"If we want to take this party back, and I think we can someday, let’s get to work." – Barry Goldwater
Yes, I would say the fact that the GOP primary has in effect ended would tend to dampen the chatter a bit.

Spikes in October 2007 (first Jindal, then the Great Ronulan Purge) and January 2008 (primaries, and whatnot) aside, we're chugging along.

I like the sound of that-guess they all went back to their regularly scheduled Stormfront meetings. But I have noticed a return in the Old Guard RS bloggers now that the primary has ended. I expect all the Huckabots to go away shortly as well...and we shall have...peace :-)

It appears that 1,400,000 pages are loaded monthly as about the median. So this site gets about 70k per day on average, does anyone know where that ranks Redstate?

you guys are being mean to people.

With the Texas primary coming up, was anyone offended by Hillary's statement last night that we have to give up our "cowboy diplomacy". Seems a poor choice of words, especially since she wants to do well in Texas.

What the hell was the point of that?

Does anyone know anything about the Steve Kirby. There is a rumor floating about that he might challenge Tim Johnson.

I don't think he'll be getting any "Buddha calls" at home!
And I bet Nykki will drop him, too.
"Wait, what is the meaning of this?" "How is this possible?"
It sounds even better with an Indian accent.

that the Conservative media can't get enough of Michelle Obama's statement. I actually take a contrarian view of this. I think everyone needs to be careful just how much they milk this because we may all be making much more out of a gaffe than is there. If there is too much criticism of her statement, I think our side looks desperate and it looks as though we have nothing to legitimately criticize Obama for.
Instead, now is the time to focus on Obama's vote against warrantless wiretapping and also his top foreign policy advisor, Brzezinski's (no way I am spelling his first name, last name is hard enough) trip to meet with Bashar Assad. Those are much more legitimate criticisms, whereas focusing on her gaffe makes our side look desperate. Here is how I wrote about it.

Open thread! Yay!
Why did we not recognize months ago that Hillary's high negative poll numbers (as in, "I'll never vote for that -----") should also have meant that even Democrats would have a hard time voting for her. Looks like even an empty suit is beating her like a drum. I just hope we have a chance to see if OUR empty suit can do the same.
Just kidding about the McCain slam. We have a whole closet full of empty suits, and we have to at least pretend to like the one we're wearing.

Ok, so since this is an Open Thread, I thought I would ask a quick totally unrelated question here. Gamecock's diary following the shootings at NIU got me thinking about gun control issues, not in the context of a college campus but in general.
I don't know a huge amount about this issue, in large part because it is not a high priority for me. I hear the position often stated by Democrats, that someone should be able to have a gun for protection or whatever, but that does not mean we cannot have some common-sense regulation, like making sure you are not crazy (or have previously been convicted of a felony), banning assault weapons, registering guns, etc. This all seems to get a response of "you can take it from our cold dead hands." Now I don't want to take anything from anyone's cold dead hands, but I don't see how this is all such a big deal. (Furthermore, if it is a big deal, I am confused as to why you hear pro-gun people give the whole "screw you don't take my guns" speech instead of "i am in favor of reasonable gun control, but this isn't reasonable" which would seem more constructive and persuasive?)
So I guess my question is, where do y'all find fault with the above reasoning?
To the gun grabbers, common sense is a total gun ban.
However the second amendment begs to differ.

I hear the position from Democrats that "guns are fer huntin'." To be fair, I usually hear that from Republicans too.

Hat tip: Fox News:
NEW YORK — Google News quietly reinstated Tuesday the articles of a news service that routinely exposes U.N. corruption, a day after FOXNews.com ran a story about the Internet giant's decision to remove Inner City Press from its search engine.
Inner City Press returned to the Google News search late in the day, but much sooner than the "couple weeks" a Google representative had promised. The week of stories the news service ran since Google News dropped it on Feb. 13 were not restored.
The news outlet, run by journalist Matthew Lee, has been critical of the U.N. and internal corruption within the organization. Lee was informed that Google News would drop his organization in a Feb. 8 e-mail.
I guess even Google isn't immune to public pressure and negative media attention.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it takes the bandwidth of ten thousand.
It's also a reminder that the internet search engines aren't all the same.
And, that Google is a political animal, not to be mistaken for a disinterested observer dna news distributor.
(How's that for a typo? I had to leave it.)
