With 96 percent of districts reporting in the special election for the 89th State Assembly seat along Westchester County eastern corridor, Republican Bob Castelli has received a landslide 56-44% landslide victory against Democrat Peter Harckham.

"It's a shot across the bow to people like Sheldon Silver and entrenched bosses," said Castelli in his victory speech. Joining Castelli as a big winner tonight is Westchester County Republican Chairman Doug Colety, whose winning streak in this former Democratic bastion...

Well folks, just when you thought that there might be some hope that the anti-gun faithful members of the Maryland State Senate had learned their lesson about proposing nonsense bills like bans on so-called assault weapons, they prove otherwise. Senator Mike Lennett (D), District 19, Montgomery County, has introduced SB516, the Maryland Assault Weapons Ban of 2010. His co-sponsors are a veritable Who's Who of the anti-gun wing of the Senate. Now's the time to head this thing off before the hearing is even scheduled and let the members of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee know that Maryland citizens will...

Breazeale To McIntyre: Give Back Dirty Money On Monday, Will Breazeale, candidate for United States Congress in North Carolina's 7th Congressional District, urged incumbent Congressman Mike McIntyre to return more than $13,000 in monies received from tainted donors. "You are the friends you keep and the money you receive," commented the three-time Iraq War veteran of his opponent. "It is a sad day when a current U.S. Congressman accepts legalized bribes from so many unsavory characters and remains silent. On behalf of the people of District 7, I demand Representative McIntyre return this $13,375 of questionable money to the donors."...

The other day I received an email from a friend who had heard some false and malicious attacks against the Tea Party Express.  He was concerned and wrote me to ask about it because I've been a part of the Tea Party Express since its inception last year.When I was talking to the rest of our team about this email I found out that most everyone else had been approached by someone asking them similar questions about a whole range of rumors, accusations, allegations, smears and mischaracterizations of what we at the Tea Party Express are supposedly about.  Seems our friends in the liberal blogs and media...

Jan. 29, 2010 - 11:43pm Will Breazeale, candidate for United States Congress in North Carolina’s 7th Congressional District, took the President to task for what he deemed an “instigating” State of the Union speech Wednesday night. “The speech was filled with a bulk of lies, half truths, and vague assertions,” observed Breazeale. “What is worse is that he repeatedly attempted to try to play class warfare, pitting ordinary Americans against each other.” The three-time Iraq War veteran took issue with numerous times where he felt President Obama was more interested in “getting even” than improving the country. In particular, Breazeale...

A national television audience will watch Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell deliver the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech this evening. Asked about his message Tuesday, McDonnell told reporters he'll "put a happy, positive, pro-business face on the Republican party." The governor expects to give a 10-minute address from the House of Delegates chamber in the State Capitol. He said it will be "the shortest speech I've given in a long time," a self-deprecating crack about his penchant to expound at length on numerous topics. But the governor's comments likely won't be all positive. McDonnell said...

Abortion is a sensitive topic no matter which side of the argument you support. And when I was asked to review the first episode of a web show called “Bump+,” I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to do it. When it comes to abortion, I am in the pro-life camp. I wasn’t always – but having two children of my own changed my mind. And I’m thankful I was never in a position to have to even think about it. For me, exceptions to this rule are cases like the one in Brazil last year, where a 9-year-old girl who...

Houston oilman Robert Adam Mosbacher, perhaps the Republican Party's greatest-ever fundraiser and a member of the cabinet of longtime friend President George H.W. Bush, died Sunday of pancreatic cancer. He was 82. Mosbacher, founder of the company that bore his name, served as U.S. Secretary of Commerce from 1989 to 1992, where he was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the North American Free Trade Agreement. Although the formal position placed him toward the bottom of the cabinet hierarchy, no one doubted Mosbacher's influence with and access to the president, whom he had known since the early 1960s. He raised...

One year ago Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States. He took office and began implementing his agenda of “change.” This agenda could be summarized as: “Government taking control.” This year we have a chance to fix what is broken, stop massive government spending, and put an end to a Washington that is only interested in helping Washington. This year is not about Illinois or Massachusetts. It is not about Florida or California. This year is about taking our liberty back from a government that is taking it away through rapid growth. It is about taking our...
