Quotes of the day

“‘I don’t live in Alaska and I’m not the mother to all these kids and I don’t have other responsibilities that she has,’ said Santorum. I’m sure Santorum’s wife and seven children at home in … Virginia really appreciate his approach to parenting.”
***
“Santorum happens to be the father to seven children—one might assume no matter the parenting balance in the Santorum household, he does, in fact, have some responsibilities in addition to attending CPAC. But more interesting here is the criticism he’s subtly rescuscitating. In ’08, one of the few things many women on both sides of the aisle could agree on re: Palin was that she had steamrolled over the expectation that women could only go into politics in a big way once their kids were raised, and this was a good thing. Republican women and consultants told me this fall over and over again that seeing her up on the stage at the 2008 GOP convention with her young kids was a moment that everything suddenly looked different, more possible for them. It’s how the whole Mama Grizzly movement began, this version of conservative feminism that we found vexing and powerful all at once. Maybe Santorum’s comments were a one-off from a sui generis conservative, or maybe it’s a sign that the good ‘ol boys on the right (and perhaps the left, too) are no longer quite as entranced and stymied by the possibility of grizzly power.”
***
“‘Just because I’m a mom that does not mean that I didn’t want to be there,’ Palin said in an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, referring to the gathering of conservatives in Washington that begins on Thursday.
“‘I’m the proud mother of five,’ Palin added. ‘My kids don’t hold me back from attending a conference.’…
“‘I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal,’ Palin said. ‘I’ll let his wife call him that instead.’”

If y’all heard my howling laughter, y’all would be afraid.

Organizer bus votes count just as much as intense votes. Good thing gubernatorial elections on VA don’t coincide with presidential elections.

As long as the polls are not filled with illegal votes and voters, no democrat should ever be elected again outside of New England and the Pacific coast. The rest of the country is still sane.

Come on, Virginia, man up! Terry will spend all his time raising money for the Democrats.

Every time you have “NBC/Marist Poll” in a headline, I always misread it as “NBC/Marxist Poll”. I think my version is more accurate.

Kenneth Cuccinelli could be a great.
Capitalist Hog on May 8, 2013 at 12:57 PM
LEVIN loves him some Cooch.
But would he be another Jeff Flake?
PappyD61 on May 8, 2013 at 1:00 PM
He he.. I always read it the same way.. Must be the correlation my brain makes between NBC and Marxists.
melle1228 on May 8, 2013 at 1:02 PM
I don’t understand the question, Jeff Flake is in Congress. One thing for sure, he won’t be Terry McAuliffe.
Cindy Munford on May 8, 2013 at 1:06 PM
Yes, McAuliffe can (and does) spew BS like an erupting volcano but he’s just another ‘tax and spend’ Marxist.
Thanks for posting. I thought perhaps I was the only one that red it that way.
PS As a Virginia resident, I don’t recall my household being contacted to contribute to an NBC/’Marxist’ poll. Guess I’ll have to express myself at my polling place.

Nothing a truckload of missing ballots won’t fix. Add in a legion of illegal aliens, felons, dead and multiple voters… along with a couple of 100% Mccauliffe distiricts and it’s a landslide.

…have his people vote more often!

Just like the dead heat in last night’s drubbing in SC.

Wasn’t Romney winning the intensity gap? I will say this Ken Cuccinelli is a hottie, perhaps he should consider some shirtless campaign stops.
libfreeordie on May 8, 2013 at 2:01 PM
I hope that the Republicans learned a lesson from the election of Al Franken and that they like the Democrats have tens of thousands of ballots waiting to be “found” in closets, car trunks and anywhere else they can think of.

Cooch has a face for the ladies (and a few others), and it is not hurting him. Maybe VA can let him go national in 2016.
