In this tragedy, there is an opportunity
Somehow, in the debate over globalization and geopolitical
strategy, India has been a sort of bastard step-child. Due to
understandable economic concerns -- China holds much of our debt,
produces much of our consumer goods, and has had eye-popping

Patrick and Matt, who I both respect and count as friends, get something completely wrong. Patrick wants to install an "Ideas Czar" and a "Republican National Policy Committee":
What we need is a policy arm independent of the existing policy infrastructure on the Hill that incorporates the best of what's happening ...

I am bewildered that some people try to make the arguments that they do. The Campaign Finance Institute argues that, "[i]t turns out that Barack Obama's donors may not have been quite as different as we had thought."

Dems: Count the ballots we are still printing!
The Democrats are trying to steal a Senate seat in Minnesota.
The Coleman campaign is trying to block the counting of 32 ballots

Last week,
I wrote that the links between ACORN, Ohio Secretary of State
Jennifer Brunner, and the group Secretary of State Project were
concerning. I asked how many other Secretaries of State were backed

Fox28 in South Bend, Indiana has a report of an attempt to mislead voters. After a voter told the caller that she supported John McCain, the caller said that her vote had been recorded, and she didn't need to vote on election day:
