Gallup retreats and I claim victory

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 12:00 PM  | 

From Unlikely Voter: Some may recall when I questioned the recent Gallup generic ballot results with sharp language. I caught them passing off a poll of adults, with the shift toward the Democrats that usually entails, as a poll of registered voters. It got national media attention. It’s clear to me the message was received, because now in the first release after my criticism, the | Read More »

Corbett steady as Toomey and Sestak joust

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 11:00 AM  | 

From Unlikely Voter: While the Pennsylvania Senate race has lived up to my expectations of volatility (Rasmussen has swing from Pat Toomey +8 to Joe Sestak +4 back to Toomey +6 most recently), the race for Governor has been pretty boring. No matter how many times this race gets polled, Republican Tom Corbett defies the recent partisan trend of Pennsylvania and consistently leads Democrat Dan | Read More »

Today in Washington – August 3, 2004

By: Brian Darling (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 10:40 AM  | 

Anti gun activist Elena Kagan’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court hits the Senate floor today.  Ironically, this is the same day that the Washington Post reports that a federal judge in Virginia refused to dismiss a challenge to ObamaCare’s mandates.  This case is going to the U.S. Supreme Court, yet many Senators are not willing to put up a real fight before this left wing extremist is | Read More »

Rick Scott Continues to Lead Bill McCollum in Florida

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 10:10 AM  | 

The gubernatorial race in Florida continues to surprise me. Bill McCollum, the unquestionably conservative Attorney General and former congressman who played a part in Bill Clinton’s impeachment, is losing to a novice politician and former hospital CEO. With just three weeks until Election Day, and early voting beginning next week, Scott is beating McCollum in every demographic and geographic category of likely GOP voters, said | Read More »

The “other” race in Wisconsin

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 09:30 AM  | 

From Unlikely Voter: I’ve been staring slack-jawed so long at Russ Feingold’s surprising difficulties in Wisconsin, that I completely neglected to see that there’s a close race for Governor going on in that state, too. Wisconsin has long been the state most friendly to progressives in America. Could Republicans win the top two statewide races there, without the benefit of an anomaly like the Paul | Read More »

Beware the Lame Duck Session

By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 09:22 AM  | 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently made a vow to a large gathering of liberal activists that should have every American concerned. Frustration with the Democratic Party was a major theme during the four-day event, where progressives voiced their loss of patience with those in power for not doing enough to make major policy changes. … “We’re going to have to have a lame-duck session,” | Read More »

Rationing at the Food and Drug Administration

By: RedState Insider (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 07:00 AM  | 

During the year long ObamaCare debate, there was a spirited debate of the proposition that ObamaCare would cause rationing by the federal government of services and drugs.  Government rationed health care services and drugs have evolved from rhetoric to reality.  On July 28th, Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana) raised drug rationing concerns, because of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pending decision to take the cancer drug Avastin off the list of approved drugs for breast cancer.   This example | Read More »

Tech at Night: Apple, WiMAX, RIM

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  August 3rd at 01:00 AM  | 

Good evening. It’s going to be short tonight, because I don’t actually have anything new to say about G—– or F— P—- tonight, as against freedom as they both are. But I will say this about Net Neutrality: competition from new technology is the way out of any problems we have with the ISP monopolies and duopolies that state and local regulators cram down our | Read More »
