Having just returned to the Commonwealth of Virginia, I was surprised to find out that the candidates facing off in our May 8th Republican “Drive-By” Convention (Virginia and New Jersey have odd-year state elections) for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general will be chosen via […]

Three Martini Lunch

Obama vs. Woke Culture, Turkey & Genocide, Collins Catches A Break

21
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

It’s all good martinis today! Join Jim and Greg as they stunningly applaud former President Obama for telling liberals that just blasting people for not being sufficiently woke actually accomplishes nothing. They’re also glad to see the House of Representatives vote overwhelmingly to blame Turkey for the Armenian genocide committed over a century ago and discuss why that matters now. And they discuss the financial and ethical headaches facing the likely Democratic challenger to Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins.

Maine Governor Paul LePage (R) has a razor-thin lead in a three way race, receiving 41% in a Rasmussen Reports Poll out today. Democrat US Representative Michael Michaud receives 40%, while so-called independent (read: liberal) Elliot Cutler places a distant third at 16%. In 2010, LePage won the Blaine House with 37.6% of the vote to Cutler’s […]
