I meant to post this at midnight last night. Oh well.

Jump Start: Discuss today’s elections.
It’s the race the political blogoshpere, cable and network news, and print sources are all talking about — New York’s special election in House district 23. If you tuned out Friday afternoon, you may have missed a few things.
On Friday, the day after the only three way debate, Hoffman continued to pick up endorsements from George Pataki and others. On Saturday Dede Scozaafava decided to suspend her campaign, and on Sunday she showed how much being a “Life-long Republican” meant to her — by supporting Democrat Bill Owens.
Scozzafava dropped out after Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman experienced a late-in-the-game surge. The move was expected to consolidate GOP voters behind Hoffman on Tuesday.
But on Sunday, Scozzafava issued a written statement in which she backed Democrat Bill Owens.
As Ed Morrissey and many others pointed out,
Doesn’t this prove the point conservatives had been making about Dede Scozzafava all along?
Why, yes. Yes it does.
As you can imagine, all of these various pieces have shook up the polling. The only one I’ve seen – post Dede – is one from PPP.
In a three way contest with Democrat Bill Owens and Republican Dede Scozzafava Hoffman leads with 51% to 34% for Owens and 13% for Scozzafava. In a head to head contest with Owens Hoffman holds a 54-38 advantage.
In other words, it’s a toss-up. What? That’s what Mike Allen suggested on Morning Joe.
The claim by Allen, Politico’s chief political correspondent, was so absurd that, on the spot, host Joe Scarborough offered 3:1 odds to Allen and anyone else wanting to place a few kopeks on Dem Bill Owens.
The real poll is tomorrow. Along with the governorships in NJ and VA it should be an interesting 48 hours.

Jump Start: How big is NY-23 to the idea of Reclaiming Conservatism?
CIT Group, one of those too big to fail? Infused with 2.3 billion dollars of taxpayer money?
Yeah!
The Obama Stimulus … Too Big! And its failing!

Following the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama for his incredible record of, well, nothing, at bRight & Early I pointed to an article in The American Spectator by Jeffry Lord. In the article he suggested that a real peace prize should be created and awarded in the name of someone who actually promoted peace and liberty around the world — Ronald Reagan.
The hard cold facts of history illustrate that the peace through strength policies initiated by President Reagan were a success. His belief in the importance of human freedom, in directly opposing tyranny and protecting liberty, combined with the maintenance and, when needed, projection of a strong military, ended the Cold War and the “evil empire” that was the Soviet Union. Reagan’s strategy freed millions of East Europeans enslaved since the end of the Second World War, which in turn was brought on by the inexcusably wrong-headed, naive if well-intentioned policies of one Nobel Peace Prize winner after another.
Jeffery has taken this idea and begun action to create Ronald Wilson Reagan Prize for Peace.

I know, I should be concentrating more on content then the look of the site, but it really is with the idea of adding new content that I’ve changed to this theme. Please let me know what you think, and if there are any problems with viewing the site.
UPDATE: I’ve changed it once again. The other, while nice, was going to take too much work to get it looking right. I like this one a whole lot better. Do you?
I wrote about the blogs that I’m a part of at bRight & Early this morning and some folks have come to visit. Here is what I had to say about this site:
[A] group effort with the aim of reclaiming conservative values. We are looking for bloggers (frequent or not so much) to contribute on that theme.
We are always looking for conservative bloggers who have stories they would like to post, primarily on the theme of reclaiming conservatism. As you can tell from the posts here, that definition is pretty broad. But if you would like to contribute here please register and then let me know at: lakelandjim at gmail dot com so I can change your permissions from subscriber to author.
Thanks for visiting. If your looking for other sites to check out see the post linked above.
I was honored to participate in the 2,996 project remembering Neil Dollard in 2006. D.C. Roe, who organized the first blogburst, is coordinating the project once again.
There is a new website for the project: http://project2996.wordpress.com/
Please go by and sign up to honor one of the victims of that awful day. I encourage my fellow bloggers to please help spread the word as well.
