    That means it's a good thing for us.

  5. I hope RINO's go extinct, only to be seen in the museum of failed ideas.

  26. JCM: So many people complained about the John Kerry avatar that we cooked up a plan to change it last night. I made a new one, Pi Guy (who will be known as 'Pumpkin Pi Guy' today) put it in the style sheet, Bare was able to go in and remove the border to make it float, and voila! Here we are. : )

  27. 'Corzine staffer' busted with drugs

    A man who identified himself as an official with New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine's re-election campaign was arrested last night after cops found found ecstasy tablets wrapped and ready to be sold in his car, police said.

    Jason Shih, 25, was pulled over by East Rutherford cops at about 11:30 p.m. last night because he was talking on his cell phone on Route 17, said Lt. Chris Conforti of the East Rutherford police.

    Officers wound up finding 19 "blue star" ecstasy tablets in Shih's car, each wrapped in its own little plastic bag.

    Shih -- who was stopped within 100 feet of Becton Regional High School -- also had had "several hundred" empty plastic bags in his car, Conforti said.

    If Corzine loses that would make a GOP trifecta on Tuesday. Go Christie!

    But K/B, the GOP is in horrible trouble because of conservatives in the party. That's what I keep reading, anyway.

  37. I saw that KB, good call. She was smart enough to do the right thing. I am wondering why and how she got the nod in the first place. What was the county Republican party thinking when they nominated her?

  39. Scozzafavva dropping out is great news. Knocking on wood, I can't see how Hoffman can lose now. Maybe Acorn?

    Anyway, I was just having a thought about the term "RINO". If it can be applied to Scozzafavva, can it really be applied to people like Mitt Romney and still mean the same thing? The groups like "Workers Family blah, blah, blah" that endorsed Scozzafavva would probably protest Romney. They probably have.
    I think the term RINO definitely applies to Scozzafavva but not at all to Mitt, however philosophically "impure" he might be.
    Also wondering in general how many people think Mitt is a "RINO".

  41. Despite the polls, despite the general mood of the country, the RNC still believes that the majority of people in the country is basically "liberal."

    What most people are are centrists who want less government and more personal freedom, particularly in economic affairs. They don't trust the big government left, but they also don't trust the big government right, the sorts who want government to enforce a particular moral agenda.

    We want government out of our pockets and out of our pants. And a drink -- what is it that makes both ends of the political spectrum so damn snitty about me getting wide every now and again?

  43. Scozzafava Neutral By Design, RNC Backs Hoffman

    Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava's decision not to endorse either of her opponents after suspending her bid for ex-Rep. John McHugh's seat was a tactical move made in concert with Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman's campaign, a source close to Scozzafava confirmed.

    There was some concern that supporters of Scozzafava's more moderate brand of Republicanism would be so turned off if she publicly announced an endorsement of the man who has been hammering her as a Pelosi-esque liberal that it would them into the arms of Democratic nominee Bill Owens.

    . . .

    Meanwhile, reactions to Scozzafava's departure from the race are pouring in. The Tea Party Express, which endorsed Hoffman and cut a radio ad for him, issued a celebratory statement. RNC Chairman Michael Steele praised Scozzafava's "selfless act," and announced the party will "endorse and support" Hoffman.

    They are (the Ds) are already raising a stink about the voting machines.

    Will every vote count?
    New voting machines in 23rd House race not fully certified in pilot program, officials say


    Notice how (D)s always talk "every vote" they never ever say anything about "every legal vote."

  54. White House Gears Up for Disappointing Election Day

    With Democrats poised to lose the governor's race in Virginia, and to possibly lose the governor's race in New Jersey and a special election for a House seat in New York, the White House has started insisting any pending losses will not have any significance.

    One of the things that came out of the '04 election debacle in WA.

    A statistical analysis of rejected ballots showed in King Co, where the whole mess occurred, showed a consisted higher rejection rate in precincts which tended to vote (R) over those that voted (D).

  60. Powerline: Rocco Landesman responds to the article criticizing his "most powerful writer since Caesar" panegyric on 0bama.

    Fisking by Powerline in square brackets.

    "First, my comments about the President as author and the references to Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln, et al. I'm vulnerable here and probably just wrong. [Ed.: Apparently he hasn't had time to check it out yet!]. Barack Obama wrote, on his own, the manuscript for his first book and went looking for a publisher. [Ed.:Not exactly, but let it pass.] Other presidential works have very different provenances. [Ed.: Well said!] One important one, it is generally accepted, was written by a ghostwriter without credit. [Ed.: He's so discreet!] Others were written with heavy staff input in the way of researchers and editors. [Ed.: Again, well said!] That being said, to state that these other presidents did not write their own books is unprovable and in several cases, probably incorrect. [Ed.: Probably!] And for what it's worth, yes, Grant wrote a great book, and Lincoln, an excellent writer, never wrote a whole book per se, his writings were rather collected in one. [Ed.: When you get a chance, refresh yourself on run-on sentences.] Score one for the prosecution."

    Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean you shouldn't hold high office. In fact, it is probably better -- facts and reason have a way of interfering with naked ideology.
