Pray. Vote. Pray.

Blogger AC Kleinheider (at Volunteer Voters) has posted some friendly advice for “Evangelicals” and though I agree with various of his assertions, I have to take issue with a couple:
1. “An evangelical is a ‘born again’ Christian. Many folks who [were] “saved” were not Republicans before their conversion. They are not natural conservatives. They [...]

The author of this story (first reported in a Pennsylvania paper?) about judicial nominations mistakenly left out the term “Bloody Red Meat” in her title. Oh well, it appears the President is not going to shy away from a Conservative strong suit in the run up to the election.
But Ann Coulter has a great [...]

Reports from Shelbyville indicate that telegenic Congressman Harold Ford, Jr.–who is vying to replace Bill Frist in the U.S. Senate, may have passed up a media appearance. According to witnesses, “[telegenic, tenacious Ford, Jr.] spent so much time with the crowd, in fact, that he had to cancel a planned radio interview.”

It appears, after all, that Kerry’s presidential aspirations did receive more than an abrasion on the forearm in the jungles of Ohio in 2004.

This law–overturned by a Florida judge on behalf of Left-leaning political types, is the type of law that would deter groups from destroying voter registration forms as is alleged of late. Obviously the law could be abused in its enforcement. But prosecutors always have discretion and I don’t suspect they would hammer/bankrupt the [...]

Two articles about the Free Market from brandchannel.com that caught my eye this a.m. Gotta love the Free Market.
In France, food marketers have eschewed trying to get certified as “Organic” (actually, they say “agriculture biologique”–as Steve Martin used to say, “Those French have a different word for everything“). Rather, grocers are simply selling [...]

This article, entitled “Major black candidates at record high” is intriguing because it glosses over the fact that this “record” year is far and away a Republican phenomenon. The article states,
From Maryland to Tennessee to Ohio, the 2006 elections already hold a place in the history books: More black candidates from both major parties [...]
