Putting This ‘Dropping Out’ Business In Perspective
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 21st at 12:51 PM |
“No matter her money, no matter her claims that Chuck is the spoiler, and no matter her endorsements, Carly Fiorina will not be the next United States Senator from California” I think we need a time out on the whole issue of who should drop out in California. The objective fact is that Carly Fiorina cannot seal the deal with conservatives in California. Because of | Read More »
A Note to Danny Tarkanian
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 19th at 06:38 AM |
I’ve said that I intend to check poll numbers about two weeks from the California election to see if I think conservatives should stay with Chuck DeVore or switch to Carly Fiorina. It is looking more and more like the answer will be that Fiorina should drop out. If the goal is to beat Tom Campbell in the primary, all the polling shows a DeVore | Read More »
The Year of the Freedom Fighter

People close to the Jane Norton campaign are pushing out that Governor Palin will be endorsing Norton on Saturday in Colorado. I hope that is not the case, but all indications are that it is. Governor Palin and I were on stage together Friday in South Carolina for her endorsement of RedState friend Nikki Haley. We’re also together with Rand Paul and others. It is | Read More »
Tark & Angle

I’ve gotten a lot of emails in the past few days about the Mason-Dixon poll showing Sharon Angle ahead of Danny Tarkanian in Nevada. Everyone wants my thought on it. Well, since you asked. I like Sharon Angle. I like her a lot. We backed Sharon Angle in her congressional race. I did a podcast with her. She is one of us. But, I also | Read More »
Conservatives Need to Support Danny Tarkanian in Nevada

“We have too many of those in Washington — people who give Harry Reid campaign contributions, then run against him.” Pretty much the entirety of the Republican Establishment is lining up behind Sue Lowden to beat Harry Reid in Nevada. Not me. I just don’t trust her. From her record in the Nevada legislature to her time as head of the Nevada GOP, I think | Read More »
Your Call: Will Moderates Take Over?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 1st at 09:23 AM |
I want and need you to pay serious attention to this. The Los Angeles Times is running a story today about the rising tide of moderates sweeping into the GOP. This will only happen if you let it. Rep. Michael N. Castle, one of the most liberal Republicans in the House, is heavily favored to win an open Senate seat in Delaware. Rep. Mark Steven | Read More »
I still believe Harry Reid will retire
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | January 13th at 08:00 PM |
I firmly believe Harry Reid will not seek re-election, but will retire. This makes me more convinced. New Rasmussen Reports numbers out today show the Democrat’s support has plunged 7 points since last month, a time frame involving his demeaning remarks on his president’s skin color and manner of speaking. That puts Reid right at 36% approval now, less than 10 months before Nov. 2 | Read More »
