Supporters of government reform have been buoyed recently by a slew of polls showing Gov. Scott Walker with a solid, growing lead in June’s recall election. His blowout performance in the GOP primary showed that GOP voters were more energized

NBC, soon to be joined by the rest of the media, is swooning over three new polls that all show Obama edging Mitt Romney in the critical swing states of Ohio, Virginia and Florida. The leads are very slim: 4

One chief reason Big Labor pushed for an immediate recall of Governor Scott Walker was a fear that, by the time of the next regular election in 2014, voters would have had time to see the benefits of Walker’s budget

The Washington Post today is trumpeting its new poll of adults, which found Obama and Romney tied on their ability to handle the economy. The Post is also reporting that, among its screen of registered voters, Obama edges Romney by

Barack Obama’s pavlovian adherence to a progressive worldview has sparked an unexpected challenge to his reelection hopes: his administration’s “war” on the Catholic Church. Earlier this year, the Obama Administration, implementing ObamaCare, finalized regulations that would require all employers, including

Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. She has gone from one of the Democrats’ top recruits of 2012 to something of a national punch line. A Harvard Law Professor who had

As the campaign season gets into full swing, voters can expect a deluge of polls. Every major media outfit and several independent polling organizations will provide almost real-time information on every twist and turn in the political landscape. The polls

The Journal Sentinel is obviously not part of the “vast right-wing conspiracy.” It is a generally respected paper with the standard liberal bias of any newspaper. It has had many disagreements with Scott Walker, but this weekend it throws its

Two metal-recycling companies are threatening to sue the city of Milwaukee over its controversial awarding of a contract without taking competitive bids. Two metal recycling firms have accused the City of Milwaukee of illegally shutting them out of bidding for

Roll Call reported last night that the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee, the national party arm to support candidates running for Congress, is shifting resources into Gov. Scott Walker’s recall election: The DCCC confirmed to Roll Call today that the committee

These people really are totalitarian thugs. In the wake of the high-profile announcement that Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is renouncing his US citizenship in advance of the company’s potentially record-breaking IPO, leftist Senators Chuck Shumer and Bob Casey have announced

Today, the respected Marquette University Law School released its latest survey on the Wisconsin recall. In just a few shorts weeks, Gov. Scott Walker has expanded his lead from a virtual tie to a solid six point lead. A new Marquette

Big Labor has forced the good people of Wisconsin to have a “do-over” of their 2010 Gubernatorial contest. Not happy with the results or the reforms which Gov. Walker campaigned on and implemented, unions spent millions from it’s members paychecks

One month ago, Romney and Obama were essentially tied in the critical swing state of North Carolina. Today, Rasmussen reports, Romney has moved into a solid 8 point lead.  Mitt Romney has moved out to an eight-point lead over President

Just two weeks ago, the battle for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in Nebraska was between state Attorney General Jim Bruning and state Treasurer Don Stenburg. Neither inspired the growing base of conservative voters. They were, to

Bad economic data aside, 2012 may just shape up to be the best year ever for conservatives. Since last week, I have reported that the Wisconsin Recall election is moving firmly in Scott Walker’s direction. Big Labor’s preferred candidate, Kathleen

Well, he at least gets extra credit for being honest. With hopes of an economic recovery fading, Obama is facing a very real threat to his reelection hopes. He had obviously assumed that economic data would be improving by now

It’s only Tuesday, but it has already been a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week for the Obama campaign. Saddled with increasingly bad economic data, the campaign has been doggedly trying to change the subject to anything other than jobs

I expect the media to be in a surly mood tonight. After months of manufactured “GOP War on Women” silliness, a new CBS/NYT poll (!) finds Romney leading Obama 46-44% among woman voters. Mind you, that isn’t GOP women or

This morning, the Obama campaign released a two-minute ad attacking Romney over the fate of GST Steel, a steel mill controlled by Bain Capital. The ad featured interviews with steelworkers who lost their jobs when the company went bankrupt. The

I swear, most days I think I inhabit some weird no-man’s-land between parallel universes.  In one, the economy is sputtering and people are anxious about their long-term prospects. Government is borrowing money we can’t pay back to prop up a

Rasmussen has released the first post-primary poll of the recall election in Wisconsin, and it looks like Scott Walker, not Democrat Tom Barrett, got the coveted post-primary bounce: Embattled Republican Governor Scott Walker holds a five-point lead over his newly

The GOP’s massive turnout in Tuesday’s primary election in Wisconsin put to rest Big Labor’s claim that voters overwhelmingly reject Walker’s budget reforms and want him recalled from office. The strong turnout, in an effectively uncontested primary, showed that a

Dane County is the political base of Wisconsin’s public sector unions. It is home to both the state capital, with its thousands of unionized workers, and the University of Wisconsin, with its starry-eyed college students and aging hippie professors. It

A good rule of thumb in politics is that voters go where the action is. Contested primaries will generate far more interest than those where there is no race. This is especially true in states like Wisconsin, which have “open”

Last year, when Gov. Scott Walker won passage of his budget reform bill, WI’s public sector unions vowed to take the issue to the voters and oust Walker in a recall election. In the interim, the unions tried, and failed,
