While Democratic Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias trails leading Republican hopeful Mark Kirk by just three points, Democratic rival David Hoffman - who trails Kirk by seven - still claims to be the more electable of the two. The Hoffman campaign released some of its own polling data on Tuesday and The Hill reports that Hoffman believes Giannoulias' lead over him to be solely down to name recognition,...

See PARDON POWER for more information. In previous blog entries, I have followed the Bush and Clinton pardons and commutations of sentences. So far, after 10 months in office, BHO has not exercised this executive power. He has appointed crooks, tax cheats, and other assorted low lives to be unconfirmed "czars" with secretary level powers as his expansion of government with no oversight,...

On Saturday the Washington Post took a look at February's Democratic Primary for US Senate in Illinois, and it reported that some Democrats were nervous about the prospect of State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias winning that race. But the post just scratched the surface in regards to why they are tense. Yes, it mentioned that covicted political swindler Antoin "Tony" Rezko was a customer of...

In 2002, Rod Blagojevich ended the political career of Jim Ryan, Illinois’s attorney general, by defeating him in the general election for governor. Now, with Blagojevich disgraced and Republicans seeing opportunities in 2010 that they haven’t glimpsed in several election cycles, Ryan seems to be angling towards a run for the governorship. But some Illinois political observers think his...

One can understand an American president’s lobbying for an American city to obtain the Olympics, but the blitz by the Obamas proved a PR nightmare. Let us count the ways: 1) Obama’s brand is trans-nationalism and an “America is not exceptional” multiculturalism. According to his worldview, it makes sense that a South America -- especially a powerful, ascendant country such...

Just a few short weeks ago the President spoke to Wall Street CEOs on the anniversary of the Lehman Bros. collapse: Unfortunately, there are some in the financial industry who are misreading this moment. Instead of learning the lessons of Lehman and the crisis from which we're still recovering, they're choosing to ignore those lessons. I'm convinced they do so not just at their own peril, but at our...

OK, with the sudden, late Sunday evening resignation of “Green Czar” Van Jones (above left), over a litany of anti-Capitalist, thus anti-American and flat out racist/bigoted statements, consideration must be brought back to Barack Obama’s veritable rogue’s gallery of unsavory and generally far-Left radical “friends.” Sure, the first such “friend” we all...

From NBC's Mark Murray At the town hall Pennsylvania Arlen Specter (D) held yesterday, one attendee said, "If you guys think that we want health-care reform so bad, do this -- let's have a referendum in 2010. We'll tell you if we like your plan or not. How's that work?" In a way, however, there already was a referendum: last year's presidential election, which Obama won by seven percentage...
