How Do You Stop an Elephant Charging?
Sat, 09/04/2010 - 4:56pm | The RLC
Eight weeks out and you don't have to be a political professional to feel what's in the air: The Republicans have a big win coming.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The college vote is up for grabs this year — to an extent that would have seemed unlikely two years ago, when a generation of young people seemed to swoon over Barack Obama.
Though many students are liberals on social issues, the economic reality of a weak job market has taken a toll on their loyalties: far fewer 18-to 29-year-olds now identify themselves as Democrats compared with 2008.

Wed, 09/01/2010 - 12:55pm | The RLC
In an ominous sign for Democrats, a new poll has found that people trust the GOP more on the economy and jobs, the two issues most likely to decide the fall elections.
In a USA Today/Gallup poll released Wednesday, 49 percent of respondents said Republicans would do a better job handling the economy than Democrats; only 38 percent said Democrats would be better.

Wed, 09/01/2010 - 9:18am | The RLC
Washington's chattering class zeroed in Tuesday on a potential but still nonexistent leadership battle between House Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor after members of the press received their advance copies of the latter's new book, "Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders." While the book may indeed elevate Cantor, who co-authored the book with Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and California Rep.
