GOP Primary Elections
Yesterday I told you how the GOP is poised to gain
seats in November, with political momentum currently on their side. However, a lot can happen in the next few
months and some of that momentum could be squandered by primary candidates who
turn out to be less than ideal. The biggest headline
was the win for Thom Tillis in North Carolina's Republican senate
nomination. He beat out the tea party
candidate, securing more than 40% of the vote. Tillis will go on to face Kay
Hagan for North Carolina's senate seat.
This win is lending some big weight to the establishment GOP, according
to political strategists. Tillis' win
has given momentum to the GOP establishment that is worried about being
challenged by conservative tea party candidates. At the end of the day, a win for Tillis
against Kay Hagan would be a win for Republicans and another opposition vote to
ObamaCare. Even if establishment
Republicans go on to win more nominations, it is still good for them to be
challenged by other conservatives. This
will only help to push certain establishment candidates further toward their
conservative opponents and it will mean that the message of conservationism is
being heard by the voters through these political ads.
Lewinsky Tells All
The world's most infamous
intern has published a piece in Vanity Fair. Monica
Lewinsky has broken her silence on her affair with president Bill Clinton. One
of the excerpts reads in part: “Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will
always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship. Any ‘abuse’
came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his
powerful position. . . . The Clinton administration, the special prosecutor’s
minions, the political operatives on both sides of the aisle, and the media
were able to brand me. And that brand stuck, in part because it was imbued with
power.” She says she deeply regrets what happened. People have been speculating
as to the timing of the article's release and the true motivations behind
finally telling all. Some, like Lynne
Cheney and others, think that
releasing this information now will help to get it out of the way early in
order to clear the path for Hillary to run in 2016. Lewinsky herself claims that the timing of
the piece was inspired by the tragic suicide of a Rutgers student who was
caught kissing another man, and she wants to help those dealing with online
harassment. Whatever the case may be,
Ms. Lewinksy has suffered enough at the hands of the Clinton political machine. |
