Romney did not win big. He did not win at all. The GOP did not gain control of the Senate and may have lost ground. I was clearly wrong on what the American people wanted. At least 49% of them, in states that added up to an electoral college victory. I was worried after I […]

[Thanks to the links from Instapundit (Glenn Reynolds), Chaos Manor (Jerry Pournelle), and John C. Wright’s Journal (John C. Wright — what, you were expecting Karl Rove?). In fact, if you follow the  link below to my 2008 post, you’ll see that I first read the poem over at Jerry Pournelle’s blog, Chaos Manor.] I posted this poem […]

I’m part of the Romney campaign’s “Project Orca“. As such, I am now a certified poll watcher and will be at my local polling location for 12 hours tomorrow, logging everyone who comes in to vote (I have a printout of all registered voters for my polling location) and then transmitting that information back to […]

My sweet mother-in-law, Nora Soreson Anderson Hopkins, passed away on Monday after suffering the first of a series of strokes the prior Tuesday. Nora was nearly 90 and was more than ready to shuffle off her mortal coil (and had been for years, as she’d tell anyone who asked and some who didn’t). She was […]

I posted this as an update to my post last Saturday on the coming liberal meltdown, but I think it deserves a post of its own. First, one Wednesday Matt Bai over at the New York Times blog wrote a post on Wednesday (10/24) titled, “How Bill Clinton May Have Hurt the Obama Campaign“. Bai […]

Consider the following hypothetical scenario: It’s two weeks before election day 2012. President Obama absolutely demolished Mitt Romney in the first debate and battled him to a near-draw in the second and third. The President has been leading Romney in the Gallup poll by several points for over a week (51-45, 52-45). The Rasmussen Poll, […]

[Update at end of post] As I keep harping, I said back on June 1st that Romney was going to win big, and that’s certainly how it seems to be unfolding. Then on July 23rd, I doubled-down and said that the GOP is going to going to take control of the Senate, keep control of […]

A year-and-a-half ago, over at Ace of Spades, I wrote the following (in response to Obama releasing his long-form birth certificate): In the game of Go, there is a concept called sente. If you have sente, it means that your opponent is forced to respond directly to each of your moves rather than carry out […]
