  • WI governor’s race coming down to Hong vs Stop-Hong

    and Paul Fanlund v John Nichols. Like any public opinion poll, there’s enough wiggle room to satisfy Harry Truman’s two-handed economist* in the latest Marquette Law School poll released today. For one thing, it was conducted before Sara Rodriquez pulled out and David Crowley got back in, which limits its predictive value. Professor Charles Franklin’s…

  • Nine big problems for Democrats running for WI governor

Our biggest threat is the surrender of a major political party to intolerant, enterprise-sapping socialists. This…

  • How do you like them now?

    Kelda Roys called police ‘dragoons’! We’re reading Max Boot’s biography of Ronald Reagan. “He was always gracious, … always smiling,” a newsman remembered from Reagan’s days as governor of California.  Max Boot comments: “Whether they admit it or not, journalists will pull their punches when writing about someone they like.” (Love the author’s name!
