    Do you want to repeal Obamacare?

    By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  October 31st at 10:00 AM  | 

    Claire McCaskill. Bob Casey Jr. Sherrod Brown. Bill Nelson. Tammy Baldwin. Tim Kaine. These Senators and Senate candidates all support or even voted for Obamacare. Importantly, they all have Republican opponents who have a chance to win, thanks in part to the growing support for Mitt Romney in their swing states.

    If we want to defeat Obamacare, it is critical that we elect Republicans to as many Senate seats as we can. The sad fact is that we can’t just get 50 and hope to win on a reconciliation tiebreak vote cast by Paul Ryan. You never know if the Democrats might find an anti-TEA party Republican who oppose the will of the voters and come to the other side. So we need to elect as many Republicans as we can.

    That means no Republican left behind. George Allen, Tommy Thompson, Connie Mack, Josh Mandel, Tom Smith, and yes, Todd Akin are six key anti-Obamacare votes we need to elect, along with of course Mitt Romney.

    We can only do this if we knock on doors, contact voters, and get out the vote for this important election. Please help.

    Yet one more reason why the Democrats will lose Virginia.

    Shad planking. To summarize the video: every year this event goes on in Virginia where people get together at the Wakefield Ruritan Club and eat shad that’s been smoked on wooden planks (thus, ‘shad planking’). This is one of those big-time political social events for Virginia, and usually it’s pretty bipartisan because, you know, shad on wooden planks. Anyway: according to the video, the organizers | Read More »

    “The tools we have at our disposal are limited, but I would I say I would give myself a little higher in that since I became Secretary of Energy, I’ve been doing everything I can to get long-term solutions.” – Energy Secretary Steven Chu, on whether he would give himself an A minus on gas prices.

    The distraction

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  August 25th at 12:48 PM  | 

    This Radtke business is a serious distraction from a larger issue. I am convinced that George Allen is not going to be able to beat Tim Kaine. And even if George Allen could beat Tim Kaine (and polling suggests he can), there is a more problematic issue — while I have no doubt George Allen will routinely tell the Democrats no, I also have no | Read More »

    George Allen’s Problem

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  January 24th at 08:43 AM  | 

    Today, former Senator George Allen is expected to announce his intention to run against the man who beat him six years ago — Jim Webb. Of course it remains uncertain whether Webb will even run again. I have met George Allen a number of times, like him tremendously, but I have personally decided to support Jamie Radtke for the Senate. Once someone has been beaten, | Read More »

    To Democrats, Words Are More Dangerous Than Physical Violence

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  June 15th at 02:49 PM  | 

    The Democrats are crying foul over a college student videotaping Congressman Etheridge’s assault. You see, it was a right-wing ambush and Bob Etheridge was justified in assaulting the college student. Caught on tape, Etheridge pulled the student’s hand toward him and the student asked to be released. Etheridge refused. This all happened after the student asked Etheridge if the Congressman supported the Obama agenda. Contrast | Read More »
