The White House took the unusual step of recording and editing an address from President Joe Biden on Tuesday before releasing it to the public. The president addressed the country on the occasion of the nine-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre, promising to continue fighting for gun control. The White House did not provide any access to reporters for the address, which resulted in no questions being asked after Biden finished speaking. Usually, reporters and media cameras are brought into the White House to film the president when he addresses the nation.

ATLANTA (AP) — Bolstered by support from his loyal radio talk-show audience and tea party backers, businessman Herman Cain has revved up mainstream conservatives, rising recently to third place in a poll of voters in Iowa, the leadoff caucus state. In his pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination, Cain's views on the economy and his fiery delivery have resonated with some in the GOP. His campaign has also been marked by controversy, including his comment that he would not want a Muslim bent on killing Americans in his administration. Just this week, Cain accused comedian Jon Stewart of disliking him...

Today’s National Journal’s Hotline reports that CBN’s Brody recently interviewed Kansas Senator Sam Brownback. Brownback had this to say about Governor Mitt Romney’s stance on abortion: "I think you'll have to look at where he stood, and at times, he's said different things on these issues. I think that's all going to come out during a long campaign.” Fair enough. Just about every conservative outlet – including Townhall – has wondered whether or not Mitt Romney’s conversion to the Pro-Life movement was genuine or merely political opportunism. Most conservatives (perhaps weighing their options) seem to have come to the conclusion...

Best and Worst of the Debate Best Kerry Line of the Debate: "From the looks of the people in this audience, the only ones in this room who will be affected by the president's tax cut for the rich will be myself, the president, and Charles Gibson." Kerry's inner snob made an appearance last night at the debate. How could he tell the annual income of the audience? I guess no one was wearing Prada. One must have a trained eye for spotting designer clothes. Maybe there were no five hundred dollar haircuts like the one Kerry sports. There might...

Answers in Iraq and the Fallacy of “Partners” By Captain Trampes C. Crow As we enter the homestretch of the 2004 presidential election and the opposing sides pull out all stops in order to gain an edge in voting booths across America, the rhetoric as it pertains to my current residence, Iraq, has taken center stage. The talk has ranged alternately from the supportive to the cynical to the outright ridiculous. There is one theory that pertains to the winning of the peace here in Iraq that has alarmed and disappointed me more than most. That is the key Democratic...

Hillary for President? Like all disasters, it started with something small and simple. Doctor Dean throws his hat into the presidential ring and says he didn't think the war in Iraq was a very good idea. The disenfranchised, activist liberals seized on this position, and gave Dean a popular boost that set him apart from his distressingly boring opponents. Attempting to recover, the other candidates also hopped on the anti-war bandwagon even when many had actually voted to authorize President Bush to prosecute the war. Since there is no "pro-war" Democratic candidate, this effectively makes the "anti-war" issue a...

Ken Rodriguez: In a salute to San Antonio's Eddy Lee Dacy, I present the first Year In Review of Clueless Criminals — tales of bungling burglars, bonehead bank robbers and assorted clumsy crooks. Haven't heard of Dacy? He's a small-time convict who made big-time news last December. While on probation for possession of marijuana and methamphetamines, Dacy split town without permission from his probation officer. Dacy, 46, apparently thought no one would find him and his teenage girlfriend in New York City. Did Dacy disappear into the masses? No he went on the "Ricki Lake Show." He appeared on a...

The Seven Dwarfs By WILLIAM SAFIRE WASHINGTON Way back in 1988, Republicans derided the open field of Democratic presidential candidates as "the Seven Dwarfs." Any group of politicians taking on a sitting president must come to grips with the stature gap: the chief executive dominating the news from the Oval Office, Rose Garden or the commanding heights of Camp David seems larger than life. The president as candidate can be brought down to size, as Herbert Hoover, Jimmy Carter and George Bush the elder have shown. That is why conservatives should resist the urge to characterize the many Democratic hopefuls...
