The RNC under Reince Priebus frequently finds itself walking on eggshells in an attempt to make sure that everyone who wants a shot at the presidential nomination gets their fair chance. This can be tricky when you have to schedule a lot of debates and

You could point and laugh at the Beltway, and you should, but since D.C. is involved, there will no doubt be some of your money involved at some point, too. Also, pity the poor normal people in the rest of Virginia who must endure the antics of Northern

6/2/2015 8:01:42 PM  Ed Morrissey

Remember the rationale for Hillary Clinton’s infamous “reset button” with Russia, given to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov? Hillary and Barack Obama claimed that the issues with US-Russian relations were created by George W. Bush

Serious question: Who would be Rand Paul's VP?

Given his chances at the nomination, I suppose this is a more of a semi-serious question. But I started thinking about it when writing the “VP Romney” post and found myself surprised at how hard it is to come up with a good answer. So I put

Here’s what it looks like when someone with impeccable left-wing credentials gets quizzed in the media for suggesting that women secretly crave sexual violence. Skip to 1:40 for the key bit. The point here isn’t that Meyers, a late-night

This story is actually quite fascinating and it obviously has something to do with changes in the climate, but just how to explain it all remains a subject of contention. You would think that increasing temperatures would make things worse in the deserts

Video: MSNBC panel stunned at lack of enthusiasm for coronation

Oddly, it’s Morning Joe, the one MSNBC show that manages to stay out of the Kool-Aid tank for Democrats, so the surprise is notable. “It’s still early,” Jonathan Capehart tells Joe Scarborough, who says, “I never thought

C’mon, you know I had to blog it. The only thing better on a slow news day than “Romney 2016″ silliness would be a big new poll on atheist gay marriage. Don’t let me down, YouGov. He lost a Senate race in Massachusetts, then won

What do you do if you throw a big party but nobody shows up? That wasn’t quite the case for Hillary Clinton this week, but it was close. It seems that one of her high profile, Big Apple supporters set up a private, “women only” event

The Senate has busied itself with the NSA and its operations under the Patriot Act for weeks, but it appears that it will come to a denouement one way or the other this afternoon. The upper chamber took a short break this afternoon, but it will reconvene

Poll: More now blame Obama's policies for the current problems in Iraq than blame Bush's
6/2/2015 1:21:58 PM  Allahpundit

This may seem like a no-brainer — of course the guy who’s been in charge for six years bears more responsibility for the current state of affairs than his predecessor — but for much of the public, Iraq is “Bush’s war”

The move to “draft” Elizabeth Warren into the Democrat primary was one of the more popular bits of media catnip for quite a while. It attracted a large number of activists who were well to the left of Hillary Clinton’s stated positions,
