What’s the Air Fare to Anchorage? UPDATE: Miller Campaign ‘Urgently’ Seeks Funds to Fight Murkowski Recount

Yesterday I told you the NRSC advised Lisa the Loser to “go negative” on Joe Miller. And today we learn that John Cornyn’s National RINO Subversive Conspiracy has sent lawyers to Anchorage to try to steal the election from Joe: Sean Cairncross, the general counsel of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, is headed to […]

It’s All Over for Lisa the Loser

Joe Miller won the Alaska Republican nomination for Senate, and I’m tired of people pretending that there’s some way Lisa Murkowski can undo her defeat.

He’s becoming a joke: National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions is trying to referee an increasingly bitter Florida 24th District primary, criticizing a new mailer from Florida Republican Craig Miller questioning rival Karen Diebel’s mental fitness as out of bounds. Dan Riehl’s had the facts on this situation for weeks. It’s not that she’s a […]

Moe Lane Interviews Mattie Fein

At Red State:

VIDEO: Democrat Jane Harman Admits, ‘Ahmadinejad Was . . . My Boyfriend!’

Profiting from the sale of dual-use technology to Iran? Rep. Jane Harman (D-Transylvania) might have gotten away with this monstrous scheme, had it not been for Young Mattie Fein: You knew when Ladd Ehlinger Jr. went to Hollywood, he’d produce something brilliant.

Is the GOP Heading for Heartbreak?
