What is Christine O’Donnell doing now?

Posted on January 6, 2011 by David Hall

I like Christine O’Donnell. I contributed to her campaign. She’s the kind of “common folk” that drives the sophisticated ruling class nuts. I say more power to her. I get e-mails and mailings from her periodically. She warned her supporters that … Continue reading →

Anybody but Huckabee

Posted on November 20, 2010 by David Hall

On Thursday, Special Report’s “12 in 2012” series featured Mike Huckabee as a potential candidate for president. To me, it’s a wasted opportunity. The 2012 election is a chance for people who love our Constitution to strike back. Mike Huckabee … Continue reading →

Jim DeMint for President?

Posted on November 11, 2010 by David Hall

I hadn’t heard people speak of Jim DeMint for President before it was brought up by Fox News, but I like the idea. He has solid convinctions and courage. During the 2010 midterm election cycle he was interviewed by Mark … Continue reading →

The Sunday before the midterm elections, Chris Wallace interviewed Sarah Palin on Fox News Sunday. It was a great interview. As expected, Chris tried to pin her down on presidential aspirations. I was struck by how she handled the question. She … Continue reading →
