John Boehner to Campaign With Nazi-Reenactor Rich Iott

Okay, this is provocative: According to Rich Iott's website--you remember him, don't you?--presumptive Speaker of the House John Boehner will campaign with Iott on Saturday. This seems strange on many levels. There's the Nazi reenacting level. The Iott-isn't-going-to-win level. And the Eric Cantor-has-repudiated-Iott level, which is doubly interesting because Cantor could possibly challenge Boehner for speaker. I'd have assumed that Boehner would be spending the… More »

Expect Rand Paul To Debate

I wrote last night about the broad sense among conservative voters here in Kentucky that Rand Paul simply had to respond to the "Aqua Buddha" charges by agreeing to debate Jack Conway on Monday night--he'd previously said he wouldn't, and he's scheduled to announce his final decision this afternoon. Expect Paul to reverse course and say he's showing up. According to a knowledgeable Kentucky Republican, the Aqua Buddha flap is killing Conway: "The subject was the… More »
