McCain and Giuliani beat Hillary and Obama. Time has the numbers… Republicans are so morose in general, and conservatives so unhappy with their current field of candidates, that the assumption of a Democratic advantage has become bi-partisan. And with the public so soured on the Republican in the White House, and so many other trends [...]
I’m just speculating here, but I believe we’re witnessing more money being raised earlier than at any other time in history. And hey, thank god for that, right? No, but seriously…just read this and tell me if it doesn’t make you queasy… “Clintonites tamp down expectations for first-quarter fund raising, sticking with estimates of up [...]
Pretty funny… A Baptist minister, Mr. Huckabee expressed impatience with the political choices so far of some religious conservatives. In the March Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, Mr. Giuliani led among Republicans with 38%; even among evangelical voters, the twice-divorced former New York City mayor, a supporter of abortion rights, received 37% to 2% for [...]

From the Chicago Tribune: HOUSTON — Shaquanda Cotton, the teenage black girl in the small east Texas town of Paris who was sent to prison for up to seven years for shoving a teacher’s [...]
It’s not as simple as that, but the math is pretty stark. GlaxoSmithKline, which spent decades and more than $400 million developing a meningitis vaccine, expects to sell it only in Africa, and at a price that will never cover the cost of development. As the story notes, this is not an entirely selfless act. [...]
Coming on the heels of the Democrats using $20 billion in pork to buy votes for their war-funding bill, this has me a little bit wary: federal agency that tracked pork-barrel spending during the 12 years of the Republican congressional majority has discontinued the practice…. The Congressional Research Service, a nonpartisan agency of the Library [...]
