I’ve been MIA all week due to the RNC. I have a backlog of emails to wade through, many of which are user complaints based on the redesign. The good news is that most everyone likes the redesign. The bad news is that most everyone hates the tech problems associated with it, including Disqus. We made the decision to move to Disqus because we have | Read More »
What a difference a speech makes. As Ari Fleischer noted on CNN, the same media that was cool with the shallow vapidity of hope and change in 2008 is now demanding specifics from Mitt Romney. Last night in Tampa, he gave the one set of specifics he needed to give — a course correction. The Democrats are screaming that it is a return to the | Read More »
The press really is beclowning itself this election year. Like lemmings off a cliff, the press is running to its own ignoble death at the hands of an American public tired of spin and lies. The last forty-eight hours clearly demonstrate the American press corp and Team Obama are working hand in hand to drive a narrative designed to advance Barack Obama’s re-election. From claims | Read More »
When Republicans talk about the liberal press, they should not just remember John Harris at the Politico, but also Ron Fournier of National Journal. If you want to know what the subtle racism of the liberal media looks like, consider Ron Fournier’s latest epiphany on how Mitt Romney’s welfare attacks on Obama are racist. It takes one to know one I guess. On the day | Read More »
One of the odd bugs we have had to deal with this week with the relaunch is one that prevented non-front page contributors from posting diaries via a front page link. That is fixed now. At the top right you’ll see a link that says “create new post”. Click it and you can do as the link says. Sorry it took so long, but now | Read More »
He did what he had to do — convince independent voters that it is okay to like Obama, okay to have voted for Obama, and okay to want to replace Barack Obama. His speech was not for the GOP. His speech was for independents. Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney know that as the Democrats amp up the negativity, they have to give independents an incentive | Read More »
We should not forget that John Harris of the Politico, who asked the stupidest and most irrelevant questions of any moderator during the GOP Primary debates, is married to the former head of NARAL in Virginia. We should not forget that Jonathan Allen of the Politico once worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz. We should not forget that Andy Barr of the Politico left the Politico | Read More »
Last night in Tampa, FL, Ann Romney wowed the crowd. She was personable, personal, and did her best to make her husband relatable. At the same time, the Democratic National Convention was rounding out its list of speakers. While Ann Romney, Chris Christie, and the rest of the Republicans are focused on the future of this country and the way to create jobs, the Democrats | Read More »
I’ve been talking to some of the older delegates who have been around for a while. They have a theory that only people who’ve been in politics at this level for a very long time could come up with. Back in 1992, John Sununu had been pushed out of the White House as Chief of Staff, but was still a committed partisan for George H. | Read More »
Comments, complaints, and thoughts about the redesign? Put them here. We’re still working. It was my call to put it up live haints, boogers, warts, and all otherwise we’d just keep tweaking and never get it up. I take responsibility for that. So have at it here. I’ll monitor this thread.
At 2:00 p.m. today in Tampa, the Republican National Committee, led by Team Romney, is moving to shut down conservative grassroots activists. I’ve been on the phone with several individuals involved in the fight who tell me that the fight is not over, it is only just starting. Specifically, the media is reporting that the rules fight is over because Team Romney is abandoning Ben | Read More »
Today marks the beginning of the end of Campaign 2012. This week, here in Tampa, Republicans will go through a well scripted event designed to make Mitt Romney their nominee. Democrats will reciprocate next week in Charlotte, NC. The GOP’s convention almost became unscripted with a heavy handed move designed to ensure a coronation and shut out the grassroots from nomination fights. According to press | Read More »
Every time we’ve upgraded RedState, we’ve discovered bugs. It’s bound to happen. I apologize for the inconvenience, but please note that we’re working very hard behind the scenes to get things back to normal. This redesign is our most significant and it has not come off as perfectly as I had hoped, but we’re getting there. Please be patient today and we’ll get everything back | Read More »
As the GOP head to Florida, the literal poster boy for trial lawyers in Florida is endorsing Obama. It is not a surprise. Charlie Crist was Barack Obama’s favorite Republican for the longest time. They stood shoulder to shoulder in support of the stimulus. RedState played a great role in helping beat Charlie Crist. Marco Rubio is such an improvement But I do hope Charlie | Read More »
A week ago the UK’s left leaning Guardian hired RedState co-founder Joshua Trevino to be a regular columnist about American conservatives. Unlike many American publications, the Guardian hired an actual conservative instead of a poseur. But that was too much. The Guardian, you see, is the left’s property. Immediately, some virulently anti-Semitic leftwing activists began an organized campaign against the Guardian because Josh Trevino has | Read More »
