And his name is George Hutchins. Just a couple minutes poking around his campaign website for North Carolina’s Fourth District will make it clear that Hutchins is the real deal, not one of those fake conservatives.

If you answered, “Must Be Santa” give yourself a star (we also would have accepted Hunter Thompson as a correct answer). And then be sure to check out this new straight-up weird Bob Dylan music video for his Christmas song of the same name. It’s quite hard to say at first what to make of …
I spoke with Governor Carcieri’s office today about his speaking engagement at the Massachusetts Family Institute Banquet tomorrow night.

The corporations that are jacking up health care costs, cutting benefits and coverage, all while making record profits, are coming to Providence. PVD is one of the 10 lucky cities in the country where America’s Health Insurance Plans, the trade group for the nation’s insurance industry, will be stopping as a part of their national “listening tour,” in …

McCain’s top media consultant, Mark McKinnon, resigned from the GOP leader’s campaign last night, because he doesn’t want to campaign against Obama. This is just more proof of the Obamicans that aren’t getting the attention that they deserve in the media for the shift they represent of voters who Obama would bring to the Democratic ticket …
