Obligatory Charlie Crist TV Ad

Totally poached from Hot Air: “At the end of the day, there’s only one party I work for . . . Charlie Crist” — which pretty much sums up the selfishness of these unprincipled backstabbing closet-case RINO types. But why bring Mike Castle into this?

Lisa’s LP ‘Lifeboat’ Bid?

In the comments of yesterday’s post about Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s continuing push for the Alaska Libertarian Party nomination, commenter “Carl” offered a theory that libertarian blogger Thomas Knapp finds sensible: What she’s looking for is a lifeboat — a nice, lucrative job as a corporate lobbyist, VP of a “defense” contractor firm, something like that that keeps her […]
