Election The Conservative

• The Election ; a Conservative Victory

For some years the Columbia City Council and city Planning and Zoning Commission have leaned toward a skeptical attitude on development issues. Karl Skala of the Third Ward, Jerry Wade of the Fourth and Barbara Hoppe of the Sixth were the consistent standard bearers at the outset of their council terms three years ago. Now Skala and Wade are in retirement, and a new mayor endorsed by the Columbia Chamber of Commerce is in office. The balance of power has shifted dramatically.

• Tea Party May Become Governing Force ; the Conservative Political Movement Is Showing Strength As Election Nears.

DAYTON -- Conventional wisdom held that conservative tea party- supporting candidates could win in partisan primaries, but would be too far to the political right to win in the general election. Now that view has been turned on its head by polls showing Republican candidates who support tea party values running ahead or even with Democrats in races across the nation.

• ; Jockeying for N.Y. Times in '10 -- All Legally

On the morning after last September's Republican primary, the New York GOP faced a big problem. Rick Lazio had just lost the Republican nomination for governor to Carl P. Paladino but remained on the general election ballot by winning the Conservative primary. If Paladino was to stand any chance of defeating Democrat Andrew M. Cuomo in November, Republicans had to somehow get the Buffalo developer onto the Conservative line.

• Right Makes Right; Arlen Specter's Contortions Raise the Hopes of His Potential Democratic Opponent.

We think that embracing George Bush is wrong for Pennsylvania," says [Joe Hoeffel]. "And that's just what [Arlen Specter] is doing. Bush is a highly divisive figure who has chosen to help his rich and powerful friends at the expense of ordinary citizens, but Specter is defending him and his policies, which we don't think is in the interests of Pennsylvania's citizens. "The greatest risk in this primary election is that Arlen Specter becomes so conservative that he essentially gives up the moderate vote in Pennsylvania to Congressman Joe Hoeffel," says Pittsburgh-based political analyst Jon Delano. "During the last year we've seen a new Arlen Specter, and it's not the Arlen Specter who attracts independent and moderate Democratic votes. It's the Specter who reaches out for the [Rick Sa...

• Tea Party Uses Ariz. Summit to Scope Out 2012 Role

PHOENIX - Tea party supporters packed a Phoenix convention center Saturday to hear from two possible contenders for next year's Republican presidential nomination - an election the conservative populist movement is determined to shape after helping the GOP to big gains in the midterm elections. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty aimed to impress more than 2,000 members of the Tea Party Patriots with a full-throated call to "take back our country." Texas Rep. Ron Paul, already embraced by tea party members, also spoke. The segment of engaged voters could prove vital to Republican White House hopefuls, but it's an audience that is skeptical of the politicians courting their backing.

• Letters to the Editor

Make Democrats face reality To the editor -- The Sept. 19 letter to the editor, "Problems with GOP," is actually a great example of why a person should vote for the most conservative candidate in the next election. A party whose members habitually seek to synthesize their opposition of the other party into bigoted statements born of an absolute ignorance of reality deserves to be voted out of office. America cannot continue to move forward as a great nation led by platitudes, empty promises, so-called good intentions without accountability for their failures, and demagoguery.

• What the Election Means [Derived Headline]

What the election means As a political independent with fiscally conservative and socially liberal leanings, I think the conservatives and tea partiers need to learn from the grievous error of liberals after the 2008 election. Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi mistakenly thought the Democrats' election was a vote of confidence and a mandate to bring great progressive changes to America.
