It’s been noted that during the recent campaign Obama managed to get himself into trouble more often than not when he was forced into speaking impromtu. It hasn’t even been a week and we’re seeing that the trend is going to continue, if not worsen. President-elect Obama called Nancy Reagan on Friday to apologize for [...]
From the NY Times: Mr. Pruett said that sales last Saturday, just before Election Day, ran about seven times higher than a typical good Saturday. A spot check by reporters in four other states easily found Mr. Pruett’s comments echoed from both sides of the counter. David Nelson, a co-owner of Montana Ordnance & Supply [...]
Michelle Malkin has a column up at the National Review Online about the recent “leakers,” supposedly insiders of the McCain campaign, who are throwing around as much spiteful gossip about Sarah Palin as they can generate. There’s no better word for people like these so I won’t even try. But I’ve also been listening to [...]
One of the items from Tuesday’s results that I hadn’t had the chance to remark upon was the voter turnout. In Loudoun County, the turnout was 66.38% of total voters which was actually a little worse than statewide. Virginia as a whole had a 72.28% turnout, a tremendous response. Results completely aside, this was the [...]
Victor Davis Hanson on “The Day After.”
I note this morning that I’ve been remiss in offering congrats to Senator (now President-elect) Obama for his victory on Tuesday.

The 51 of you nutballs that voted for Cynthia McKinney need to have your heads examined. Seriously. Mark Warner carried Loudoun in his Senate bid by a margin of 60.88% [...]
(Update: See the Loudoun Election Results post for the Loudoun-specific results, including the ballot questions.) This will be on ongoing update for selected elections returns from here in Virginia with a specific focus on Loudoun County. As widely expected, Mark Warner is running roughshod over Jim Gilmore for the Senate seat being vacated by John [...]
The headline of the Washington Times story is “Warner breezes to Senate win in Virginia.” This is interesting to me because the story is showing published at 7:03pm, November 4, 2008. In other words, about 3 minutes after the polls closed. Don’t take my word for it, look at this screen capture: The text of [...]
Well, 1st things 1st: I clearly underestimated how busy I’d be at the poll. I was hoping to be able to put in occasional updates throughout the day but just couldn’t dedicate the time to thumb one in on the PDA phone I have. The turnout was plenty strong in the precinct I worked. Based [...]
