New Video From #RomneyRyan Campaign: ‘America’s Comeback Team’

“I’m proud to stand with a man who understands what it takes to foster job creation in our economy, someone who knows from experience, that if you have a small business — you did build that. . . . I’m excited for what lies ahead and I’m thrilled to be a part of America’s Comeback […]

C-3PO Raids the Death Star

Allahpundit trembles between fear and hope: Has there ever been a campaign that went, literally overnight, from being about nothing to leaping neck-deep into the most treacherous, dangerous issue in American politics?

Secret Service Code Name: ‘Dreamy’

MANASSAS, Virginia — Just left a Romney-Ryan rally in downtown Manassas. The crowd was huge, numbering in the thousands.

Democrats: Allen West Is Willie Horton!
