Hi, Larry Marchant! [UPDATED]
[UPDATE] Prove it, Larry. And no looking at Willy Folks’ test paper, either. Bye, Larry Marchant! [South Carolinian] Republican gubernatorial hopeful Andre Bauer said today he has asked for and received the resignation of a political consultant for “inappropriate conduct” but would say little more. Lt. Gov. Bauer announced that adviser Larry Marchant gave him his resignation at noon today. (Via CCP Blog) Funny how | Read More »
Does the White House WANT us to keep talking about Sestak?
Because they keep bringing it to the forefront. Let me set the scene for this: it turns out that the job offer that Bill Clinton had supposedly offered Joe Sestak was in fact a job offer that Sestak could not take and still keep his House seat. This is important, because Sestak being able to keep his House seat is kind of critical for somebody | Read More »
BP/Obama Karma Watch: June 2, 2010.
(Via Drudge) The saw is stuck. The risky effort to contain the nation’s worst oil spill hit a snag Wednesday when a diamond-edged saw became stuck in a thick pipe on a blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said the goal was to free the saw and finish the cut later in the day. This is | Read More »

State of the Race: John Boozman (R CAND, AR-SEN).

Obamacare revisited: Sir Donald’s Medicare czar nomination fight.
Sounds like a fun way to spend the summer, doesn’t it? President Barack Obama spent the last year insisting he doesn’t want to turn the American health care system into a carbon copy of the government-run British system. But Obama’s pick to run Medicaid and Medicare — Donald Berwick — is a pediatrician and Harvard University professor with a self-professed “love” of the British system. | Read More »
The Breakdown of Montgomery[*] County.
The Washington Post can be amusing, sometimes. In this article (via Instapundit) they provide a comparison of two counties – Montgomery County in Maryland, and Fairfax County in Virginia – to the former’s distinct disadvantage. The short version: Montgomery County is stuck with an elected Democratic leadership that is beholden to public sector unions*, spends in a fashion that insults drunken sailors, and… actually, those | Read More »
Meet Elizabeth Emken (R CAND, CA-11).
The district is listed as competitive by Cook (R+1, Leans Democratic) and is one of the districts threatened by the infamous delta smelt. Elizabeth recently also made a Daily Beast list of 11 GOP women candidates to watch. Elizabeth’s site can be found here. Moe Lane Crossposted to Moe Lane.
I sort of agree with Eleanor Clift.
(H/T: Hot Air Headlines) On at least one passage, at least. She wrote an article for Newsweek (yeah, it’s still publishing! Good show, that) where she assured her readers that of course they don’t need to worry about the 2010 election shellacking that the Democrats will be getting in the Senate, because a lot of those elections will be one-offs: This is an off-year election, | Read More »

Obama’s America.
(Via @thebcast) Personally, I get a Not-My-Kind-Of-People vibe off of the British Petroleum protesters, and I’m pretty sure that most of them would look at me and cordially hate my guts. Doesn’t mean I like seeing ‘em get kicked by the LAPD. Or seeing somebody filming the kicking go get tackled and arrested by the LAPD. Hey! Was this the change that you were waiting | Read More »
Israel intercepts Gaza blockade runners: 14 dead.
The Israelis are very, very serious about maintaining said blockade: At least 14 people were killed and 50 were injured early Monday as the Israeli Navy took over the ships taking part in the aid sail to Gaza, Arab and Turkish media reported. The IDF reported that four soldiers were injured during the takeover from live ammunition and knife stabbing. One of the troops was | Read More »
State of the Race: Rick Barber (Al-02).
The primary for Alabama is Tuesday, so we checked in with Rick Barber to find out the state of the race: I also asked Rick (like Hot Air Greenroom’s Laura Curtis) why Alabama’s commercials have been so memorable this cycle. Listen for the answer, of course. Rick’s site is here. Moe Lane Crossposted to Moe Lane.
‘He was supposed to be competent.’ Wait, what?
That’s the title of a Peggy Noonan piece, and Joy McCann (Little Miss Attila) has some comments about the stars – or scales – falling from Peggy’s eyes: …she, Ann Althouse, and Megan McArdle will have to deal with it for the rest of their lives. Those three women have all been an intellectual blessing to public discourse in this country, but they all succombed | Read More »
