Hillary’s Magnequench story. ABC News has it now. Story is getting legs and rightly so. Very glad to see the MSM start to call her on her BS:
Andy Albers, a former vice president of Magnequench, said he received a phone call from Clinton’s campaign to go over key details of Clinton’s Valparaiso event […]

Nothing says “blue collar” like not being able to use a coffee machine in a convenience store:
-
You know darling, I normally have my coffee dispensed to me by my assistant who brings it to me no later than 7:30am Eastern with a nice chocolate chip biscotti.
(ht Schecter and friends)

The speech I posted earlier is now an ad (and a good one). The Truth:
-
Even lists a 3 point plan! That should get Modern Esquire all hot and bothered. Look Modern! Bullet points!

For some reason HRC’s campaign thought it would be a great idea to have her ride to work with some working class Indiana guy - stopping along the way to fill up at a gas station full of reporters.
They picked a guy who drives an F-250 pickup (10 mpg) 45 minutes to work every day […]

Sure, gas is expensive. I know there are working families (and truckers) who this affects more than others. I might be glad prices are up to act as an incentive to invest in a vehicle with better fuel efficiency (that would then be used even after prices go down), but I know in […]

In an obvious attempt to screw over Governor Strickland, House Republicans are trying to add Rep. Adams’ stupid keno prohibition bill as an amendment to the payday lending bill that Strickland promised to sign.
UPDATE:
DeWine moves to reconsider the Keno amendment
House votes 61 to 34 to remove it
Pay Day Lending Bill sans Keno amendment passes 68 […]

A new poll from Monmouth University shows that some New Jersey Democrats have changed their mind since voting for Hillary in February’s primary…
Clinton bested Obama in the New Jersey presidential primary on February 5th by a 54%
to 44% margin. However, the ongoing nomination contest seems to have given some Garden
State Democrats second thoughts. Currently, more […]

No. No way. I can’t believe they would DO that! Tim at BI is all over this one - and will probably remain so.
It will be interesting to see and hear the fallout from this one. WVWV is already trying to stem the tide of outrage by apologizing.
Fun, […]

I new Gallup Panel survey in which people are asked to “describe in their own words ‘what comes to mind’ when they think of the three leading presidential candidates.”
Not surprisingly, Hillary’s negatives are huge compared to Obama and McCain. 55% of the respondents have a negative opinion of Hillary compared to 40% for McCain […]

In a recent interview with the Columbus Education Association, Governor Strickland discussed his plans to improve Ohio’s educational system.
The first goal of his plan is “to strengthen our commitment to Ohio’s public schools and public education.” With this commitment comes “increased accountability measures for charters.”
But the Governor admits this won’t happen while Republicans control […]

…and they’ll probably buy it hook line and sinker. This ad looks and sounds great.

But like so many other Hillary strategies, the finger that she is trying to point is actually toward a mirror that reflects right back at her. Those jobs lost when Magnaquench moved to China? Happened on […]

So Susan can tell me to man up all she wants. This new poll bears out my worry (despite political speak of candidates saying everything’s gonna be alright):
WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters increasingly dislike the Democratic presidential candidate they are not supporting, according to a new survey and exit polls, raising questions about the party’s […]

Boy do they ever!
Dozens of scientists are demanding that their names be removed from a widely distributed Heartland Institute article entitled 500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares.
What do they do? Oh, just email 122 of the people on the list - which nets them 40 or so emails […]

Surprise, surprise, surprise!
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn’t have done more damage to Barack Obama’s campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that’s just what one friend of Wright wanted.
Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted […]

USA Today polled 52 economists asking “Do you think the U.S. economy is currently is a recession?”
67% said Yes.
Another 12% said we would be this year.
President Bush, however, still refuses to admit it- instead calling our current situation just a ‘very slow economy’.
His solution: make his 2001 tax cuts for the rich […]
