President Obama has a press confererence set for this afternoon to discuss yesterday\’s midterm elections. If he should happen to say, or suggest, that things might have been different if more Democrat candidates had asked him to campaign on his behalf, I have an answer, in the form of a question: Mr. President, how did the candidates you did campaign for make out yesterday? End of issue.
Every election is important in its own right. But, arguably, the single most important election of yesterday\’s midterm was Republican Larry Hogan winning the gubernatorial race over Democrat Anthony Brown. The reason? Because in the latter part of the campaign, when Brown\’s months-long comfortable lead started to disappear, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Hillary...
There is no way to spin or sugar-coat yesterday\’s midterm election. It was an epic victory for Republicans, and an epic clock-cleaning for Democrats. -In the all-important senate races, Republicans – who needed 6 additional seats to move from 45 to 51, thus taking control – have picked up a minimum of 7 seats so far. But it is a near certainty that Dan...
I will be adding to this during the evening. The cable networks are declaring Mitch McConnell the winner in Kentucky. No surprise there: it would have taken a Democrat wave to give his opponent, Alison Lundergran Grimes, the win…. …which brings us to Virginia, where Fox is reporting that, based on exit polls, it is too close to call. I suspect – but am not at...
Here is the beginning of a just-posted article from the (staunchly liberal/Democrat) Baltimore Sun: Asvoters across the state report voting machine irregularities thisElection Day, ten machines have been taken out of service in AnneArundel County. Ahandful of voters who contacted TheCapitalTuesday said their votes were flipped from Republican candidates toDemocrats. Another voter said his vote...
Oh, wow. What a surprise. There are “problems” in Hartford, Connecticut, and the Democrats are heading to court to make sure the polls stay open extra time tonight. From Christine Stewart\’s article at ctnewsjunkie.com: DemocraticGov. Dannel P. Malloy\’s campaign filedan Election Day lawsuit Tuesday to ask a judge to extend votinghours in Hartford to accommodate...
Today\’s Quote Of The Day came during an interview on the radio network News One For Black America, thus to a primarily Black audience. Here it is: “I give everyone full permission to eat some fried chicken after theyvote only after – if you haven\’t voted…I do talk about health. But I thinkthat a good victory for Democrats on Tuesday, you know, should berewarded...
With so many scandals, and so much incompetence, ineptitude and covering-up by this woeful administration, the IRS scandal has the potential to fall by the wayside. Well it isn\’t going to do that at dailycaller.com. And it isn\’t going to at this blog either. Excerpted from Patrick Howley\’s illuminating, unsettling article at the aforesaid...
It\’s done. I\’ve gone to my polling place and voted. At the table where I signed in, the woman who looked up my name called me “Joel”. I told her she had the wrong guy and, with obvious surprise, she said I look like someone else in the district with that name. I prefer to think he is very, very handsome. I then asked her whether, given that she clearly...
For whatever it is worth to you, here are my expectations – not predictions, I don\’t do predictions – regarding today\’s midterm elections: -In the senate, Republicans will wind up with a gain of as few as 5-6 seats and as many as 10. I expect them to wind up with 7 or 8, therefore to take control of the senate. I would be major-league...
How many times can someone in North Carolina claim to be someone else, but be allowed to vote anyway? Well, as James O’Keefe, from the increasingly invaluable Project Veritas, discovered, the answer is indeterminate….since he has documented that it was allowed 20 out of the 21 times he tried…and who knows how many other times if they kept videotaping. From David...
As Israel perches, tenuously, between the ongoing series of attempts to annihilate it and kill all its Jewish citizens, I thought I would put up a series of quotes from one of its very greatest citizens. They come from Golda Meir, the Kiev-born, Milwaukee-raised, former schoolteacher who emigrated to Israel as a young adult and eventually became its Prime...
I\’m sort of assuming that anyone who knows a thing about Bob Schieffer would dispute the above title. But not the hate-crowd of regular commenters over at one of my “favorite” (in a manner of speaking) hard-left web sites, crooksandliars.com. A good many of them have decided that Mr. Schieffer is both of those ugly things. Why? How did a man...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from advertising executive and “Morning Joe” regular, Donny Deutsch. Mr. Deutsch understands that Republicans are doing extremely well this year by making the election a referendum on President Obama. But he cannot fathom why this would be; why Mr. Obama is so low in the polls, when he\’s doing such a bang-up...
If more money had been available to research the cause, and cure, for ebola, would we be further along now than we are? Common sense tells us the answer is probably yes. That is why President Obama and his fellow Democrats spent a considerable effort during this campaign season to convince voters that Republicans, by underfunding research on ebola, are a cause – maybe the...
