The math and science challenged news media is all atwitter over a spy satellite that has ended its operational life and will burn up during re-entry with some of it surviving to hit the Earth: A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and could hit the Earth in late February or March, government officials […]

How is it John McCain is now best positioned to win the GOP nomination? If he wins FL (and recent endorsements by Gov Crist and Sen Martinez shows he has some gathering strength there) he will have supposedly turned the GOP on its head. Rush Limbaugh predicts the end of the party as we all […]

When medical treatment becomes limited because all the incentives have been taken out of the activity, when the best and brightest move onto other fields, where government rations healthcare instead of businesses competing for patients, you get the horrors of socialized medicine. And one horror is how rationing a limited resource with limited competence can […]

9:33 PM Eastern: OK, Hillary got romped! With 98% if the vote in Obama got 55% and and Hillary only got 27%. I would say Hillary is in deep, deep trouble.

OK, looks like McCain is going to be the GOP nominee. Fox is reporting FL Governor Crist has coming out to endorse McCain. Combine that with Sen Martinez I think that will pretty much seal up FL and the nomination for McCain. As I did in 2006, I underestimated the blow back against the GOP […]

I would guess exit polls are telling a bad story for Clinton in SC since her campaign has released a memo this evening that says forget SC, look to FL. Regardless of today’s outcome, the race quickly shifts to Florida, where hundreds of thousands of Democrats will turn out to vote on Tuesday. Despite efforts […]

I keep saying the GOP and its supporters cannot be Pollyannish about who can win in 2008. It is clear from just about every primary the Dems are motivated and the GOP is flat. SC is just underscoring that fact today: In 2004, about 290,000 people voted in the Democratic presidential primary. Party officials are […]

The polls are very fickled this year. It’s as if the public is saying ‘catch us if you can, but we are going to make some changes’. I predicted a while back Obama would win SC due to the Clinton’s screw up in playing the race card (why take a fake first black president when […]

I have been having fun with the Romney Mystery Whisper in the post below, but as this story has unfolded I think it is more and more implausible. OK, there is no way the tie-mic picked up an earpiece (and yes, they come that small) but clearly what did happen was someone in the control […]

Update: More here, including a second whisper which Mitt responds to and therefore must hear. – end update Here’s something we heard last night and wondered about – did Romney have a small speaker tucked underneath his collar so he could be coached through the debate? My guess is yes he did: The fact is […]
