Do Not Hesitate: Bloviate

by Smitty We can admit that flannel trumps bespoke in Sean Duffy’s new ad: However, we can only deplore the sad attempts of one TrogloPundit to credit himself for the product. He had what must have felt like an original, creative idea, but merely proved an echo of such coming from a less hapless head. […]

VA-8 Gets More Interesting This Friday

by Smitty From a 16Sep AP story, emphasis mine: Paul Magliocchetti pleaded not guilty to an 11-count indictment felony indictment on Aug. 20.

‘Stache And The Election Day Tea Party

by Smitty (h/t The Wolf Files) John Bolton: “I joined the Election Day Tea Party project because — perhaps more than any other in my lifetime — the results of this election cycle will determine the future of the United States as the leader of the free world,” said Ambassador John Bolton. “Election Day Tea […]

I know a lot of you are here […]

. . . marking the official end of “Recovery Summer”: (Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll.) Meanwhile, there’s good news and bad news: The good news is, the media have identified three endangered Democrat incumbents in Virginia. The bad news: Jim Moran isn’t one of them. Don’t be dismayed, however. Smitty keeps pounding hard for Patrick Murray, whose […]

It takes significant courage to run against “Gentleman” Jim Moran in the first place, and I’m happy to report that Patrick Murray is packing the gear. One looks forward to attending a […]

At The Patrick Murray Campaign Office Opener Part 2

by Smitty A few more clips before delving into the Patrick Murray stump. Alexandria City Councilman Frank Fannon has a few remarks. Then I went back to Alicia Hughes to make sure I got the bling. Admittedly, I’m a fan of this lady. Then, since Tito “the Builder” Munoz was in attendance, I corralled him […]
