [...]

PEGGY NOONAN On The CNN/Youtube Debacle

Friday, November 30th, 2007

And media coverage generally,
I will never forget that breathtaking moment when, in the CNN/YouTube debate earlier this fall, the woman from Ohio held up a picture and said, “Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama, Mr. Edwards, this is a human fetus. Given a few more months, it will be a baby you could hold in your arms. [...]

Huckabee

Friday, November 30th, 2007

On illegal immigration, I’m not the only one who thinks Mike Huckabee would be almost as bad as el Presidente Jorge Arbusto:
Groups that support a crackdown on illegal aliens haven’t settled on their champion in the race for the White House, but there’s little doubt which Republican scares them most — former Arkansas Gov. Mike [...]

“Murtha finds military progress in trip to Iraq”

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I guess he’s got a willing suspension of disbelief,
U.S. Rep. John Murtha today said he saw signs of military progress during a brief trip to Iraq last week, but he warned that Iraqis need to play a larger role in providing their own security and the Bush administration still must develop an exit strategy.
“I think [...]

Uh-huh,

The Quarrel

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Slate’s ultra-liberal “chief political correspondent” sums up the quarrel between Giuliani and Romney:
The specifics of each candidate’s claim and counterclaim are hotly debated, but there is a general pattern to the back and forth. Giuliani’s essential charge is that Romney changes positions. Romney’s is that Giuliani doesn’t tell the truth. In a typical exchange Monday, [...]

Kerik & Giuliani: Perfect Together

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Birds of a feather:
Bernard Kerik 12/15/2004:

WCBS-TV reported that a Manhattan apartment Kerik reportedly used to conduct extramarital affairs with two women overlooked Ground Zero and was supposed to be for the use of exhausted 9/11 workers.

LA

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

It’s official: John Kennedy has gotten into the race, and the GOP is likely to unseat Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in 2008. This will likely be the GOP’s only Senate pickup in 2008.
