What MSNBC was afraid to show.

As I wrote on Twitter last night, we got Artur Davis, and the Democrats got Charlie Crist.  So far it looks like a great trade, and they didn’t even get a player to be named later.  We’ll see how Crist does next week in his speech to the Democratic convention, but Davis wowed the crowd [...]

Another op'nin' for another show!

The velvet glove and the iron fist are on the docket tonight as the first official night of festivities hosts Ann Romney, showing the softer side of her husband, and New Jersey Gov.

Zellsmanship.

Turnaround artists.

Remember when the media kept insisting that the unity problem in the presidential election belonged entirely to Mitt Romney and the GOP?  Good times, good times.  The Hill reports this morning that Team Obama’s strategy of demonizing Bain Capital has two high-profile members of the Democratic Senate Caucus backing away from their party leader: Some [...]
