The Other McCain

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

Thank You, Desert Renegade

Sitting here near midnight, I was feeling bummed out — lower than a snake’s belly — over this: Friday afternoon Mrs. Other McCain said, “Oh, Jim just called — you need to go pick up the part for the car.” This required a trip across town to a machine shop, where my 17-year-old son had […]

Murkowski Is ‘Insanely Un-Libertarian’ UPDATE: ‘99% . . . No Way’ Murkowski Will Get LP Nomination, Official Says

The deal that Palin-hater Andrew Halcro is trying to broker to secure Lisa the Loser’s Senate nomination on the Alaska Libertarian Party ticket strikes many people as odd, simply because Murkowski is the kind of GOP Establishment type that LP activists loathe in their souls. And at least one top national LP official isn’t afraid to […]

EXCLUSIVE: Murkowski’s Libertarian Effort Is Led by Longtime Palin Enemy

Early Wednesday morning, Alaska Libertarian Party chairman Scott Kohlhaas got a call from ex-Republican Andrew Halcro, asking if Kohlhaas would be open to having Sen. Lisa Murkowski replace Dave Haase as the LP’s Senate candidate. Such a switch would be the only option for Murkowksi to be on the Nov. 2 ballot, should she and the National […]

EXCLUSIVE: Alaska LP Senate Candidate Dave Haase Is ‘Huge Sarah Palin Fan’

Libertarian Party sources in Anchorage say they’ve been deluged with phone calls today from media and “political types” asking about the LP line on the ballot, which is Lisa Murkowski’s only hope to remain in the Senate unless her NRSC lawyer can find a way to steal the GOP nomination from Joe Miller. Murkowski’s supporters […]

Lisa Murkowski ‘Lawyers Up’

The NRSC is now “meddling” in the Alaska GOP Senate primary, says RINO killer Joe Miller: “Frankly we’re looking right now to make sure . . . that the votes are accounted for fairly without any type of game play,” he said. “[It] concerns us any time that somebody lawyers up and, you know, tries […]

What’s the Air Fare to Anchorage? UPDATE: Miller Campaign ‘Urgently’ Seeks Funds to Fight Murkowski Recount

Yesterday I told you the NRSC advised Lisa the Loser to “go negative” on Joe Miller. And today we learn that John Cornyn’s National RINO Subversive Conspiracy has sent lawyers to Anchorage to try to steal the election from Joe: Sean Cairncross, the general counsel of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, is headed to […]

It’s All Over for Lisa the Loser

Joe Miller won the Alaska Republican nomination for Senate, and I’m tired of people pretending that there’s some way Lisa Murkowski can undo her defeat. It can’t happen, it won’t happen, and every bit of lip-service given to hypothetical miracle resurrection scenarios where it could happen only encourages Murkowski in her delusional belief that “it […]

Why Joe Miller Won

“You can accomplish much, if you don’t care who gets the credit.” — Ronald Reagan Frankly, I’ve been patting myself on my back all morning about the prescience of my July 6 American Spectator feature about Joe Miller: Any disinterested political observer would be tempted to rate Murkowski a lead-pipe cinch for re-election. The incumbent […]
