That Fedora sure gets around…

as Stacy McCain demonstrates.

He was kind enough to extend the loan of his casual fedora — my favorite from the Scott Brown campaign we covered together — which has made several guest appearances here at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

He treats me very generous in that sentence, he treats me even more generous in the paragraph that he closes with:

Please, help Da Tech Guy find the story that will allow him to travel as widely as his fedora has been traveling lately. Other assignments beckon me soon, but I sure wish y’all would send Da Tech Guy down to Savannah to cover the Ray McKinney campaign. It just so happens that the campaign has been making news lately, and Ray has two Republican primary opponents who might like to be interviewed by the founder of the Fedora Brotherhood.

You know if you’ve got friends like Stacy & Smitty you try to give you a hand when you need it you’ve got just about everything.

Update: $50 was diverted from the Pa-12 by the consent of the payee $830 left!

Since I haven’t gotten any takers yet for the Have Fedora will Travel stuff I’m figuring that if you readers might be interested in some original reporting I am proposing a trip to the Georgia 4th district to expand on the interview I did with Liz Carter. (more…)

A: What is the real net effect of Stormy Daniels running for Senate as a republican in La?

Camp of the Saints and The Classic Liberal decide the matter requires deep photographic investigation.

Nice pictures, but I’m still not convinced she’s worth $1900.

Oh and make sure you check out the comments at Bob’s site they provide some great one liners.

There is nothing more likely to throw away the GOP fall advantage

…than equivocation:

King asserts that Republican leaders need to be clear on what they would do on Obama’s health law if they took control of Congress.

“I talked to some of the leaders in the Tea Party groups, who ask to make sure that we define this repeal as 100 percent repeal. They are not going to have any patience with equivocation,” the lawmaker said.

Every indication that I saw on the Brown campaign trail, the reactions at CPAC, and the comments from my interview with Liz Carter indicate that it is Obamacare that has driven the collapse of democratic prospects. It has caused tens of thousands across the country to get involved when they were indifferent before.

If the GOP decides to hem and haw over this not only will they lose these involved people they will deserve to lose them. As I said back in January about the Brown race:

…it all comes down to what the GOP does with this. We are being given the best shot they will ever get and we’d damn well better take advantage of it.

Now is not the time to go wobbly.

Update: The American Spectator has more on the subject.
