    Kent Sorenson pleads guilty to accepting payments to switch support

    That's pretty much exactly how they did it; it was illegal because the Paul campaign explicitly negotiated with Sorenson to get his endorsement as a quid-pro-quo for the payoff, instead of it being an implicit understanding (I happen to give you $25,000, subsequently, by complete coincidence and...

    In CA, 287,590 vote for criminal who had dropped out of race

    Well, you were encouraging people in another thread to vote for Tim Donnelly, also a criminal running in California (albeit not one who had dropped out of the race), so I wouldn't be throwing stones. Edit: Neg repping without responding is extremely mature, but here's your evidence; he's...

    The case for Randy Brogdon

    Tom Cotton is, after Peter King, the worst Republican member of Congress. I'm cheering for Pryor, as should anyone even remotely liberty-minded. It takes quite a bit for me to be hoping that the Democrat wins, especially for a Senate seat.

    Reuters: Republican Chris McDaniel Leads Incumbent for U.S. Senate in Mississippi

    Counties that report results very late, heavily for one candidate (presumably Cochran), especially if it's enough to put him over the top, and/or with suspiciously-high turnout (a competitive primary election like this should see maybe 40-45% turnout at most), are suspicious, as are places that...

    How do we combat the "War on Women" meme?

    I'm sure the DNC has ads already ready to go along these lines: Ads like that are to be expected, and they will have a devastating effect on Rand's standing with quite a few men as well as women. If Rand's campaign is going to be successful, we need create a counternarrative that will keep...

    Rand Paul joins Tavis Smiley on PBS to talk criminal justice reform - Wednesday 5/21

    Because if it comes out that the son actually was involved in terrorist activity, Rand would look foolish and naive and his position on drones would be considered discredited. Others should make that argument, not Rand. In the "gotcha" world of politics, whenever possible a candidate for...

    Thom Tillis Wins

    OK Karl Rove.

    AIPAC opposes Rand Paul's bill to cut aid to Palestinians

    The P.A./PLO actually already does officially recognize Israel; it was one of the conditions for the creation of the P.A. in the Oslo Agreement. This is why Israeli rhetoric immediately shifted from saying they refused to make a deal until the PLO recognized Israel to saying they refused to...
