[BUMPED, VIDEO]: Supporting Patrick Murray At Pat Troy’s

by Smitty It’s rough, being a blogger, forced to hang out in classic establishments like Pat Troy’s. I want you to know, readers, that it’s all for America, for you, and the candidate; any incidental pleasures enjoyed in this establishment are taken strictly ‘for the cause’. Mrs. The Other Smitty and I are here, platonically […]

An Army Of Davids On A Bus Tour To Retire Jim Moran

by Smitty Patrick Murray, a retired US Army Colonel, is, in some respects, running the quintessential David-style insurgency against an incumbent Goliath, Jim Moran. It’s not just that fewer people can do the same work, it’s that they don’t need a big company to provide the infrastructure to do the work, and, in fact, they […]

234 Years Later, Obama Hardly Resembling Washington

by Smitty Not quite 234 years ago, original Tea Partier and future first POTUS George Washington crossed the Delaware River to put the hurt on forces of the Ruling Class overlords encamped at Trenton.

by Smitty Conservatives4Palin has the play-by-play. They also point to the Alaska elections site, which, filtering the chaff, lists 125 valid competitors for The Seat Her Daddy Gave Her To Keep, if I filtered the noise correctly. Still more background at the Anchorage Daily News. Perhaps Lisa, Arlen Specter, and Charlie Crist can come together […]

VA8: Col. Patrick Murray On Fox

by Smitty (via Retire Jim Moran) It is excellent to see Murray both on Fox and Friends. . .: and also Fox Business. If you have time, go for this second clip, where the discussion moves past Moran’s condescending dismissal of military service members to discussion of needed policy reforms, for example, term limits. How […]

The Evidently Obligatory ‘How Many House Seats Will the GOP Win?’ Post

Short answer: A lot fewer than they could have, if the NRCC had a freaking clue. Really. Ace of Spades interrogates Jay Cost about the likelihood of Republican gains on the high side of 60, which I consider insanely optimistic, given the face-palming incompetence of the NRCC. But first the good news from Jay Cost: […]

Diverging From Allahpundit On The Military Record Question

by Smitty Allahpundit reviews the new Joe Miller ad: and poses the question How about some ads instead touting his military service and highlighting the sleazy performance of She Who Shall Not Be Named at the last debate? Or is that what he’s bringing Palin in for — to emphasize his service credentials as a […]
