Dick Cheney backtracks from his statement that he “didn’t know Colin Powell was still a Republican,” and says, “We’re happy to have General Powell in the Republican Party.” (Obviously, he isn’t speaking for the right-wing blogosphere, most of whom are calling Powell a “RINO” and screaming, “Traitor! Good riddance, who ...

Here’s Colin Powell on Face the Nation, addressing the attacks launched on him by Rush Limbaugh and former VP Dick Cheney. I had big differences with Colin Powell when he was Secretary of State, but I believe he’s right on the money when he says the Republican Party needs to ...

Andrew Malcolm has the full text of GOP chairman Michael Steele’s speech today: RNC Chairman Michael Steele tries to re-rally the GOP. A point that Steele made: “The Republican Party is again going to emerge as the party of new ideas.” The key phrase, though, seems to be that the ...
In an interview with Fox News’ Carl Cameron today, GOP chairman Michael Steele said that the idea of purging centrists from the Republican Party (an idea currently very popular in the right wing blogosphere) is “boneheaded.” Another quote from Steele’s interview: How is kicking Colin Powell out, or kicking ...

Social conservatives are up in arms about RNC chairman Michael Steele’s less than pure opposition to abortion, and calling for his job. Allahpundit puts up a poll: Is it time for Steele to go? I’m curious to see how LGF readers feel on the subject, so here’s our own poll: ...
RNC chairman Michael Steele told an interviewer that he supports “individual choice” in abortion, and now all heck has broken loose; Steele is trying to spin it, but fundamental pro-lifers are not amused: Steele, under fire, walks back ‘choice’ remark. This is Steele’s latest statement, supporting the GOP platform’s call ...
Did sex appeal hurt Sarah Palin in the election?
Is there a little bit of friction between the RNC and Sarah Palin, perhaps? Palin stiffs the House Republicans. ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reports: When House Republicans planned their annual winter retreat, they extended an invitation to Alaska Gov. Sara Palin, hoping the party’s 2008 vice presidential nominee would ...

The Ustream video feed from the RNC now has a “slideshow” of the speeches at the convention: [Video]
Watching the Republican Convention, I couldn’t help wondering whether all those left-wing musicians whose songs they were playing (Heart, Van Halen, etc.) had given permission for their work to be used. The answer: no. Ann and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off a ...

The balloons are dropping and the Republican convention is drawing to a close. John McCain’s speech had some dull moments and was interrupted several times by Code Pink morons, but ended on a high note. In my opinion, they could have boiled the entire convention down to one day, saved ...

The mainstream media keeps telling us that the Obama campaign is much more “Internet savvy” than the McCain campaign—but the DNC didn’t have a high quality live web feed like this one. The RNC’s Ustream feed is actually about seven seconds ahead of C-SPAN on my local cable channel. [Video ...
