NC-2: Tammy Bruce Has a Fever and the Only Cure Is More Renee Ellmers

In case you’ve forgotten, Renee Ellmers is the Republican challenger to North Carolina Democrat Bob Etheridge, notorious for man-handling pesky students with video cameras. Tammy Bruce has audio of her radio interview with Ellmers, and also calls our attention to this provocative ad from Ellmers: That ad should be enough to make Ellmers an instant contender for CAIR’s […]

Crazed Ewok Endorses Hard-to-Spell GOP Candidate in Minnesota 8th District; Cravaack Considers Restraining Order

Chip Cravaack isn’t a name that rolls easily from the tongue, but after Ed Morrissey highlighted a poll showing the Navy-pilot Republican challenger surprisingly close to Democrat Rep. Jim Oberstar, Ace of Spades jumped aboard in his inimitable way. Check this guy out: What Ace is doing — what I’ve been doing, and what we all should […]

Beat Barney, Stomp Steny

We’ve told you before about Sean Bielat, who’s taking on Barney Frank in Massachusetts, and Charles Lollar, who’s challenging Steny Hoyer in Maryland. Both of these men are U.S. Marines, and today they get a big “Semper Fi” shout-out from Ken Blackwell: While Frank typically wins with 65 to 75 percent of the vote, Bielat is […]

California Workers Laid Off and Their Jobs Shipped to China by Greedy Republican Democrat Jane Harman?

America: Let’s Make Bill Maher Cry!

This is simply beyond description: “I am not here to carry water for this or any administration, but the facts of the coming election are Democrats have real accomplishments to run on. . . . [W]hen it comes to voting, when we only have two choices, you got to grow up and realize there’s a […]

VA-9: Obama Loves This Democrat!

Dumb Democrat Week continues as we highlight Rick Boucher, the Virginia Democrat who voted for cap-and-trade. Incumbent Problem #1: Boucher represents an Appalachian region of rural southwest Virginia where coal mining is a vital industry and thousands of local jobs would be lost if cap-and-trade becomes law. Incumbent Problem #2: When the House adjourned without voting to extend tax […]

Stupidest. Democrat. EVAH!

Rarely have I ever disagreed with Ann Coulter, but her pronouncement that Patty Murray is “the stupidest person in America” was simply wrong. Of course, the stupidest person in America is a Democrat but, contra Coulter, it’s not the buffoonish senator from Washington state. No, even the astonishing stupidity of Patty Murray is no match for […]

AZ-7: Another Democrat in Trouble, Another Excellent GOP Challenger

The rule of polling is, if the incumbent is under 50%, the incumbent is in trouble. By that measure, Democrat Rep. Raúl Grijalva — polling at an anemic 42% — is in serious trouble in Arizona’s 7th District: Republican Ruth McClung is trailing Rep. Raúl Grijalva by seven points according to a poll done for her campaign and […]
