Philip Klein, American Spectator: DeMint’s Defense of RomneyCare is Ignorant…And Dangerous

But beyond being ignorant, DeMint’s comments are dangerous. I’ve long argued that the Massachusetts health care plan is not only toxic to Mitt Romney’s presidential candidacy, but it could prove toxic to the entire Republican Party. If Romney is excused for crafting and signing the Massachusetts health care plan, it significantly undermines the case against ObamaCare and weakens the effort to repeal it.

More thoughts on this from Ace O Spades HQ.

Hot Air: Too good to check: Hillary angrily “looking for exits” after Libya vacillation?

Fed up with a president “who can’t make his mind up” as Libyan rebels are on the brink of defeat, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is looking to the exits.

At the tail end of her mission to bolster the Libyan opposition, which has suffered days of losses to Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s forces, Clinton announced that she’s done with Obama after 2012 — even if he wins again.

“Obviously, she’s not happy with dealing with a president who can’t decide if today is Tuesday or Wednesday, who can’t make his mind up,” a Clinton insider told The Daily. “She’s exhausted, tired.”

Patterico: Clear Evidence of Voter Fraud in New Mexico

What will the voter fraud denialists say about this?

The New Mexico secretary of state’s office is cross checking the

state’s voter rolls with a list of thousands of foreign nationals who have been issued driver’s licenses.

The work is far from done, but Secretary of State Dianna Duran testified during a House committee Tuesday that the review has turned up evidence of foreign nationals obtaining a license, registering to vote and casting ballots.

In case you were wondering, that’s not supposed to happen.

American Border Patrol: American Border Patrol Silenced – Arizonans Deprived of the Truth:

In a stunning move late Wednesday, Arizona State Sen. Sylvia Allen’s office informed Glenn Spencer, head of American Border Patrol, a non-profit watchdog group, that her invitation to him to appear before her committee on the border had been withdrawn.
According to the spokesperson, Allen had yielded to political pressure from members of the committee and others to disinvite him.

THE DICK MORRIS POLL FINDS AMERICAN VOTERS BACK GOVERNORS AGAINST PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS

The Dick Morris Poll of 1000 likely voters throughout the U.S., conducted by live telephone interviews from March 10-15, 2011, found support for the Republican Governors of Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio in their battles with their public employee unions by 47-39.

Voters harshly condemned Democratic State Legislators who are boycotting their legislatures to deny the Republicans a quorum so they cannot pass legislation on collective bargaining and municipal unions. By 61-25, they rejected the Democrats’ argument that the boycotts were “necessary to stop legislation restricting unions from being passed” and said they “should return to the legislature and respect the decisions the voters have made in the last election.”

Hot Air: Trump: I have a little bit of doubt that Obama was born here:

Allahpundit and Ace think that Trump’s trying to endear himself to the conservative base ahead of the primaries, but I’m not sure the conservatives are that enthralled with the issue. Plus, it’s an issue that is certain to attract slings and arrows from the left-wing media. Why would he want to do subject  himself to that?

Anyway, Trump is another one who I really hope doesn’t run. PLEASE!

POSSIBLE BREAK IN MICHELLE MALKIN’S MISSING COUSIN’S  CASE:

www.findmarizela.com; Update: PayPal donation button added; Breaking…a possible sign of hope

Update:The Seattle Times has the story of how Marizela may have signed on to AOL/AIM Messenger recently. It could be potentially the huge break we need to locate her. The question is whether it was Marizela who signed on or whether it was someone else who had access to the account or whether the sign-on screen is misdated or outdated. Police are investigating.

Cross your fingers, pray, keep spreading the word. Thank you.

Fingers crossed, prayer sent.
