Sarah Palin's book could benefit from the Oprah Winfrey "bump." Oprah has agreed to sit down with the failed vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor next month when Palin's book hits the shelves. According to Harpo, the interview will be Palin's first about her new book, "Going Rogue: An American Life," and it will be the first time Palin and Winfrey will meet. During the election, Oprah caused controversy when she and her staff reportedly deliberated over whether to let Palin on the show. Rumors circulated that Oprah refused to let her on, culminating in a Drudge Report item saying that Oprah's staff was sharply divided on the merits ...
RNC Beats DNC in September Money Race

We wrote in Saturday’s paper that the GOP appears to be building fund-raising momentum heading into the 2010 elections. Here’s another data point: the Democratic National Committee said it raised about $8 million in September. That’s less than the Republican National Committee, which raised $8.8 million in the same time period, and the second month running the RNC has pulled ahead. Overall, the Democrats are still ahead, with $139.4 million raised to date compared to $125 million for the GOP. That edge is attributable in part to the Democratic fund-raising arms for House and Senate candidates, both of which out-raised their Republican counterparts by nearly two-to-one ...

ommunications chief offers shocking confession to foreign government By Aaron Klein TEL AVIV – President Obama's presidential campaign focused on "making" the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was "controlled," White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference. "Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control," said Dunn. "One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out ...

It's okay to admit it: you thought you were voting for a more benevolent and wiser version of Tiger Woods when all you got was a smoother version of Chicago-style, brass knuckle politics. It isn't so much that you voted for the wrong guy; you were lied to by the media. But you should have known better. Chicago has a long and storied run of thoroughly corrupt political bosses giving envy to any third-world dictator. Barack Obama also ran around with loony-tune communists and wild-eyed radicals including his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who makes the loosest of cannons seem laser-guided. Then he tells us absolutely nothing about himself other than what is in his -- not one but two -- ...

Ever since John McCain catapulted Sarah McCain onto the national stage in the summer of 2008, I've watched my lefty friends here in San Francisco threaten to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge if the former Alaska Governor ever became president. Their standard refrain: "She's just too extreme, she's just too dumb, she's just too snarky - she's just too..too!" Suffice to say that this crowd does not get `Sarah-Appeal' and never will. So leave it to a comedian to solve a riddle that still flummoxes liberals. During his appearance on Bill O'Reilly's Fox television show Wednesday night, Saturday Night Live alum (and now radio talk show host,) Dennis ...

NEW YORK – You know the title, now see the cover of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue." The former Alaska governor's memoir, a top-seller online weeks before publication, will feature an outdoor shot of Palin, wearing an American flag pin on her red fleece top, eyes turned slightly from the camera as she smiles confidently into the horizon, a patchwork of Alaska blue sky and clouds behind her. The image was released Thursday by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins. The book, originally planned for next spring, is coming out Nov. 17 with an announced first printing of 1.5 million copies. Palin and collaborator Lynn Vincent finished "Going Rogue" just two months ...

HONG KONG — Sarah Palin, in what was billed as her first speech overseas, spoke on Wednesday to Asian bankers, investors and fund managers. A number of people who heard the speech in a packed hotel ballroom, which was closed to the media, said Mrs. Palin spoke from notes for 90 minutes and that she was articulate, well-prepared and even compelling. “The speech was wide-ranging, very balanced, and she beat all expectations,” said Doug A. Coulter, head of private equity in the Asia-Pacific region for LGT Capital Partners. “She didn’t sound at all like a far-right-wing conservative. She seemed to be positioning herself as a libertarian or a small-c ...

Asks to be Reinstated to Ballot; Judges Refuse to Hear Case September 15th, 2009- Steve Kosin, a Libertarian candidate for Sheriff in Suffolk County, New York has filed suit against the Board of Elections, asking the courts to reinstate his name to the November ballot.

From the Free and Equal Elections Foundation: September 9th, 2009- The Board of Elections in Suffolk County New York has ruled that the Libertarian Party candidates for three county offices will not be on the ballot come November. This action by the Board of Elections means that voters will only see one candidate on the ballot in the races for District Attorney, Sheriff, and Treasurer. The local Democrat and Republican parties have cross-endorsed one candidate for each race. "It is absolutely appalling that the voters in Suffolk County will have no choice on their ballot for these races," said Free & Equal Founder Christina Tobin. "The Democrat and Republican ...

ACORN: Another Reason Americans Distrust The Media Written by R. Cort Kirkwood Thursday, 17 September 2009 14:47 If you want to know what’s wrong with the mainstream and leftist American media, consider two examples that the media provided in covering, or not covering, the growing scandal over ACORN, the community group now famous for the prostitution videos posted at BigGovernment.com. The story is covered in full at The New American. But to reprise it briefly, two young conservatives, James O’Keefe and Hanna Giles, traveled to ACORN offices across the country posing as a pimp and his prostitute. In Balitmore, Md., Brooklyn, N.Y., and Washington, D.C., they filmed ACORN ...

"I believe firmly, firmly in the integrity of the election and the integrity of the Afghan people and the integrity of the government in ...

Supreme Court Considers Freedom of Speech Written by Alex Newman Thursday, 10 September 2009 00:00 The United States Supreme Court reconvened on September 9 in a rare special session to hear more arguments regarding restrictions on the right to freedom of speech imposed by the so-called Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. A decision to overturn all or even some of the rules could have far reaching implications, and analysts say it might just happen. The Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) case was originally brought before the high court in March by a non-profit organization trying to air a film it had produced called "Hillary: The Movie."

Democrat Rob Miller's campaign war chest just got a whole lot heavier. Miller is the Marine Corps veteran challenging Rep. Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican who took the opportunity afforded by a joint session of Congress on Wednesday to yell "Lie. You lie," at President Barack Obama. Progressive Democrats took that as a cue to donate to his opponent, and accounts earmarked for Miller on the progressive Website Actblue jumped from a few thousand dollars to $105,943 between the speech and 9:15 a.m. on Thursday. At least nine different Miller-linked funds appear to have been created since the speech, including one called "Defeating the man who yelled ...

We long time Ron Paul supporters got used to the typical underhanded attacks “our” candidate received during his Presidential bid. They became predictable and passé. Now that Rand Paul has proven he is a viable candidate in the 2010 Senatorial race in Kentucky similar attacks have begun. With Ron Paul many of the attacks were leveled by the media itself. We even published a rather popular satire piece during the campaign called “The Official Media Guide To Attacking Ron Paul“. Thus far with Rand Paul, most of the attacks are coming from the Left and the neo-conservative establishment friends of his Republican primary opponent Trey Grayson. The attacks themselves ...

Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- James Hoffa, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said his union may not support Senator Arlen Specter in his re-election bid because the Pennsylvania Democrat has wavered on legislation making it easier for workers to organize. “We’re looking at both candidates right now” and “it’s time for him to stand up,” Hoffa said in an interview today, referring to Specter and his Democratic primary fight with Representative Joe Sestak. Hoffa said Specter, who switched from Republican to Democrat in April, needs to do more to help pass the so-called card-check legislation that is one of organized labor’s top priorities. ...

Ex-beauty queen expresses “love” for Palin, “interest in politics“ at GOP event. Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean may not have made it all the way to the Miss Universe pageant this weekend, although in a geographical sense, she did end up making it pretty close. Speaking at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida rather than at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, the 21-year-old told a GOP crowd that losing the Miss USA pageant and later her state crown was a part of God’s plan. “I don't need to be Miss USA. I'm not going to little ribbon cuttings and things that aren't meaningful to me,” she said. Prejean, who was the first ...

(Newser Summary) – Things are looking brighter for Republicans in the Senate, writes Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com. In his monthly ranking of which seats are most likely to switch parties in 2010, Republicans have made a big move.

A well known and politically connected La Raza activist who served as board chairman of a California public school district has been arrested and charged with four felony counts of voter fraud. The renowned Latino rights activist (Nativo Lopez), in trouble for voter fraud in the past, cast an illegal ballot in the 2008 presidential primary and used a false address to register in another county, according to the California Secretary of State Election Fraud Investigation Unit. Lopez registered to vote using a leased commercial office in Los Angeles although he lived with his family in another county (Orange County). Under state law registering where you are not entitled to vote is a felony ...

Abdullah Vows 'Responsible' Challenge if Karzai Steals Election While international observers cheered the Afghan election as a great “victory,” the domestic election observer group Officials with the Free and Fair Elections Foundation of Afghanistan, which dispatched an enormous 7,000 observers across the nation, wasn’t nearly so upbeat. In keeping with the various media reports we’ve heard, the group cautioned that the election saw widespread fraud, including biased election workers and ballot stuffing. And that’s only in the places where security concerns didn’t force the polls to close entirely. This was largely in keeping with anecdotal evidence ...

According to his website, a GOP candidate running for the U.S. Senate from Bowling Green, raised more than $686,000 in one day - but he didn't meet his goal. Eye surgeon Rand Paul tried to raise one-million-dollars yesterday, all on the internet. He borrowed the idea from his father, Texas Republican Ron Paul, who banked six-million-dollars in a single day, for his Presidential campaign last year. Rand expects to face two other Republicans, Secretary of State Trey Grayson, and western Kentucky businessman Bill Johnson in next year's primary election.

(08-17) 09:15 PDT La Marque, Texas (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison announced her run for Texas governor Monday with a sharp blast at Gov. Rick Perry, saying he has overstayed his welcome with an administration marked by arrogance and "tragic" mistakes. Hutchison, using her old high school as a backdrop, also proposed limiting governors to two, four-year terms. She called Perry a "dedicated public servant," but otherwise laid into him. Perry, in office since 2000, is the longest serving governor in Texas history. "Now he's trying to stay too long — 14 years," Hutchison said. "After ten Perry years, where are we?" Perry took over the ...
