The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Manassas, VA #RomneyRyan2012 Event

by Smitty The announcement in Norfolk, VA, with the USS Wisconsin in the background was a nice touch, as the Romney campaign tours this battleground state, going through the Obama-Biden ticket in proverbial fashion today: I’m off to go cover the Manassas rally. If fortune smiles, I might link up with Stacy and try to […]

New Democrat Campaign Message: Grandma, Cliff, Some Assembly Required

Members of the Democrat-Media Complex like Charles Pierce of Esquire and James Fallows of the Atlantic are already registering their disdain of Paul Ryan, and the Democrats are busy e-mailing their massive oppo-research PDF dossier to reporters, so the media attacks on Ryan are pre-scripted dictation from the DNC research department. This is predictable, and […]

The Hashtag That Changed History

“This is an emergency post. . . . Mitt Romney must choose Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential nominee, period.” — Robert Stacy McCain, Aug. 4, 2012 Who would have thunk it, huh? Friday night I went to bed early, and Ali Akbar kept calling to tell me the news, but my wife couldn’t […]

Romney Ad: ‘America Deserves Better’

Hey, @MittRomney: This #GiveUsRyan Hashtag Is Becoming Kinda Popular

When Ali Akbar came up with the #GiveUsRyan hashtag — Saturday afternoon, after I made an emergency stop at Burger King to blog about the importance of making Paul Ryan the Republican VP candidate — I was severely skeptical about the ability of a bunch of bloggers to influence events. Four days later, my skepticism […]

VP Tea Leaves: Is Mitt’s Short List Now Down to Pawlenty, Portman or Ryan?

There are signals — both in terms of actual evidence and what might be called “absence of evidence” — that Mitt Romney’s vice-presidential choices have now come down to three Midwesterners: former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. It appears that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has been eliminated […]

His Initials Are W.A.R.

The brilliant Wayne Allyn Root suggests that Mitt Romney call Obama’s bluff, Mitt offering to release his tax returns in return for Obama releasing his college transcripts: My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this challenge is made public, my […]
