Few of my memories from the first RedState Gathering stand brighter than getting the chance to hear Ted Cruz speak. When I originally looked at the schedule, I had no idea who he was, so I broke away from chatting with my newfound friend Neil Stevens and attended his speech out of a sense of curiosity, and on the strength of the recommendations of fellow | Read More »
From the diaries by Neil This past Tuesday was a good week for Republicans and conservatives. We sent bona fide conservative Mark Amodei to Congress in Nevada’s 9th District, and wrested from the Democrats a district in the heart of New York City by pushing Bob Turner to victory in New York’s 9th. NV-02 was a Republican leaning district, and we won there in dominating | Read More »
I divide my time between Georgia’s 13th district and its 12th district, depending on whether I’m at home or in college.

Good quote: Moreover, [Dan] Coats’s decision to run this year [for Evan Bayh's seat] is an example of the great vulnerability that Democrats face | Read More »
I have been wanting to write a couple of posts congratulating Scott Brown for his victory, but I think I’ll put them on hold for now until my concerns explained here are allayed. I must admit, as a committed conservative, I have my problems with supporting most New England Republicans (there are some Republicans, mainly in New Hampshire, who are exceptions to this, but not | Read More »
Now, as all of us here know by now, a small group of Republicans (one certainly wishes it was bigger group) have been gathering in the House chamber since the recess to protest the decision by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to have Congress go into recess without attempt to solve the energy crisis, and if the Republican Cloakroom website is any indicator (and it | Read More »
