The Minnesota Recount was a Rip-Off
Democrats have been learning lots of tricks to gain office, many of them questionable. Take for example, the Minnesota recount. We have enough irregularities to choke a horse, and surprise, surprise ... they all seem to favor the DFL candidate. Imagine that! Imagine how they "found" 100 more votes in one precinct. Imagine how they "found" more votes than signed in voters in another. Very strange stuff.
Even the Wall Street Journal has weighed in on this one: The Minnesota Recount is Unconstitutional. I concur

Axis of the Outrageous
If we don't accomplish anything else in the next election cycle, we need to put our energy into defeating Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. These two public servants are so determined to put their own agendas into law that they will do anything to ensure their success. Witness Nancy Pelosi's recent rule changes meant to hamper the efforts of representatives who don't agree with legislation to modify or amend it. Further witness Harry Reid's calling the Senate into session to grab land and prevent energy exploration on millions of acres. Amanda Carpenter at Townhall wrote about Harry Reid's Land Grab and followed up with an interesting article on who voted for the bill.
Harry Reid knows that the public strongly supports domestic energy exploration and didn't have the guts to enact the ban which expired last fall. So he takes this way to ban exploration. Not to mention adding huge costs to a budget that is already so far in the hole one wonders if we will ever get out of it.

Outstanding Response to the National Volunteer Team
The National Volunteer Team was announced on January 1 and ten days later we were just 6 members short of 2,000 volunteers. Read Mike Huckabee's announcement: National Volunteer Team Launches Today. I encourage you to join us and help us make a difference in the next election.

HuckPac Launches National Volunteer Team
Mike Huckabee, the former Governor of Arkansas and 2008 second place finisher for the Republican presidential nomination has been busy since ending his presidential run following the Texas primary in April. In addition to having a top rated show on the Fox News Network and publishing a new book, he set up a PAC (political action committee) to help support conservative candidates in the 2008 election. HuckPac was instrumental in supporting conservative candidates and in keeping the focus on critical issues.
Now HuckPAC is looking forward to the elections of 2010. One thing we learned from the 2008 election is the necessity of involving volunteers at the grass roots level. There will be some exciting things in store for the months ahead. One of our primary goals is to encourage people to be a part of a national effort to support candidates at the local, state and national level. To that end, we are building our team.

RNC Debate
I just finished watching the debate between the candidates for the RNC Chairmanship. Here are my initial reactions (listed in the order they were seated and spoke):
Michael Steele - very smooth. Has a good stage persona, honed by his television appearances. But I didn't feel he was passionate about anything except getting the job, although he did well in his closing statement. He is Hannity's choice, which probably means he is also Romney's choice.
Katon Dawson - spoke well and has a solid record. He also has some negatives which will probably keep him from the chair.
Ken Blackwell - has been gathering a lot of support and may be unstoppable. He seemed to lack passion for the task ahead (IMO) and (again, IMO) spent too much time talking about me, me, me.
Saul Anuzis - just didn't come across well. Part of that was early problems with his microphone, but he just doesn't seem to have the wide range of experience necessary to take on the national chair.
Chip Saltsman - seemed like the youngster in the crowd ... oh, wait, he is. He didn't talk a lot about mechanics, but did demonstrate a passion for the battle that will be necessary to field candidates and rebrand the GOP.
Mike Duncan - in a defensive battle to keep his job in light of huge losses in the states and nationally. He didn't help himself, IMO.
