Incentives.
On his radio show yesterday, Mark Levin echoed Sarah Palin’s invitation to Barack Obama to debate “the real issues.” He spiced up his request with an unexpected incentive, though. The talker promised to donate $50,000 to Obama’s campaign if Obama accepts his challenge. “I see my friend Sarah Palin has challenged Obama to a debate,
Pushback.
Quick question: Is the average American more likely to vote against Barack Obama because he was close to a Harvard law school professor who advanced critical race theory or because, under his administration, unemployment has never been below 8 percent and gas prices have risen to as much as $6 in some places?

Obama captured just 57 percent of the primary vote, while pro-life Democrat Randall Terry captured 18 percent. (Not too shabby for a fellow whose primary
As the city of Troy, NY, awaits jury selection in the first trial involving two Democrats and their alleged roles in a “massive” voter fraud scheme, new details have emerged from the investigation. Details involving two other veteran political operatives that have already pleaded guilty.

The past week was very interesting in Presidential politics. The darlings of the rank and file Republican Party, New Jersey governor Chris Christie and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, have concluded it is not time to run for President.
