Video: Ken Blackwell speaking at the ‘Defending the American Dream’ Summit
In this video clip, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell addresses the closing session of the ‘Defending the American Dream’ Summit in Washington, DC. Blackwell and former Senator Rick Santorum both spoke at this final event of the summit…

12. October 2008
The most recent RCP average shows Barack Obama ahead of McCain by around 7% in the last month heading up to the election. These last few weeks are very critical; historically, voters have already made up their minds. Obama has leads in swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Nevada by about 2-4%. Both candidates are [...]

12. October 2008
The ACORN voter registration scandal has been getting at least some mainstream media attention, but I think there’s actually much more to this story. The Obama campaign’s ties to this group and its leaders needs to be fully explored and understood. Of course Democrats and Obama staffers are rushing to pour water all [...]

11. October 2008
As the media has been all too happy to report lately, a few people at McCain rallies have been exhibiting nasty characteristics - calling Obama all manner of names, which aren’t necessarily supported by reality. All week, supporters of the GOP ticket have yelled ugly accusations about Obama as McCain and running mate Gov. Sarah Palin [...]

11. October 2008
The ballroom used for last night’s dinner has been converted into what looks like a political party convention floor. Tables with signs that indicate each state’s delegation. It makes one wonder if this organization exists to lay the framework for some future ‘Prosperity Party’ or other more directly electoral evolution. They’ve got a live feed going [...]

11. October 2008
Bill Dyer at Townhall.com has made an interesting point with respect to Palin’s supposed public admission that her husban Todd had attempted to get trooper Mike Wooten fired - it simply isn’t true: Monegan himself has repeatedly admitted, in vivid language, that neither Gov. Palin, nor First Dude Todd Palin, nor anyone else ever told him, [...]

11. October 2008
A probe into the Alaskan “troopergate” scandal involving Sarah Palin’s administration, her family and members of the Department of Public Safety has yielded a decision that she acted improperly to have Walt Monegan, the DPS Commissioner, dismissed. Supposedly, Monegan’s dismissal was related to his reluctance to fire Mike Wooten, an Alaskan State Trooper who had [...]

10. October 2008
The highlight of tonight’s Americans for Prosperity dinner dedicated to Ronald Reagan was an extended speech by conservative columnist George Will. Will used his time to speak about the current economic crisis facing America. He described the root cause as an “excess of consumption” and the “democratization of credit” in our nation. [...]
Continue reading...More observations from the ‘American Dream’ Summit
10. October 2008
A couple more observations from the ‘Defending the American Dream’ Summit… The positives… The venue is fantastic. Lots of space, nice ballrooms, and access to an underground tunnel that leads to an underground mall. There’s also an attached Metro Station right there. It makes it very easy to get around. Also glad I [...]
Continue reading...First impressions from the Defending the American Dream Summit
9. October 2008
I arrived at Reagan National Airport around 5pm today and made my way over to the hotel shuttle area. The Marriott shuttle arrived about 20 minutes later. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that there are three different Marriott brand hotels right next to the airport. First, I jumped off the shuttle at the [...]
