The conservative blog takes a look at a race for Congress, House Democrats’ latest power grab and an ad attacking John McCain. Moe Lane mocks those trying to shame Republican House candidate Greg Davis and other conservatives for running ads linking Democratic opponents to Barack Obama and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Lane notes that Davis’s opponent in his Mississippi race has now tried to distance himself from Obama. Pejman Yousefzadeh writes that those worried about an imperial presidency should also consider that there’s a threat of an “imperial speakership,” noting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plan to have the Iraq war spending bill bypass the committee process and go directly to the House floor. Turning to the presidential race, California Yankee is eager to note Factcheck.org’s analysis of the latest Democratic National Committee ad aimed at McCain. The blogger wonders when the mainstream media will take Democrats to task for “distortion” and “outright lying.”
