Sarah to Rand: Welcome to the Club

On the heels of my column about Rand Paul Sarah Palin knowingly gives the message that she has seen this before:

“One thing that we can learn in this lesson that I have learned and Rand Paul is learning now is don’t assume that you can engage in a hypothetical discussion about constitutional impacts with a reporter or a media personality who has an agenda, who may be prejudiced before they even get into the interview in regards to what your answer may be — and then the opportunity that they seize to get you,” Palin told “Fox News Sunday.”

My thought is that you have to be willing to go to those venues but be wary, trust by verify. Otherwise you are going to get an education.

Fedora now in Dixie

I am settling in at my Pal’s Vinnie’s house and just had the pleasure of seeing his parents for the first time in nearly 30 years.

the Guys join the Axis of Fedora

Vinnie’s brother Joe made the chicken and let me tell you, if I knew he cooked that good it wouldn’t have taken me all these years to get down here.

I’m seeing more of the family in the next few minutes so my itinerary is not tied down yet, so I’ll be playing a lot of this by ear.

Hawaii vs Pa-12

I’m not going to go deeply into the the Hawaii special election since I have to catch my ride to the airport but I will leave you with this question:

In Pa-12 a republican loses a special election in a district where A republican hasn’t won since 1972, although it has gone back and forth in presidential elections over the last decade. The election takes place on the same day as he faces a contested primary. That is a sign the Republicans are in trouble.

In Hawaii a republican wins a special election in a district where a republican hasn’t won since 1990 in a place where Democrats have not lost on the presidential level since 1984 and the district where the president is born and took 70% of the vote, and it is due to democratic infighting.

Why is one due to infighting and the other not? Why is one a sign of Republican weakness and the other not a sign of democratic weakness?

…As I finalize my trip to Atlanta to take a peek at Ga-4 and the Liz Carter Campaign.

My plans for the week are not in stone, as I ‘m staying with friends and a family that I haven’t seen in decades I’ll of course be wanting to do some catching up but that won’t keep me from the purpose of the trip.

I’m hoping to meet pols, bloggers, tea party members and the voters who will decide the primaries and the general election and give you an idea of it as well.

This fight is being repeated all over the country and hopefully my bit will give you a useful glimpse.
