I caught just the last part of last night’s likely last debate between Hillary Rodham and B.O.
I learned that B.O. won’t promise to keep his promise and accept public financing of his general election campaign against John McCain if he wins the Democrat nomination.
And I learned that Hillary is too busy on the […]

However, not only doesn’t the board president want to open the process to anyone but the candidate he’s already settled on, he doesn’t think parents and taxpayers should […]

November is a long way away. And many conservatives, no matter what happens, will not support or otherwise vote for John McCain regardless of the opponent or the potential consequences. That being said, the pieces necessary for some GOP unity around his campaign are beginning to fall into place.

What part of “no” don’t they understand?
Nevadans do not want their taxes raised. Period. They said so, emphatically, in 1994 and 1996 when they passed the Gibbons Tax Restraint initiative requiring a 2/3 super-majority vote of the Legislature to raise taxes.
