Tweet In the endless parade of images that my liberal friends feel compelled to put on Facebook, this was my favorite for the day: I honestly cannot understand a mindset that says the world popularity is the metric Americans should use for electing their president. Certainly a president who is conversant with world affairs and [...]

Tweet If true, this is a very effective (and completely immoral) tactic: New York Times best-selling author Brad Thor, based in Chicago, tells TheBlaze that the Obama campaign may be planning to preemptively announce victory in the presidential election based on early voting numbers in an attempt to “demoralize Mitt Romney supporters.” Citing a “very [...]

Tweet Glenn Reynolds says that the 2012 election has the possibility to be a “ground glass” election for conservatives: Last week, I noticed this blog comment: “Romney was not my first, second, or third choice, but I will crawl over ground glass to vote for him.” A lot of Republicans — and, judging from polls, [...]

Tweet I honestly think this is Romney’s best ad: Incidentally, regarding Obama’s revenge remark, Jonah Goldberg had exactly the same thought I did: Revenge against whom? If you watch the clip itself, it’s not clear at all what Obama’s supporters are supposed to want revenge for. Obama mentions Romney’s name in the context of his [...]

Tweet On Monday, November 5, an ad will run in the Washington Times with the names of almost 500 retired military officers from all of the different forces who support Mitt Romney. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of the ad. The same email forwarding the ad asked that it be shared [...]

Tweet I’ve got a new post up at PJ Media: In the last few days before the election, many moderate Democrats are contemplating breaking up with Barack Obama. Parting with a political party or candidate can be every bit as wrenching as severing a personal relationship with a girlfriend or boyfriend. The problem whenever one [...]

Tweet When it became obvious that Mitt was going to be the Republican nominee for President, I started doodling around with my strong sense that the November match-up would look very much like a contest between Ward Cleaver and Eddie Haskell, of Leave it to Beaver fame. In May, I put up a post, which [...]

Tweet Except for all the gory stuff, I’d like to think that this will be how we’ll look back on the Democrat’s 2012 presidential run:
Bookworm on Oct 01 2012 | Filed under: Barack Obama, Israel, Jews
Tweet There are two constituencies on which Democrats can always count: Jews and blacks. And Jews, unlike blacks, give lots of money to their favorite party and they get out and vote. For many Jews, being a Democrat is an integral part of their identity. Voting for a Republican is anathema. It turns them into [...]

Tweet I like this one. In a remarkably short time span, it covers several Obama missteps (all of which the MSM ignored, of course):

Tweet I do not expect Marin to vote for Romney. Indeed, if I had to predict the race, I would say that Romney has a snowball’s chance in Hell of taking Marin. Nevertheless, something interesting is happening in Marin: No new bumper stickers. Marin-ites do have Obama/Biden bumper stickers, but they’re almost all leftovers from [...]

Tweet We conservatives are very fragile. One SEIU house polling organization (that would be PPP) and one White House press organ (that would be Politico), both of which trumpet Obama’s staggering 5 point post-convention bounce, and we’re already donning sackcloth and ashes. Yes, it is frustrating that a president with the worst employment numbers since [...]

Tweet Joe Biden sent me an email the other day, one that was remarkable for the complete absence of substance, and the overwhelming presence of 1930s, Daddy Warbuck-ish invective: Starting now, we can expect even more wealthy, right-wing ideologues lining up to support the Romney-Ryan ticket. The people on the other side who are trying [...]
