As you know I’m still in my Am I worth half as much as Andrew Sullivan fundraiser. It has 7 weeks to go and it has gotten off to a slow start (thanks to all who have kicked in BTW).

As important as that is to me we are going to suspend it for a day for the Christine O’Donnell Money Bomb

It’s important to have conservative blogs, but to make change you have to have the actual candidates. Christine is the real thing, so if today you were thinking of hitting DaTipJar I suggest it might be a better time to hit her Money Bomb.

I can manage for a day.

So I’m happy to Join Robert Stacy and promote this Money Bomb, lets drive Tina Brown even more Nuts over Republican women

Oh and use this link to get to her site. The first google result will take you to a phony site attacking her after all if you actually see the candidate you might like her and the left and the rinos can’t have that can they?

Charlie Crist getting some free publicity…

…as Morning Joe broadcasts from Pensacola.

Now Joe is from Pensacola so it makes sense but no tough question has headed Crist’s way from these guys. Like for example is he buying any of those booms from Maine, they’ve known about them for a little while now, has Crist purchased any to protest the beach?

Just askin’

Update: In fairness they had Marco Rubio on for a segment or two as well. No sign of Kendrick Meek.

If you wonder why pro-life forces fight so hard…

…it is because of stories like this:

A fifth of nurses interviewed by researchers admitted that they had been involved in the euthanasia of a patient based on the “assumption” they would want to die. Nearly half of the nurses – 120 of 248 – admitted they had taken part in “terminations without request or consent”.

Euthanasia has been legal in Belgium since 2002. It accounts for two per cent of all deaths annually. The law states that patient consent must be given and that doctors must carry out the procedure. But the study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows that the rules are routinely flouted and shows how doctors often delegate the administering of fatal drugs to nurses.

You know that old Hippocratic oath had something to it. If you work under the assumption that the job is to preserve life and always err on the side of life you don’t get this type of thing, but once the attitude changes and the idea of cost take precedence the equation changes.

This is the result of a post Christian Europe and it is on its way here. It will not take one year or even 5, but by the time many of those who supported this health care plan become old enough to need this care, they may find that they ended up voting for their own end. In fact you have candidates openly stating this type of stuff today.

The reclusive leftist hasn’t done much blogging

lately because as has been noted in slate no feminist has had much to say about all these successful GOP women:

I’m not surprised that the only primary race to be noted by Feministing is Kamala Harris’ victory in the Democratic race for California attorney general or that the comments on a straightforward who’s-who post at Jezebel are full of bile regarding Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman. But it is disappointing that many liberal women don’t even seem to want the GOP to have strong female candidates. As Sara Libby wrote in Slate yesterday, “Do you still cheer if the ceiling is crashed by two conservative businesswomen?” To answer a question with a question, why not? (Especially in a primary.)

And the amazing think is it extends beyond the base races:

Nor are these high-profile victories the only signs that this is a conservative woman’s moment. Earlier, Susanna Martinez overcame a spending disadvantage to win the Republican gubernatorial nomination in New Mexico; if victorious in November, she will join Marco Rubio as a rising Hispanic star on the national stage. Anna Little, mayor of Highlands in Monmouth County, leads for the GOP nomination in New Jersey’s Sixth Congressional District; Little had the backing of tea-party activists, Faith and Freedom Coalition (which I founded last year), and Building a New Majority, a New Jersey group focused on ground game and turnout. Little’s margin stands at only 65 votes, so there may be a recount, but if she holds on, she will face Frank Pallone Jr., one of the most liberal members of Congress, in the fall.

National review gives the answer without realizing it:

One of the clear winners yesterday was Sarah Palin. The liberal media wrote her obituary after the 2008 elections, but she has emerged as one of the most influential political figures in the country. Not every candidate she has endorsed this year has won, but her support played a critical role in validating the candidacies of Nikki Haley and Carly Fiorina.

If it highlights Palin that is a step too far for the “sisterhood”. Of course if it was truly a “sisterhood” of women then they would be objecting to the implant stories.

Drew Carey they’re not:

Update: Stacy makes a simple point, if nothing else it does produce hits.
