There have been whispers for a while that there could be a December primary. Roger Simon now argues that it is increasingly likely that there could be a December 11th primary in New Hampshire. On the Democratic side, that seems to favor Hillary Clinton. She is up some silly amount Read more…
(Cross-posted from Redstate) With Hillary Clinton the seemingly inevitable Democrat presidential nominee, conservatives are going to have to start reminding people just how bad "that woman" is. The good news? There is quite a bit of material to work with. Like this article in The Hill by Alex Bolton. He Read more…
I will be writing some stuff at Redstate, for example, a swipe at Hillary Clinton. I will keep primary specific stuff here, while focusing more on activism, Congress, etc., there. Most Redstate posts will also be cross-posted here. I do intend to keep most of the 2008 primary material off Read more…

Six of the 10 states with the highest foreclosure rates in the country last month are considered by leaders Read more…
