Have conservatives turned a corner? The annual Politics Online conference is this week. This is definitely a conference for the sausage makers and is aimed at those working in nonprofit, government or political technology. When I first attended in 2006, this conference helped my thesis come together, so I’ve always been grateful for it. As [...]

During CPAC, I had the privilege of meeting Patricia Sullivan, a strong conservative woman running for Alan Grayson’s seat in Florida. Yes, that Alan Grayson. Mrs. Sullivan is exactly the type of woman that I’m always hoping will run for office. She’s a staunch conservative, a Christian and a homeschooling mother of four. Calling herself [...]

All over the web and media, people are making a big deal out of the Ron Paul victory in the CPAC Straw Poll. As soon as I saw the results Saturday night, I really wasn’t surprised. I’m also going to disagree with some friends on this one. It wasn’t because Ron Paul will be the [...]

The conference last year encouraged me to dive back into the blogosphere. After a number of years, I [...]

It’s fascinating to watch other women get involved in politics, and it’s fascinating to observe  the media collectively explode in frustration. I keep seeing examples of women who were inspired to enter the political debate because of Sarah [...]

Last night, I wrote a long post on the Rush issue after Mike K asked my opinion on it. Somehow, WordPress got jacked up and only posted about a quarter of it. Below is a shorter version of what I wrote. First of all, Michael Steele is an idiot for saying something like that on [...]
