Another conservative website recently had a posting about the top 10 liberal excuses for their losses this year. It was basically a summary with very little beyond a broad analysis and a few lines explaining each. But, I think they were very adept at their analysis. To reiterate: 1. Denial- this is where the Democrats have deluded themselves into believing that they are actually | Read More »
As a recent post by Eric Erickson notes, there will undoubtedly be speculation about the great Republican civil war between the GOP establishment and the TEA Party activists for control of the party. In reality, this is nothing more than a distraction device perpetrated by the spin-meisters in the Democratic Party and their affiliates in the mainstream media and on those obnoxious liberal web | Read More »
For anyone interested in understanding how demographics affect election outcomes, I suggest The Big Sort by Bill Bishop. For nowhere is this tendency more obvious than in California. For example, of its 53 Congressional districts, 33 are rated Democratic with an average rating of 17.6 per district. Of the 20 Republican rated districts, they are an average of 8.1 per district. In only one | Read More »
Say what you will about California, but perhaps a bigger bastion of liberal, Democratic Party power is in New York State. With a Democratic Governor, two Democratic Senators and 93% of their Congressional delegation Democrats, they clearly out perform California. At least California has a “Republican” Governor and only 64% of their Congressional delegation is Democratic. There will be some changes in New York | Read More »
For all the hoopla about Democratic gains in the northeast of late, a real look at Pennsylvania reveals that is is basically a conservative state. If you color in the southeastern corner and southwestern corners of the state blue- the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas- the remainder of the state looks like a giant “T.” And although Democrats have pushed into that “T” in recent years, | Read More »
Ohio has played a pivotal role in Presidential politics for years now. It was the key state for Bush in 2004. In 2008, it went to Obama. The axiom that you cannot win the Presidency without winning Ohio still stands. Considering that Ohio should be a debacle for the Democratic Party in 2010 may be the handwriting on the wall for Obama in 2012. | Read More »
The statewide races in Illinois defy explanation unless one subscribes to the view that Illinois politics is down and dirty and crooked. Should Republican candidates Mark Kirk and Bill Brady be worried? Absolutely! Considering the fact that it was the liberal Chicago political mafia that gave us Barack Obama in the first place, what would be greater poetic justice than to defeat the Democrats | Read More »
Florida is one of those states that Democrats erroneously believe is “purple.” It isn’t. While it may be true that certain sections are becoming rather reliable areas- the Miami area and the growing Orlando area- the concentration is, like most other states, in the urban areas. And the races this year have been very, very interesting. The Governor’s race to replace suntan poster boy and | Read More »
Besides the Delaware race, perhaps nowhere else is the ineptitude of a state Republican apparatus more in evidence than in Colorado. It is a scene from an upcoming release of “Republicans Gone Wild.” Starting with the Governor’s race, Republicans began shooting themselves in their feet quite early and it has evolved into a three-way race in the general election. The Democratic candidate was | Read More »
With no gubernatorial or Senate races this year, all eyes are on the Congressional races. Analayzing Virginia is like analyzing two states- the liberal, Democratic portion comprising the environs of Washington, DC and the more conservative, Republican areas in the south and west of the state. Naturally, that would leave the eastern section along the coast the most contested. Of the 11 Congressional | Read More »
