What continues to transpire on the Keyboard Komando side of the aisle is truly alarming. This week we’re breathlessly told the law student, the one throughly smeared for daring to mention women’s health as an issue of import for some voters, has a boyfriend. And he’s not just any old hell-bound non-Christian, he’s one of those successful, book learn’n intellectual types. You know the kind: [Read more…]
After Santorum’s frothy surge in last night’s primaries, the talk of tradmed town inevitably turned to Newt. He’s losing right and left, both metaphorically and literally, he’s being dragged through the mud viciously by Romney’s Borg, he can’t even win the neoconfederate regions that spawned him. Santorum, yes Rick Santorum, has beaten Gingrich in 20 of the last 24 states, and by staying in Gingrich virtually assures Romney, a man he clearly despises, the nomination. “Why stay in” they’re all asking?

It has combinations of district thresholds, open delegates, and winner take all provisions. Confused? See below [Read more…]
It’s not exactly a surprise that on the right, in the two states holding primaries tomorrow, Mississippi and Alabama, the anti-science Teaparty ignoramuses run the show. But data from the PPP poll on voter preferences below also held some interesting data about evolution and Obama that really drive home just how out of touch these voters are. [Read more…]
