Imagine what would have happened in the midterm elections if the Jonathan Gruber videos had emerged a week before November 4th than the week after. Actually, we don’t have to imagine it, at least not entirely. There is one more Senate race still

Amazing, that is, because this could have easily been parody. Instead, it makes one wonder what might have been for the Lost Prequel Trilogy had someone else wrested control of the Star Wars franchise from George Lucas. Like Disney, perhaps, who gets the

Somehow, the message Hillary Clinton's nascent presidential campaign took from 2014 is that the former secretary of state is a rising star and Democrats are winning the future. That is the inevitable takeaway from an interview Talking Points Memo's Dylan

If we had any doubt about whether or not the grand jury would be returning a decision in the Michael Brown shooting case, I think we can put it to rest. And along the same lines, it seems a safe bet that the Governor thinks he knows which way that

FEC looking into GOP's Twitter activities?
11/17/2014 5:31:49 PM  Ed Morrissey
33 Comments
But will they do much about the alleged Twitter coordination between the RNC and outside groups, as reported by CNN’s Chris Moody? Probably not, because (a) election law is “murky” on this point, and (b) proving the kind of coordination

You have to hand it to Democrat strategist Donna Brizile, who really should be one of the most popular people in Republican circles. The same woman who thought asking how much money Hillary makes is sexist and can’t understand why her health care
