As As Tom noted yesterday, it’s the white women, not men, who sealed the deal for Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania. This is, I would venture, in large part because of the so-called “Wal-Mart Women” demographic, which is particularly strong in places like Pennsylvania. White women in general were 47 percent of the Democratic electorate in […]

Business Week argues that it’s not about the white men this election, but rather lower-middle-class white women, the “Wal-Mart Women” as they call the demographic. These are the nearly 20 percent of American women who shop at Wal-Mart once a week or more, and they are, for the most part, a solid swing voting demographic. […]

Conversation topic of the day: has anything changed since Ohio and Texas? Is anything at all more clear because of yesterday’s vote in Pennsylvania? Despite winning yesterday, Conversation topic of the day: has anything changed since Ohio and Texas? Is anything at all more clear because of yesterday’s vote in Pennsylvania?

So we already know that Earth Day is a giant, population-controlling enviro-feminist plot. But the adventures in wingnuttery are only beginning. Via Feministing, we also learn that feminism is actually bad for the environment, according to Jack Cashill of WorldNetDaily: Indeed, stay-at-homes moms save the state’s highway infrastructure from meltdown, especially since a “nanny” often […]

Turning our eyes from the primary, via Matt, Kevin Carey brings us a much-deserved takedown of last weekend’s “Education Life” supplement in the Times on the recent moves by elite universities to offer more financial aid to low- and middle-income students. It’s not about getting them more money, says Carey, it’s about getting them into […]

Thinking about doing something to honor Earth Day today? Well, don’t forget that environmentalism is a giant plot by those pro-abortionists. Good thing the Family Research Council is here to remind us, via email: Today isn’t just another reminder to use recycled paper or drive energy-efficient cars. It’s a calculated attack on the sanctity of […]

This story, in addition to having the most obvious headline I’ve seen yet this campaign, should be frustrating for a lot of Democrats. Bill Clinton is now alleging that it’s because Democrats like to do democratic things like represent voters proportionately that his wife hasn’t won the primary already. If the Democrats had the Republican […]

There isn’t much at all to say about the Pennsylvania primary as we all twiddle our respective thumbs awaiting an outcome after all these weeks. But I’m up in rural New Jersey today in the town I grew up in, which is within the Philadelphia media market. And the hot disscussion here isn’t who will […]

The Washington Post analyzed nearly four years of data on the coal used to power to the six plants that supply most of the D.C. region’s energy. It’s not a huge surprise that the majority of it is pulled out of mountaintops in West Virginia, western Virginia, and eastern Kentucky. But the shock should be […]

Several weeks ago I mentioned the New York Times/CBS poll that found that 81 percent of Americans believe that “things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track” in this country. A few weeks ago, the Pew Research Center released a poll that goes deeper into the specifics, with some disheartening figures about how, […]
