Several astute political observers have begun to notice the growing dichotomy between the state of the House races and the Senate races. While the conservative wave has continued to build in the House, it has stalled and even faltered in statewide races. More house polls continue to show incumbent liberals in deep blue territory to be vulnerable. However, on the Senate front (and in a | Read More »
For all you Maryland Red Staters out there, here is some inside baseball in Baltimore County. We have observed the widespread misinformation disseminated by so-called “Blue Dog Democrats” this election season concerning their political ideology. People like Frank Kratovil vote with the Democrats, are funded by Democrats and outside leftist organizations, and enable the election of their liberal leadership, yet, they manipulate their voting record | Read More »
In an ideal world, there would not be a single blue dog left in congress on November 3rd. All of them reside in strong or lean GOP districts and in a year when congress critters like John Dingell and Barney Frank are in trouble, one would assume that all the blue dogs would be long gone. Unfortunately, there are a few districts that will retain | Read More »
Forget about the House and Senate, the most important races throughout the country are the ones for Secretary of State! OK, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but these races are much more important than most people think. Last week, we posted an optimistic analysis of the state Attorney General races. I would argue that in light of all the Democrat cheating and | Read More »
OK. Let’s say we wake up the morning of November third and discover that Dick Morris was correct in his bold predictions. The Republicans take back the Senate and not only win the House, but garner a historic mandate of 260-270 seats. The electoral battlefield is riddled with the dead carcasses of socialist giants like Barbara Boxer, Dingy Reid, Patty Murray, Russ Feingold, Lisa Murkowski, Charlie | Read More »
Most conservatives have long felt that early voting is unconstitutional. The cornerstone of our democracy provides for free and fair elections. The most basic execution of a fair election is to conduct competing campaigns and then provide for one day at the end of the campaign in which the voters cast their verdict on the race. Ever since the Democrats began implementing early voting, a | Read More »
A lot of ink has been spilled trying to handicap the House, Senate, and Gubernatorial elections. One of the important things about a wave election is that it usually has a down the ticket affect in boosting the victorious party in state legislature and other statewide elections. I figured that I would begin today by researching where things stand in the race to control the | Read More »
n light of all the recent news about Democrat candidates running as John Birchers, I felt is was finally time to call their bluff. We are in a very good position to take back the House, but there is some polling evidence that some of the red district blue dog frauds are still hanging in there. Keep in mind that there are 70 Dems in | Read More »
ost of the professional pundits laughed at us last year when we declared there to be 70-80 seats that are easily in play. Now, it has become yesterday’s news. The real news is that there are sleeper races that are emerging that weren’t even factored into the top 100 list of endangered Democrats. Much of the excitement has been surrounding the race in AZ-7 in | Read More »
Last week, we compiled a list of Democrats who were endorsed by the NRA. (It was posted on Red State here) Some expressed surprise at how the NRA would negate their own interests by supporting Democrats in the vital districts that are needed for them to preserve their majority. Well, the Chamber of Commerce in no different. They are out endorsing liberal fraud, blue dog, | Read More »
Believe it or not, the only ones who might help Nancy Pelosi save her House majority are those who run legislative affairs at the NRA. So called Blue Dog Democrats across the nation are campaigning as red meat conservatives in their home districts, while running deceptive ads about their Republican opponents. They campaign as if they have nothing to do with the Democrat Party that | Read More »
As much of a lost cause that Maryland might be for conservatives, I would like to focus on some areas in the state in which we can make some progress. I will start with Baltimore County in this post. Baltimore County has one of the most diverse political constituencies of any jurisdiction in Maryland. This growing county of 800,000 has a staunch conservative area in | Read More »
The liberal Republicans were never on our side, and the events of this year only prove the obvious. They are not moderates. These government statists are literally Republicans in name only. They fundamentally agree with the Democrats on almost every core issue. These are not the people that we can have an inclusive tent with, or any tent for that matter. I used to be | Read More »
Earlier today, three Republican Senators joined every Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to send the bill to ratify the START treaty to the full Senate. The three RINO traitors were Johnny Isackson (Ga), Richard Lugar (IN), and Bob Corker (TN). How ironic that in light of the recent debate about nominating RINOs in blue states, we have three RINOs from solid red states | Read More »
Christine O’Donnell Carl Paladino Last night, conservative tea party candidates toppled RINO’s or uninspiring establishment Republicans in almost every consequential race across several states. Delaware Delaware will forever be known as the Waterloo of the RINO’s. Although we have been crushing them throughout the primary season, this is the most direct and dramatic defeat we have ever dealt them. After Lisa Murkowski was defeated in | Read More »
As we battle for the heart and sole of the Republican Part, it is unfortunate that some on our side are distorting Mike Castle’s record in an attempt to make him more palatable to conservative voters. They have such disdain for conservative challenger Christine O’Donnell, and desire any chance to have another Senator with an R next to their name, that they are willing to | Read More »
Below the fold, I have compiled a comprehensive list of all the recent polls of competitive house races. Statewide Senate and Gubernatorial polling data are readily available but resources on House race polling are quite scarce. So here is the list for you political junkies out there (let me know if there is anything missing). The striking thing about these polls is that they foreshadow | Read More »
Over the years we have been inundated with so many absurd news stories about our immigration system that we begin to expect nothing different from our government. Let’s take a look at the perverted, unjust, and dangerous immigration-related news just from this week. While ignoring those law enforcement agencies that don’t cooperate with federal authorities, the Justice Department is suing Sheriff Joe Arpaio for being | Read More »
he Obama administration is breathlessly touting a new Pew Research study which shows that the number of illegal immigrants in the country is decreasing. The media is already lauding the Obama administration for its stepped up immigration enforcement which has supposedly led to this decrease in migration. The problem is that there is no increased enforcement from the DHS. Actually, they are hamstringing ICE from | Read More »
It is quite a unique political phenomenon when 11 candidates are running for the Republican nomination for Senate in the deep blue state of Maryland. It is even more special when one of those candidates is a passionate and articulate conservative, who has the gravitas and the energy to mount a serious challenge to arch-socialist, Senator Barbara Mikulski. Jim Rutledge is the candidate running for | Read More »
