There are some things going on in the blogosphere right now (check out Wonkette, HotAir, and Malkin’s for more) that I don’t want to be a part of, even as a blogger standing on the sidelines watching it all play out. So I am stepping away from blogging for the next couple of days until [...]
Here are the details of the upcoming NC conservative blogger conference I posted about a several weeks ago.

Real Clear Politics has the latest. Bookmark that page (and this one, too) and check them frequently between now and November. RCP’s got the wrong link up for the CT Senate race between Lieberman and Lamont, but the latest poll is showing the Senator ahead of Lamont by 10 points. In other election-related news, the [...]
