RNC Chair Race Update
A majority of the 168 RNC members (88 of them) have now publicly endorsed a Candidate in the Chairman/woman race. Hotline has the updated counts, and I’ve included in parentheses the gains for each Candidate over the past week: 1. Priebus - 34 (+4) 2. Steele - 17 (+2) 3. Wagner - 14 (+2) 4. Anuzis - 14 (+4) 5. Cino - 9 (+3) Despite 15 new Endorsements over the past week, no one Candidate seems to be enjoying overwhelming momentum in this race. The most inter...

Updating Hotline's RNC Chairman's Race Whip Count
More than half the voting members of Republican National Committee have declared their support for one of the five contenders seeking the chairmanship, and with just a week to go before the January 14 vote, the race has a clear front-runner in Wisconsin Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus. Still, Priebus has about a third of the 85 votes he would need to win, meaning any of the contenders have a path to victory. RNC history shows that the front-runner doesn't always win in the end (Check ou...

Truth and Liberty and Freedom: The Journey Of My American Odyssey As An American In This Great American Land Of Ours. Also. Free
If you’re like me, you are very excited that Tim “Black Hole of Charisma” Pawlenty has a new book coming out that, aw shucks, may or may not be a harbinger of his inevitable failed run for the presidency. An Evangelical Christian who has been an outspoken voice for the GOP, Pawlenty sat down exclusively with “Nightline’s” Terry Moran to talk about running for president in 2012, his chief potential rival Sarah Palin and President George W. Bush’s legacy...

Increased police presence at delayed Arizona game

Fans at Sunday's game noted a more thorough search of their belongings than usual. University President Robert Shelton spoke to the big crowd at McKale Center from mid-court. He thanked Stanford for cooperating in the delay and praised d...

Moment of silence observed before game
A moment of silence was observed before Sunday's game between Arizona and Stanford, which was pushed back a day after the shootings of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others outside a Tucson Supermarket. Before the game, University of Arizona president Robert Shelton spoke from midcourt to the crowd at McKale Center. He thanked Stanford for cooperating with the postponement and he praised doctors at nearby University Medical Center, where the Shooting Victims were taken Saturday mor...

Rest in peace Christina Green
It's an ugly shame that more people will know the name of Jared Lee Loughner than of Christina Green, the nine-year-old girl he killed yesterday. Born on 9/11/01, she was interested in politics already, active in her school's Student government. She was at Rep. Giffords's event to see "government in action," as we've heard. Little did anyone know yesterday morning that Christina would be the teacher, as Children often are. From its precious beginning to its premature end, her life stands as a co...

Boston University defeats Vermont 74-65
Darryl Partin and John Holland each scored 24 points as Boston University defeated Vermont 74-65 Sunday, snapping the Catamounts' four-game Winning Streak.

Some interesting shooting-related links | Michael Tomasky
I just wrote my big take on the shooting for tomorrow's newspaper. I assume it will be posted here this afternoon some time US time. Rebecca Traister wrote a fine piece at Salon on Giffords. Michele Goldberg had an interesting-as-usual take at the Tablet. Ditto Adele Stan at Alternet (she closely chronicles the right, and frankly I don't know how she can stand doing it). Max Blumenthal has a wonderful piece, also in Salon, about the slain judge, who seems a man of great distinction. Max once t...

C&L;'s Late Night Music Club With Beck
I always like it when Beck showcases his more sensitive 'songwritery' side, and this song ranks up there in the pantheon of great break up songs. What's your favorite break-up song/record?

Open Thread
Ordinarily, I run The Professional Left Podcast here on Saturday nights. The Podcast was posted yesterday before the horrific tragedy in Arizona. In the podcast, we note that only a few days ago the RNC Chairman debate included the question "how many guns do you own?" I have consulted with Driftglass, and because we make light fun of that question in our earlier recording, and in the shadow of the tragic events of today, we've asked that C&L not front-page the Podcast this week. It was poste...

Remembering A Founding Father
Remembering a Founding Father One of the key men responsible for nurturing both the modern Republican Party in the South and the post-war national Conservative Movement, including HUMAN EVENTS, died December 31. Roger Milliken, extraordinarily successful textile Magnate and vigorous backer of conservative causes and Candidates, was 95. The scion of a Northeastern textile family and a Yale graduate, the man that generations of Conservatives called only “Mr. Milliken” took over his f...

The Fix: Pawlenty defends Palin
Tim Pawlenty takes aim at critics of Sarah Palin in his new book, which is set to released Tuesday and a copy of which was obtained by the Fix. And in doing so, the former Minnesota Governor seems to be saying something about his own blue-collar appeal as he weighs a run -- perhaps against the former Alaska Governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee -- for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. The book, called " Courage to Stand," represents the latest in a series of steps ...

Jared Lee Loughner Youtube channel
Jared Lee Loughner YouTube channel The AP released the name earlier of Jared Laughner was the suspect in the Gabriel Giffords shooting earlier today in Tucson, Arizona. However, a youtube channel belonging to someone named Jared Lee Loughner has been discovered. According to the youtube channel, Jared Lee Loughner is from Tucson. So we will see if this is the proper spelling of the shooter’s name. Right now, we still assume the AP report and spelling of Laughner is the proper version. ...

Shooter of Rep. Giffords Burns U.S. Flag in YouTube Video; Lists Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf as Favorite Books
Updated 3:52 PM CT Gateway Pundit has posted this video , which may be of the alleged shooter of Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords - Jared Lee Loughner. The video is favorited in Loughner’s YouTube account , but the origin of that video has the same format and feel of Loughner’s page.

Crazy Doc McElroy pens an op-ed and the Bad Astronomer takes a whack at it so I don't have to. Who is McElroy you ask? The former head of the Texas Board of Education: Mind you, this is the one and the same Texas BoE that has been fighting teaching kids about evolution tooth and nail, which downplayed the Big Bang Theory, which took Thomas Jefferson out of the standards, which praised Joseph McCarthy, which screwed up the state standards so massively California issued a warning that it would b...

Shooter ID'd
The shooter is apparently one Jared Lee Loughner. His YouTube channel is here. He appears quite troubled. We need to know more about this guy and what his background is, but I don't know many lefties who are goldbugs and have a fixation on guns and the US Constitution. No matter, Wingnuts are already saying SEE HE'S A LEFTIST! ...
