So, I went to sign in to Fred Thompson’s new website so see what was going on. And I was struck by this: They want my cell phone provider. With my phone number and my provider, they can send me free, for them, text messages. And they asked for my Read more…
Mitt Romney seemed not present. Perhaps he will claim, like the second tier democrats, that he didn’t get enough questions. It seems that the NRO crowd is claiming that McCain won. I remember him and GIuliani. I don’t remember Romney at all. Again, Huckabee did well. Will think well.

This is not on topic for me, but it is too funny to pass up: State and federal authorities said Senate Minority Leader Louis DeLuca in 2005 sought help from James Galante, a Danbury trash hauler currently awaiting trial on 72 counts of tax fraud, racketeering, threatening and extortion. "When Read more…
Last week in Laconia, NH, Mitt Romney was asked a question about abortion. Doug Lambert of GranitGrok, was there to videotape the answer.

Patrick Ruffini (here, here, and here) and I (here and here) have been discussing the lefty blogosphere movement and what the right can learn from it. But it appears that we landed in the place that the right needs to reinvent itself. The question is how. Now Patrick makes a Read more…
