| Our colleagues take a close look today at Republicans' path to 51 in the Senate now that the Missouri Senate race is tilting in Democrats' favor. Reid Wilson explains: Republicans believe Akin's comments all but disqualify him from office, and several polls taken during the last month show McCaskill surging ahead. But there are broader ramifications: Republicans need to win a net of four seats to take control of the Senate, and they counted Missouri as one of the states they would certainly win.

But with him they can get 52. And they ought to shoot for 68 or 70 - to neutralize the rinos that like to help the libtards destroy this Republic.

Missouri Republicans are turning their backs on this guy? What's the old saw the establishment-types like to toss around in this salon...would you prefer McCaskill to Akin? Show us, Missouri Republicans and conservatives.

Well Missouri will Sen. Reid still be Majority Leader in January. Sen. Mcaskill will surely help put the final nail in the Constitution when she votes for another Obama hard leftist appointment on the supreme court.

Mr. Catalini needs to learn to count, or read the tea leaves better. Connecticut, Maine, Florida, and Ohio are not on the menu.
Newt and a few others have begun to smell the coffee. GOP leaders must put down the two-headed axe right away, if not sooner.

Santorum said he backed Akin after DeMint did and Gingrich is speaking on Akin's behalf as well. Akin should have stepped aside the day his comment was rendered; at this point, it is way too late and Mo. should see that it is "anybody but McCaskill" of the "I will sell the daxx plane".

If Republicans get 50 or 51 Senate seats at least one will change parties. That's how Republicans do it.

I just don’t wanna. I don’t wanna write about whether to treat homosexual relationships as “marriage,” and I don’t wanna see lawmakers do anything about it. Just a quarter century ago, just about nobody had even dreamed of such a thing as “gay marriage.” Why don’t we leave the law alone as it is, leave people free to do what they want to do behind closed doors as long as no innocents get hurt (and as long as they don’t “scare the horses”) — and have everybody, including heterosexuals, stop talking in public about what they do

Two weeks after the Boston marathon bombings killed three people and injured hundreds more, one suspect is dead and another is in custody and charged with a capital crime. The basic outlines of the story of the Tsarnaev brothers seem clear. Yet recent news reports and comments from members of Congress underscore that critical questions about their alleged crimes remain unanswered, complicating the emerging debate over what lessons America should draw from the horror on Boylston Street. Here are the most pressing:Did They Really Act On Their Own?

"There are three types of chemical weapons: harassing chemical agents, incapacitating agents, and lethal agents. When the demonstrations started, the regime used harassing agents, like any country in the world using tear gas to disperse demonstrations. As for incapacitating and lethal chemical agents - the regime used incapacitating agents at first, but when the world remained silent about this, and the regime thought

Man, people just hate a party that they weren’t invited to! You can chalk Alaska Gubernatorial Resignee and Presidential Ticket Neck Anchor Sarah Palin up in the “I hate #nerdprom!” column, if her tweets are any indication. Palin bashed this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner as “pathetic,” and its attendees as “assclowns,” which means, by extension, that husband Todd Palin and daughter Bristol Palin must also be colonic comedians of a sort, since both have attended the dinner in the past. Palin herself skipped the 2011 dinner, but hit the pre-and-post parties, which would make her,

The 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur had just pulled his new Mercedes to the curb on Brighton Avenue to answer a text when an old sedan swerved behind him, slamming on the brakes. A man in dark clothes got out and approached the passenger window. It was nearly 11 p.m. last Thursday. The man rapped on the glass, speaking quickly. Danny, unable to hear him, lowered the window -- and the man reached an arm through, unlocked the door, and climbed in, brandishing a silver handgun. “Don’t be stupid,” he told Danny. He asked if he had followed the news

If you live in Arkansas, you can now carry a concealed gun into a bar, or a liquor store—or a church. College staffers can bring guns on campus. Folks with a permit from other states can pack heat in Arkansas without filing any paperwork. These are among the half-dozen legal changes in the state that passed only four months since the Newtown massacre, and Arkansas has plenty of company. While the Senate failed to pull the trigger on expanded background checks last week, 15 states have already passed 25 gun rights measures this year. “To me this isn’t really about guns.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — First Congressional District candidate Mark Sanford, who previously has said he was in his ex-wife’s home Feb. 3 because he didn’t want his youngest son to watch the Super Bowl alone, said Tuesday for the first time that a second son was at the home, too. The February event sparked a family court complaint, filed by Sanford’s ex-wife, Jenny Sanford, who alleges that her ex-husband has repeatedly entered her property without permission. That violates the couple’s divorce settlement, she asserts in court documents. Mark Sanford defends his decision to enter the home

Today, in NASA Is the Best: The space agency this week took a handful of cheap but powerful smartphones, slapped them to a gigantic rocket and blasted them into low-earth orbit to see how they´d fare. The project, called PhoneSat, is one of those wacky experiments that seems at first to have nothing to do with science. But it´s not a stunt. The phones — ordinary Nexus Ones, the kind made by HTC and once sold by Google — are being tested as a kind of prototype satellite, and they provide a glimpse of a possible future where ordinary commercial technology that we take for granted winds up

Secretary of State John Kerry was wildly successful in Turkey this week — if his aim was to ratchet up Ankara’s hostility toward Israel. Alas, his stated goal was to smooth ties between the two nations. Kerry’s trouble began when he responded to a question about a rapprochement between Turkey and Israel. In his answer, he referred this way to the infamous 2010 Gaza flotilla in which several Turks were killed while trying to break an Israeli blockade that even the United Nations says is legal under international law: “I particularly say to the families of people

The Democratic National Committee on Monday used last week’s bombings at the Boston Marathon to build the party’s list of email addresses. A page on the DNC’s website asks visitors to sign a petition thanking Boston’s first responders for “all you did last week—and for all you do every day.” The page asks for visitors’ names, email addresses, and zip codes. Those who fill out the form immediately receive an email from DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The ploy immediately drew criticism from Republicans. Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, called the effort “disgraceful”

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is pushing ahead with his investigation of the terrorist assault, and has asked for legal protections for lower-level employees who might be called to testify. The State Department pushed back on Monday and said the independent probe into the attack "should be enough" for lawmakers. “We think that we´ve done an independent investigation, that it´s been transparent, thorough, credible, and detailed, and that we´ve shared those

Over five years after Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses and demolished the notion that white voters wouldn’t support a black presidential candidate, progress for other African-American politicians remains elusive. Even as the country elected and re-elected Obama, making it seem increasingly unremarkable to have a black family in the White House, African-Americans are scarce and bordering on extinct in the U.S. Senate and governorships. The president is indeed exceptional - but in the wrong sense of the phrase as it applies to other black politicians. Consider what has taken place, or not taken place,

The first in three exclusive reports alleging that that claim is false aired on tonight’s Special Report.

Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to "transactional sex" for survival. The resolution, from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and a dozen other Democrats, says the results of climate change include drought and reduced agricultural output. It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women. "[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health,"

In the lore of the ancient Romans, Horatius was a soldier who single-handedly fought off an invading army. The Etruscans had attacked in order to impose a despot on Rome and, by holding them back while his comrades destroyed the bridge that was the only practical route to the city, this single warrior saved the free republic. Obamacare is certainly the bridge via which the forces of despotism plan to “fundamentally transform” the United States, and a decorated Iraq veteran named Matt Sissel may be the Horatius who prevents them from crossing.
