Cole said she became concerned about Christy’s letters and e-mails 15 or 16 months ago, but it ended up in court yesterday after the man called her to say he was in Alaska. “When someone sends you proof that they’ve purchased weapons. Proof that they know where you live. And said that they are looking into purchasing a one-way plane ticket to Alaska and then calls from a cell phone with a 907...

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee have failed to qualify for the prime time Republican debate on November 10, making them the first top-tier candidates to be relegated to the undercard round, Fox Business Network announced Thursday. Meanwhile, former New York Governor George Pataki and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham failed to qualify for the undercard debate, meaning they will not appear at all when Republicans gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, next week.

Influential Republicans in early presidential primary states believe New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is poised to once again become a frontrunner for the party’s 2016 nomination, following a news report that federal scrutiny of a bridge-closing scandal has not implicated him. “If he had been found in the wrong, he would have been irreparably damaged,” said Matt Moore, chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party. “This is hugely helpful.”

The Chris Christie witch hunt is on in New Jersey, as national and New Jersey Democrats attempt to skewer the Republican governor over "Bridge-gate." Yet, no one really cares - at least not nearly as much as they care about the polar vortex that hit last week. A whopping 18% of Americans are closely following this story - and 60% say they haven't changed their opinion about Governor Christie, according to a new Pew poll. Six percent even think more favorably of him these days. It just shows you that people don't care much about a local "scandal" involving traffic...

TRENTON — If the next presidential election were held today, Gov. Chris Christie would be neck and neck with Hillary Clinton, according to new national poll.

According to his wife Andrea, money problems and allegations of an addiction to hiring prostitutes, strippers and porn stars for sex, fueled an argument that ended in a domestic assault last week near the couples’ oceanfront home in Stuart, Florida. The report states that during a fight in the car, Christy Mihos told Andrea...

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's decision not to run for president is predictable and offers the possibility of changing the dynamic of the Republican primary election. . . . I had a chance to hear Herman Cain live and in person last night at the Monday Meeting in New York City. He brought the house down -- getting three standing ovations and captivating a crowd that is usually is more hard-headed and analytical than emotional.

It’s a “twofer” my little mobsters. Ann has never been one to mince words, which is why we love her so much. The simple fact is she could very well be right. Chris Matthews on the other hand is squealing with delight. Video below the fold. Ann Coulter appeared last night with Sean Hannity mostly to talk about Donald Trump and his chances in the presidential sweepstakes. Coulter doesn’t think much of Trump, nor does she think much of the rest of the presidential field. And that includes Obama. My guess is she feels pretty much the same way most...

The attorney's name is Mohammed, first name Sohail -- Sohail Mohammed," - Powerline's Scott Hinderaker, about a judge recently nominated by New Jersey governor Chris Christie. The judge's flaw? Defending those innocents swept up in the police sweep after 9/11. It seems to me that integrating American Muslims into civil institutions and society is critical to defeating Islamist alienation. And yet many of today's conservatives seem incapable of seeing any Muslim as anything but a threat. Here's the opening sentence of the post that Hinderaker links to:

Sarah Palin’s Stalker Trying To Get Restraining Order LiftedBY Robyn Good January 10, 2011 Sarah Palin has a restraining order in place against Shawn Christy, 19.

Federal agents have learned that he intends to visit Wasilla, Alaska in the near future with the intention of trying to get the restraining order lifted. TMZ has more: Now, Cole is launching a preemptive strike — through the courts — in the hopes of blocking Shawn from “dissolving” the restraining order. Cole...

Sarah Palin obtained a protective order Monday against an 18-year-old Pennsylvania man who sent her receipts from a gun purchase, along with a letter saying “he tried to follow the Bible but had evil and wickedness in him.” Palin, 46, filed the request in Anchorage District Court against Shawn R. Christy, a man she says began stalking her by e-mail and phone since the summer of 2009. Palin’s friend, Kristan Cole, 48, filed for and received a similar protective order against Christy. The 20-day protective orders Anchorage Magistrate Colleen Ray signed Monday prohibit Christy from following, approaching, confronting, watching or...

Photo: Phillip Gentry/The University of Alabama in Huntsville John R. Christy, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, and Alabama's state climatologist, is an expert on Earth's recent temperature history, as derived from microwave sensors on polar-orbiting satellites. Though he has contributed since the early 1990s to reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the large collaboration of scientists that regularly assesses global warming for the United Nations—Christy considers the expert consensus overstated and unduly alarmist. IEEE Spectrum: Tell us please about your work on the world's temperature and its significance. John Christy: Since 1978, we've...

Whoever the Democrats nominate for president this year–Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, the initial excitement going into the fall campaign will be attached to that party’s candidate. That’s because, as everybody knows, either nomination will be historic, first woman nominated by a major party or first African-American. John McCain, straight-talking war hero though he is, will be hard-pressed to negate the Wow Factor the Dems will have going for them. And, as we have seen from the Obama phenomenon, the Wow Factor can propel a candidate to a lot of victories. So, what should McCain do? Simply, the Arizona senator,...
