Lots of stuff to get into on the radio tonight. I’ll cover last night’s southern primaries out of the gate. But then there is Chris Matthews’ bigotry on the radio.

“Paper tigers are desk ornaments, not cause for concern.” The primary battle for Illinois’s 16th Congressional District is a case study in why Republicans do not fear conservatives and do not take conservatives seriously in the House of Representatives.

This is becoming the story of how Mitt Romney fell off the straight trajectory to victory. In Illinois, Romney’s campaign gave Rick Santorum a pass they did not have to. A race Romney would have won outright is now competitive. The story is a rather interesting one. Romney’s state chairman wants to run for Governor and did not want to make enemies with the Santorum | Read More »
“In five years of campaigning it is stunning to me that the Romney camp still has no clue how to play the expectations game.” This morning you were going to read a post from me saying Mitt Romney was definitely now the nominee and it was time for Santorum and Gingrich to drop out. The post was predicated on late polling and early corresponding exit | Read More »
It’s not really a surprise, is it? After all, as I pointed out last week, Adam Kinzinger’s scores from the center-right are rather pathetic by themselves and really pathetic compared to Congressman Don Manzullo. Now even Kinzinger is dropping the pretense of being conservative. He told a Boone County, IL Lincoln Day Dinner, “This isn’t a race about who is more conservative, it’s a race | Read More »

When Orrin Hatch ran for the United States Senate the first time, he campaigned against then Democratic Senator Frank Moss. Hatch traveled Utah asking and answering a simple question: “What do you call a Senator who’s served in office for 18 years?” “You call him home,” he said. That was thirty-six years ago. Orrin Hatch beat Frank Moss and has been in the United States | Read More »

“If we are unwilling to stand up for a man who stands up for conservatives even against his own party, then why should we ever expect any man to stand with the movement against the party?” On February 18, 2011, 98 Republicans joined with the whole of the Democratic Caucus in the House to defeat legislation offered up by Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee designed | Read More »
