During the campaign, Sen. John Kerry invoked former President Ronald Reagan's foreign policy as a model that he would attempt to emulate as commander-in-chief. This was a laughable assertion because Kerry spent much of his Senate career opposing the Reagan defense build-up and Reagan's support of anti-communist rebels in Latin America. Over at The Wall […]

Barring any unexpected, last-minute developments, the GOP will have a 55-44-1 majority in Congress' upper chamber. After President Bush and Vice President Cheney helped Pennsylvania's senior Senator Arlen Specter fend off a strong primary challenge from conservative Pat Toomey, Specter has decided to bite the hand that feeds him. Specter, as presumptive chairman of the […]

John Hinderaker, who blogged for NBC on election night, recounts an encounter with an assistant producer: Early in the day, a very young woman who was working as an assistant producer leaned over to me and whispered, "Are you the conservative?" I said Yes. "Don't tell anyone," she whispered, "but I'm on your side." I […]

Some wag is selling off Michael Moore's relevance in the wake of President Bush's victory on Tuesday. One of the nice things about eBay is that questions to the seller can be posted along with their responses regarding the product. Q: Do we get the entire Michael Moore? And if so, how much will shipping […]

I'm not talking about the term starting Jan. 20, 2005, for George W. Bush. The barking moonbats over at Daily Kos, completely nuts with the defeat of John Kerry, have suggested a "tactic" to continue their attacks on Bush's legitimacy.

For example, CNN called California for Kerry almost immediately after the polls closed, but took its time to give Kerry Washington State. Fox, on the […]

The networks are loath to call enough states for President Bush to be declared the victor, but I will. Bush wins Nevada, Ohio and New Mexico (and very likely Iowa). Those of you who are still up at this ridiculous hour can now go to bed.

With the Fox News Channel call of Ohio for Bush, one co-worker has already inquired about working in Canada for the next four years. There aren't a lot of happy faces around here.

Just checked out CNN's election blog and there's a posting by Crossfire host/Kerry adviser Paul Begala regarding Florida: How on God's Earth do we not have absentee ballots counted in Florida? Jeb Bush and Glenda Hood -- the Republican secretary of state playing the part of Katherine Harris -- are making the state look like […]

I'm watching ABC News' coverage here in the newsroom -- calm before the storm here until California's polls close -- and ABC hasn't called Montana for Bush. Montana is a solid Bush state and I understand news executives being cautious, but as soon as the polls closed at 7 p.m. PST, the AP sent out […]
