Report: Pelosi Considering Run for Democratic Leadership
So says ABC News, citing anonymous Democratic sources. I’m honestly not surprised. Like I said earlier, she’ll probably have the votes to win the leadership post. Heath Shuler (D-NC) and his conservative Democratic friends can threaten all they want, but there’s very few of them left. They were decimated on Tuesday. Left in power is [...]

Surviving House Democrat: Pelosi Needs to Step Down
4. November 2010
One of the so-called “Blue Dog” Democrats who managed to survive Tuesday night’s electoral slaughter is calling on Nancy Pelosi to step down from her Democratic leadership post.

4. November 2010
This is the same trip which is projected to cost taxpayers $200 million per day. It’s also the same trip that will see the president reserving an entire five-star hotel and hundreds of rooms in another one, totaling 800 rooms. Obama’s going for grandiose. So here come the thirty-four warships to escort His Majesty. New [...]

Bristol Palin: I Didn’t Vote
3. November 2010

Maybe she’ll [...]
Republican Politicians Interested in Politics? The Horror!
3. November 2010
It’s always enjoyable watching lefty media types outraged — outraged! — that conservative politicians and pundits are primarily interested in defeating their political opponents. As if leftist politicians and pundits were any less dedicated to defeating the Bush Administration and its Republican allies. The latest such outrage, or rather fauxrage, involves Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) [...]
Cutting Defense and Nothing Else
3. November 2010
That’s my biggest concern at the moment. Democrats aren’t about to let entitlements get reduced but they’re all for cutting defense spending.

Meanwhile, Republicans eager to prove that they’re willing to look at all areas of the federal budget will [...]

That much was made clear in today’s post-election press conference. Even some of Obama’s allies say he still doesn’t get it: Obama has had weeks [...]
