HUCKABEE WON’T RUN IN 2012

BREAKING . . . UPDATE: Whew! That was scary! Allahpundit had an open thread at Hot Air. If you watched it live on Fox, you know how Huck started talking about polls and his supporters and how he was praying and — for a minute there, I admit it — I was feelin’ the doom. […]

Newt? No Problem.

While I usually quote Time magazine’s David von Drehle only to mock him, he’s inarguably right when he says: The main problem Newt Gingrich faces in his campaign for President is not going to be the number of liberals who don’t like him. It’s going to be the number of conservatives who don’t like him. […]

NY-26 Special Election: Stealth Democrat Crazy Jack Davis Plays ‘Tea Party’ Spoiler

You may remember in February when “fit fun classy guy” Rep. Chris Lee (R-Stupid) resigned from Congress after being caught trolling Craigslist for dates. That set up a special election to fill the seat, now scheduled for May 24 — two weeks from today. Republican county chairs picked Assemblywoman Jane Corwin as their candidate, while […]

Amity Shlaes Has a Big Sexy Brain

  Back in February we took notice of the “Draft Amity Shlaes for Senate” campaign proposed by Adam Brickley, who was the first to suggest Sarah Palin as GOP vice-presidential timber in 2008. It seems to have gotten an enthusiastic response — “Amity Shlaes Senate” yields 278,000 Google results.
