It’s our own version of Britain’s Prime Minister’s questions and it’s been happening for nearly an hour live.
Hurry and tune in now on C-SPAN online if you aren’t near a TV.
Yes, Obama has shown some of his finger-wagging tendencies, ignored GOP Rep. Tom Price’s question, complained that health care critics likened Demcare to a “bolshevik” [...]

I’m disappointed, but understand his reasons. Erick Erickson at RedState has the full scoop:
January 26, 2010
Open Letter to Friends and Supporters
As many of you are aware, I have been approached about running for the United States Senate in 2010. Karen and I have been humbled by the outpouring of support and encouragement which we received [...]

Roasted
Ouch. Think he gets the message yet?
Via Miami Herald/AP:
Republican activists in Gov. Charlie Crist’s home county voted 106-54 to support former House Speaker Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate primary.
Monday night’s straw poll was the 11th conducted by a county Republican committee and Rubio has won them all.
The fact that Crist lost in [...]

Scroll for updates…

I noted on Friday that libs were getting “anxious” about the MA Senate race.
The latest numbers from Public Policy Polling should have them hitting the panic button even faster:
The Massachusetts Senate race is now a toss up.
Buoyed by a huge advantage with independents and relative disinterest from Democratic voters in the state, Republican [...]

I encouraged you last week to fight the SEIU/Demcare corruption and contribute to MA GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown’s campaign.
The election date — Jan. 19 — is rapidly approaching and the race has turned competitive thanks to grass-roots conservative pressure.
The NYTimes takes notice today. In a word, Democrats are “anxious:”
While Ms. Coakley kept a low [...]

The Wall Street Journal’s Kim Strassel profiles GOP up-and-comer Sean Duffy, a 38-year-old district attorney in Wisconsin who’s taking on decrepit Democrat incumbent Rep. David Obey. He’s bringing fresh blood and energy to the fight — and he’s focused on fiscal responsibility:

Wisconsin’s Mr. Duffy describes it this way: “I’m running because this is the fight [...]

Sharing an e-mail from reader and fellow Coloradan Jayme, who writes about her congressman, GOP Rep. Mike Coffman. We don’t hear many stories of good guys in Washington these days. Coffman is one of them.
By way of background, Coffman enlisted in the Army at 17, served in the Army Reserve while in college, transferred to [...]

I listened to Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell on Sean Hannity’s radio show yesterday.
He sounded tired and barely able to rally the troops against the Democrats’ government health care takeover.
He told Sean’s guest host at the end of an obligatory-sounding critique of Harry Reid that, and I quote, “We’re going to fight ‘em all the [...]

Memo to GOP candidates: Do not call yourself the “Tea Party backed candidate” if, in fact, Tea Party groups aren’t backing you.
Embarrassing details here: Ugh.
Where’s that head-banging-against-the-wall graphic?
Ah, there:

“I have nothing against white men…but…”

The good news for the GOP comes in a new Gallup poll showing Republicans edging about Democrats ahead of 2010 — and independents breaking the elephants’ way:
Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats by 48% to 44% among registered voters in the latest update on Gallup’s generic congressional ballot for the 2010 House elections, after trailing [...]

Conservatives are making sure the RNC and NRCC hear their voices. As I mentioned this morning, readers continue to e-mail me copies of the rejected RNC solicitation forms they’ve sent back to Washington.
GOP offices better prepare for a new onslaught. As I said earlier this morning, the repercussions of NY-23 will be felt well beyond [...]

Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials dumped nearly $1 million into the race on behalf of radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava, who [...]

Guess it’ll be an early night for all the Democrat water-carriers in the media who have already filed their preemptive pieces downplaying whatever happens tonight after the polls close and the ballots are counting.
Here’s a bit of the Obama-as-a-factor-but-not-as-much-as-we-want-you-to-think analysis of exit poll results.
Politicker reports on the return of “It’s the economy, stupid:”
Forty-six percent of [...]

I noted earlier this morning the GOP’s need to purge its suicidal ACORN/WFP/SEIU alliances.
Last month, I spotlighted Republicans in Illinois who continue to take gobs of money from ACORN’s alter ego, the SEIU.
Anita MonCrief has a related must-read in the Hot Air Green Room on “How NY23 Revealed the Republicans’ ACORN Problem.” Excerpt:
ACORN is a [...]

As if we needed any more evidence that establishment Republicans are conservatism’s own worst enemy:
Godawful.

It’s becoming a regular feature here at michellemalkin.com — disgusted conservative readers sending photos and forwarding their “no, hell no!” responses to national Republican Party fund-raisers. They’re sending back Newt Gingrich’s books and telling the Beltway GOP to “Wake up!” Many others I’ve received are, um, unprintable.
Today’s rejected RNC solicitation form of the day comes [...]

Plus: The rejected RNC solicitation form of the day.

The most prominent GOP endorser of radical leftist NY-23 congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava is openly musing about running for president in 2012.
No, thanks:
Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends around the country. And we’ll decide, if there’s a [...]

Call them out.

So, the GOP leadership is waking up to Team Obama’s “Chicago-style politics.”
Here’s GOP leader John Boehner condemning the White House heavy hand.
I was in the Windy City last night for the United Republican Fund’s 75th anniversary. URF is committed to electing conservatives to office and I was impressed with the number of fresh, young conservative [...]

It’s time for the GOP to cut bait on radical leftist Dede Scozzafava.
Dump Dede and quick.
I repeat: Can the Republican establishment hear conservatives now?

Scroll down for updates…Palin endorses conservative Doug Hoffman…
From reader Barnaby, who sent back his crossed-out Republican solicitation forms with a “NO RINOS” sticky note for Newt Gingrich:

From reader K., a message to GOP Rep. Jeb Hensarling’s office:
As you’ve hopefully figured out by now, your boss really stepped in it with the endorsement of this left-winger [...]

Judge the Margaret Sanger award winner by the company she keeps:
Fundraising reports for all the candidates in the New York special election are due today, but the candidates have been required to report all donations above $1,000 in the final weeks of the race.
And, to get a sense why conservatives have been so cool to [...]

Stuck on stupid.

As if there weren’t enough reasons to oppose radical leftist Dede Scozzafava’s GOP candidacy in the NY-23 special election, add one more to the list:
She’s a liar.
The Albany Times-Union reports:
Police questioned a reporter from a conservative publication after receiving a call that he harassed a Republican candidate for Congress who refused to answer his questions [...]

So, Newt Gingrich is invoking Reagan to defend his endorsement of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 special congressional election?
Triple-gag:
“If you seek to be a perfect minority, you’ll remain a minority,” says Gingrich. “That’s not how Reagan built his revolution or how we won back the House in 1994.”
Let’s quote Reagan back to Gingrich, [...]

What happened when the unfailingly polite John McCormack of The Weekly Standard tried to nail down pro-abortion, pro-card check, tax-hiking GOP NY-23 candidate Dede Scozzafava on her radical leftist positions?
She affirmed her support of the union power grab and refused to answer whether the government health care takeover proposals should cover abortion. She refused to [...]

Busy with family.
