We are being treated to the usual hysterical Henny-Penny crocodile tears about the sky falling. There is weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The world as we know it is coming to an end. John McCain, that durn Republican, met with Hispanics. Can you believe it. John McCain had the audacity to meet with Hispanics! Those nasty Hispanics...they do it every time.
A four part series on a few theories about the coming election are located below. It did not start out that way, but that’s how I’ve posted it. I am throwing in a number of trackbacks in the introduction. Some may belong elsewhere in the article.
It is possible we are seeing some major changes in not only the GOP, but the Democratic Party. We could also be seeing changes in the Libertarian and Constitution Parties. Frankly, I don’t think the latter parties have enough members to make a difference, but there are some conservatives who ... more»
What do we really know? Hard line anti-immigration “reform” is a loser for the GOP. Last night Lindsey basically slaughtered hard-line CofCC racist Buddy Witherspoon.

This makes the latest Jim DeMint move a little puzzling. He is forming a PAC ... more»
They’ve found some disgusting anti-Semitism on Obama’s official site that has been officially removed. Same old same old if you ask me. Fortunately cooler heads did a few screen shots so I don’t think they can wriggle out of this. Bill Stevenson has a good posting about the GOP’s efforts to create an energy bill, which was naturally squelshed by the Dems. Jim Fryar tells us that Clint Eastwood is supporting Big Mac!
THE NEXT BIG MAC ATTACK There’s a new Big Mac Attack you should be aware of. The Daily Kos is going to ... more»
A Republican friend emailed a link to this today. She’s concerned attacks like this are going to hurt John McCain this fall. The author or the piece in question, John Dendahl was the NMGOP’s impotent 2006 nominee to run against Bill Richardson. He has a half-way decent resume, but there were questions about how he arrived at his nomination, but that’s a different story.
