Black Conservatives Take Lead Role in Tea Party Movement
Though the tea party movement has attracted criticism for its supposed lack of diversity, minority activists who are involved say the movement has little to do with race, and that it is attracting a more diverse crowd every day.

The “money bomb” for Scott Brown appears to be turning into “carpet bombing” (moved from Off-Topic - thanks for the link, deanz)…
As one commenter pointed out, at this rate, lack of direct support by the RNC is rapidly becoming a virtual non-issue.

Conservatives Finish 2009 as No. 1 Ideological Group
PRINCETON, NJ — The increased conservatism that Gallup first identified among Americans last June persisted throughout the year, so that the final year-end political ideology figures confirm Gallup’s initial reporting: conservatives (40%) outnumbered both moderates (36%) and liberals (21%) across the nation in 2009.
More broadly, the percentage of […]
Hot Air » Blog Archive » Waterloo: Obama approval at 47 in new NBC poll, tea party more popular than Dems or GOP
For the first time, Obama’s overall job approval rating has fallen below 50 percent (to 47 percent). In addition, for the first time since Sept. 2007, a plurality (45 percent) sees the Democratic […]

Christopher Buckley: I Would Still Vote Obama - Forbes.com
Our choice, last fall, was between an angry 73 year old with a legislative record far from consistently conservative, who nominated as his running mate a know-nothing religious extremist; on the other side was an appealing, thoughtful man who–for a brief shining moment–seemed to be more […]
We hear over and over again these days from supposed conservatives that we need to “refashion the conservative message,” or that we must “rebrand the conservative movement.”
Their real message is that conservatism needs something new, as if novelty itself were some sort of “feature” of conservatism.
But over at the Classic Liberal, Mike Todd reminded me […]
I always remind people from outside our state that there’s plenty of room for all of Alaska’s animals — right next to the mashed potatoes.”

Election 2010: Arizona Governor GOP Primary - Rasmussen Reports™
If Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio decides to seek the Republican nomination for governor of Arizona, he will enter the race as the clear favorite. Incumbent Governor Jan Brewer places third in an early look at the 2010 GOP gubernatorial race.

Instapundit » Blog Archive » WILL JOHN MCCAIN need Sarah Palin to save him in Arizona?
J.D. Hayworth is polling well against him, and would likely enjoy Tea Party support in the primary . . .
If Palin endorses McCain over Hayworth, she will immediately forfeit all her credibility with the emerging GOP conservative majority, as […]
One of the stupider things I have heard lately « A Conservative Shemale
What’s objectionable about Objectivism – I’ve noticed that a lot of novelists seem to be purists. I guess that is because in novels you can force a system to work. It seems to be true of bloggers too. Probably for the same reason. […]
Owens-Hoffman Race Tightens: NY-23 Election Will Depend On Absentee Ballots
ALBANY, N.Y. — The special election last week for the 23rd Congressional District seat in New York may not be over after all.
Though Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman conceded and Democrat Bill Owens was sworn into Congress last week, the routine recanvassing of votes shows Owens’ lead […]
Twenty years and they’re still with us.
Several articles from Biggovernment.

NY-23 & 2012 - Kathryn Jean Lopez - The Corner on National Review Online
And in New York’s 23rd, he didn’t support the Republican who would drop out and endorse the Democrat, thereby throwing a political pie in the face of every Republican who had endorsed her. Romney stands out without pie on his face.

The Greenroom » Forum Archive » Dangerous Lessons
Blaming Doug Hoffman, or people like Fred Thompson and Sarah Palin who pitched in to help his outsider campaign, for last night’s narrow defeat would be a dangerous mistake. The fault lies with a party that made it necessary for Hoffman to knock out Scozzafava in the first […]

The Other McCain: I’ll give Newt a ‘C’
Allah Pundit links Newt eating some crow on Hannity. Allah throws on an interesting spin:
His endorsement was always strategic, to support Republican leaders at the local level and dissuade third-party challenges next year.
The best way to dissuade third-party challenges from conservatives is to avoid […]

Kausfiles : Election 2009: Some Winners, Losers,
Losers: Beck, Limbaugh, New Media conservatives who thought the rebellious Reaganite vote was bigger than it turned out to be in NY-23. … Also Dem-leaning MSM who were planning to use a rebellious Reaganite victory as demonstrating a tea-party takeover of GOP (as opposed to a botched candidate-selection process).

Roger L. Simon » Election 2009: The Strange Case of NY23
Well… I might as well say it… social conservatism. America is a fiscally conservative country – now perhaps more than ever, and with much justification – but not a socially conservative one. No, I don’t mean to say it’s socially liberal. It’s not. It’s socially […]
First, to counter the spin from the Gingriches of the world, the blame for losing lies directly at the feet of a Republican Party that nominated, and then backed to the hilt until the last moment, a Democrat. Had they nominated and backed the conservative Doug Hoffman, we would never have heard of this […]
Intrade Prediction Markets
Holy Moley! It looks as if this blowout is going to be even bigger than I thought! Corzine’s stock at Intrade has collapsed over the last hour from 50+ to 7. And commenters at various blogs are spreading rumors that some venues are getting ready to call the race for […]

It might tighten up some before it’s all said and done, but right now, with 84% of the vote in and Deeds having conceded, it looks like McDonnell blew him away in the range of 60% to 40%. That’s a slaughter any way you look at it.
Nice start for 2010.
Thank you, my fellow Virginians!
Where’s Mitt Romney? by Kathryn Jean Lopez on National Review Online
If nothing else, NY-23 may have been Mitt Romney giving this signal: Gone is the electoral cycle where conservatives say “Jump!” and I ask “How high?”
Yeah, that’s what we want to see in a presidential candidate at this point - some socialized medicine supporting establishmentarian […]
The Other McCain: NY23: Visit to a Watertown precinct
UPDATE: Dave Weigel has a report on a Christian conservative door-to-door canvassing operation. BTW, this district has been overdone in terms of phone operations. People working on Hoffman’s live phone banks have told me that many voters, after being bombarded by robocalls, are very irritable about getting […]

Hot Air » Blog Archive » The stupid party
Too much of the Republicans’ “Stupid Party” strategy is based on the mechanics of getting people with little elephants on their campaign signs elected. They view the election as the conclusion of a contest, when in fact it’s only the beginning. A successful Republican Party doesn’t have […]
The Big Question: The Scozzafava effect? - The Hill’s Congress Blog
Glenn Reynolds:
Whether it’s a Pyrrhic victory or not depends not on who wins tomorrow, but on how the GOP establishment, and the Tea Party movement, act afterward. If they reconcile and work together, it’s good news for the GOP. If they engage in extended infighting, […]
