The media, liberal Republicans like David Frum, and every left-winger out there has for a year decried, bemoaned, ridiculed, and laughed at conservatives for an alleged “purity test” for candidates. I have been a chief target of those attacks from the Republican establishment, pundits, the left, and the media. Never mind that is was never true. I’ve always said the GOP should go right where | Read More »
Evan Bayh is out in Indiana. Another sign of just how bad off the Democrats are. I have two words: Go Marlin. Guess I need to send Stutzman some more money. UPDATE: It appears the deadline to collect 5,000 signatures for the GOP is noon tomorrow. I suspect that means the field will be as it is for the GOP with no additions. Word is | Read More »
Former Senator Dan Coats intends to run against sitting Senator Evan Bayh. Yippee Kay Yay, to quote Bruce Willis. If the best the Republican Party of Indiana can do is retread old horses who put themselves out to the pasture to begin with, we’re screwed.

Folks, it is looking more and more likely that it will be Obama-Bayh ’08 (AE suggests that looks a lot like pig latin). But this is not the sticker, despite the Drudge headline and mysterious news report: How do I know? First, Obama likes pastels and non-traditional campaign paraphernalia. Second, it looks much like like this one:
Tim Kaine appears to be out. Evan Bayh, who was my fall back choice, just might be it. Oh, and MITT ROMNEY looks to be the GOP pick. That’s what Mark Halperin says. The URL is now empty though, but the blurb still exists on the front page of Halperin’s site, along with a note that the New York Times reports people close to the | Read More »
I’m going to call it. Barack Obama’s Vice Presidential nominee will be Tim Kaine, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. I’m perfectly open to being wrong, but I do not think I am. Both Obama and McCain really need someone with executive experience. That rules out Joe Biden, who was raised by the wolves in the Senate. That leaves Evan Bayh, Tim Kaine, and wild | Read More »
