Can You Feel the Surge?

Rasmussen Reports, a GOP-leaning polling outfit, and one with a rather strong record of accuracy in these things, has released its February numbers for the Governor’s race here.
The surprise isn’t so much that Bill Ritter, who’s essentially a mortal lock to win the nomination for the Democrats, is leading both “Both Ways” Bob Beauprez and [...]

Four More Dead in Iraq

Not that anybody seems to care anymore, but in the midst of all the carnage and destruction that signals an expanding civil war in Iraq, we lost four more soldiers yesterday. That brings the total of dead soldiers in this war to 2,284. Think about it–we’ve lost more soldiers in this war than we lost [...]

Another thought on Hackett withdrawing…

Actually, two thoughts, both of which will be vastly overshadowed by the news of the man leaving the race.
First, not that his staff’s well-being should be topmost in his mind, but his apparently sudden decision to cast it all aside really doesn’t reflect well upon him. For example, Karl Frisch (whom many of you knew [...]

Super Bowl XL wasn’t it. True, there were exciting moments, but the game itself wasn’t all that great. Even the commercials, which [...]

Gone Yesterday, Forgotten Today

I’m not much for post-mortems, especially when everyone else has had their say. But I’m with Craig Crawford on this one:
