Donatelli Appointment Hailed At Grassroots
By Roger Stone The Appointment by the McCain campaign of Frank J. Donatelli as Deputy Chairman of the Republican National Committee was hailed by party activists across the country today. Donatelli, who served as a Regional Political Director for Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign and served later in Reagan’s White House political shop, is viewed as […]
Good Bye To All That
Liberals are such hypocrites By Roger Stone When Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Ruben used obscenity and guerilla tactics to oppose the war in Viet Nam, Liberals thought it was cool. When Mario Savio started the Filthy Speech movement at Berkley, Liberals thought it was fine. “One – two – three – four we don’t want […]
Rollins Does It Again
Knifes GOP Nominee Apparent By Roger Stone With the predictability of the sunrise, the sometime-Republican consultant Ed Rollins knifed his own Party’s nominee on the record. Rollins, who managed Ronald Reagan’s cake-walk reelection in 1984, had no role in Reagan’s campaign in 1980 when I served as Eastern Regional Political Director with responsibility both before […]
The Clinton Ship Goes Down
By Roger Stone The New York Times details screaming matches between Clinton Campaign guru Mark Penn and Clinton Media Consultant Mandy Grunwald, over how to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Who Are The Superdelegates?
A review of the actual names of the Democrat Convention Superdelegates is like a trip down the memory lane of losers, including former Senator and Presidential candidate Fred Harris of Oklahoma, former Vice President Walter Mondale and former Vice President Al Gore. How in the world did they miss George McGovern?
Barack Obama and Eliot Spitzer
The Troopergate scandal in which Governor ‘Spitzer’s top Aides were caught red handed using the State police to set up Republican Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno hurt the Governor’s credibility tremendously.
