• Video: Is Your Home Joe Biden Proof?
• ‘PUBLICAN PORK: Earmarks for Me, Not for Thee.
  AmSpec’s Phillip Klein: “Conservatives who are excited about Republican victories in last night’s elections should read this article in the Politico and remember that the GOP has a long way to go before it has any credibility as a small government party. The piece takes a close look at the House select committee on earmark reform, which Republican leaders created among much fanfare after the Nov. 2008 election to combat pork barrel spending projects. Yet the committee still hasn’t delivered a report on earmark spending that was supposed to be completed in February, and more tellingly, eight out of the 10 members of the committee have requested earmarks themselves this year.”

• SAY IT THREE TIMES and IT’S YOURS FOREVER: Word for the day
• GOOD NEWS: Lesson learned: NRSC pledges to stay out of contested primaries
  Hot Air, Ed Morrissey: “A party that talks abut federalism and limited national government should have more trust in the people to choose their representatives in the primaries. Cornyn and the NRSC have taken a circuitous route to the right decision, but at least they got there.”
  Ahhhh…exactly.
  MORE: The Maximalists Win One: NRSC PROMISES TO STAY OUT OF CONTESTED PRIMARIES
  Ace, AoSHQ: “This promise applies to open seats only, unfortunately; presumably then they will still consider throwing money in favor of an incumbent, because that worked out so damn well with Arlen Spector.”
  This is one lesson learned–and the price to pay wasn’t high. If the RNC can learn a few more important, low-cost lessons, they may have a shot at actually speaking for the people–and that will be a huge place to be speaking from in 2010.

• ANN COULTER: Election 2009: Change I Can Believe In!
  “Not only do conservatives not pick insane fights — such as staging a 2006 primary fight against a recent vice presidential candidate because he supported the war in Iraq — but conservatives are more popular than Republicans. By contrast, liberals are less popular than Democrats. When conservatives take control of the Republican Party, Republicans win. When liberals take control of the Democratic Party, Democrats end up out of power for eight to 12 years.”
