We have the midterm elections coming this year, and conservatives might be in for some very good news if statistician Nate Silver of ESPN's 'FiveThirtyEight' is right. The man who predicted Barack Obama's win and how all 50 states would vote in 2012, believes that the GOP has a 60% chance of winning back the Senate this year. He is basing this on Obama's current abysmal approval rating and some strong GOP candidates. This, of course, could change depending on what happens between now and November. Last year Silver believed it to be a toss-up.
Let's hope he's right, but the liberal media has another 7 months or so to do some damage.

ESPN'S Rob Parker Suspended For Questioning Robert Griffin III's "Blackness"
It's come to this: you're just not black enough if you happen to be a black Republican and/or dating a white woman.
ESPN's Rob Parker, who happens to be black, dissed Robert Griffin III- quarterback for the Washington Redskins- by calling into question his "blackness", and as a result Parker has been suspended for 30 days. While commenting on "First Take" on December 13 about Griffin's white fiancée and the possibility that he might also be a Republican, Parker said:
Parker did eventually apologize on Twitter:
"I blew it and I'm sincerely sorry. I completely understand how the issue of race in sports is a sensitive one and needs to be handled with great care."
What's with the whole "oreo", "Uncle Tom" invectives against conservative blacks? Shouldn't we be looking past the color of a person's skin, as the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. admonished during his "I have a dream speech"?
