    It’s official – 36 year old former Secret Service Agent Daniel Bongino is running for US Senate in Maryland. Here’s where I posted his background. He’s got a fascinating background and I look forward to seeing what he has to say on the issues. Here’s his press announcement below the fold.

    2012 Candidate Interview: William Capps (R-MD)

    William T. Capps, Jr is one of the candidates vying to take on Ben Cardin in the 2012 GOP primary. Capps is an Army veteran with no prior political experience except for a bid for State Senate in 2010. According to his biography, he’s been through quite a bit – at certain points making less than $14k a year. That said, he’s never asked for | Read More »

    Draft Suggestion: Ken Cuccinelli for VA-SEN

    From the diaries by Erick In 2012, the people of Virginia will have the opportunity to replace their sitting US Senator, Jim Webb. Webb is a Democrat who had served in the Reagan Administration as his Secretary of the Navy. He wasn’t in that role for less than a year. Because he refused to reduce the size of the Navy, so he resigned. In 1979, | Read More »

    Draft Suggestion: Mark Schweiker for PA-SEN

    In 2012, single term US Senator Bob Casey will be up for reelection. The pro-life Democrat who, after failing in a bid for Governor, decided to run for US Senate against Rick Santorum in a heavily Democratic year. Santorum was a controversial Republican who spouted out at the mouth specifically about social issues (ex. comparing homosexuality to beastiality) who running for reelection in a bad | Read More »

    Draft Suggestion: Marlin Stutzman for IN-SEN

    In 2012, US Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN) will be 80 years old. Lugar has been serving in the US Senate since his first election in 1976, spanning the Presidencies of Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and now Obama. So far, Lugar is on track to run for reelection, but I honestly believe that the people of Indiana can do better. Lugar supports the DREAM Act | Read More »

    Draft Suggestion: Tom Foley for CT-SEN

    In 2012, Joe Lieberman will be up for reelection. Lieberman is currently an independent and has toyed with running as an Independent, Democrat, or Republican for US Senate. Frankly, besides his view on the War on Terrorism and his endorsement of McCain in 2008, Lieberman’s platform does not fit in with the mainstream Republican Party. Reportedly Democratic Congressman Chris Murphy is considering a bid and | Read More »

    Draft John Bolton 2012

    I’m going to start the movement right now. Former United Nations Ambassador is an articulate spokesman for conservatism. He’s got a great presence and an even better mustache. I say we draft him for 2012. No, not for President – here in Maryland for US Senate. Bolton is currently a resident of Bethesda, Maryland. He’s lived in Maryland for a good portion of his life, | Read More »

    On the CPAC Straw Poll and Ron Paul

    I came back from my company’s technical seminar yesterday to find that Ron Paul had won the CPAC straw poll with 31% of the vote. A detailed breakdown of the results can be found here. The first thought I had was – holy cow, Ron Paul won the CPAC straw poll, how far has he come? Then you begin to look at the details and | Read More »

    Andrzejewski for Congress?

    In 2010, a conservative superstar was born in Adam Andrzejewski. He ran a spirited campaign for Governor of Illinois with a great deal of grassroots support that, sadly, lost the GOP primary. For the politically inexperienced Andrzejewski, the fact that he received 14.5% in the GOP primary is actually a major accomplishment considering he began the primary season polling around 2%. Conservatives have shown an | Read More »
