Jamie Weinstein is currently a syndicated columnist with the North Star Writers Group.
Jamie graduated from Cornell University with a double majored in Government and History in 2006. While far above Cayuga’s waters, Jamie was an online columnist for The Cornell Review and a weekly columnist for The Cornell Daily Sun. During his senior year, he was named one of the “25 Most Influential Cornell Undergrads” by The Cornell Daily Sun for his provocative writing and campus activism.
After graduating from Cornell in 2006, Jamie worked as a Collegiate Network Journalism Fellow at Roll Call Newspaper in Washington, D.C. , a paper now forever remembered for breaking the story about Sen. Larry “Wide Stance” Craig’s shenanigans in a Minnesota airport bathroom. While at Roll Call, Jamie wrote for the Capitol Hill paper and worked as the assistant to its executive editor—and Fox News “All-Star”—Mort Kondracke.
Besides Roll Call, Jamie’s writings have appeared in numerous publications, including The Weekly Standard, The American Spectator Online, and FrontPage Magazine, among others. His writings tend to focus on national politics and international affairs. He also enjoys the occasional satire.
A frequent traveler, Jamie has traveled the world, from China to Israel to Cuba and throughout Europe and South America. He has also traveled frequently this campaign season to cover the 2008 Presidential race in person.

Many people have speculated on who Obama should pick as his Vice-President. Instead, I present to you the worst five possible tickets for the Democratic Party this November. Well, maybe not the worst, but really, really bad.
Romney has been estimated to be worth in excess of $200 million dollars. After his primary campaign, this figure is probably about $40 to $50 million dollars lower. Spending another $50 million dollars on a McCain/Romney ticket would be a tidy sum and perhaps make Romney think twice before accepting the VP slot—even though we know he really wants it.

Ready for fair and balanced? Here you go: The Michael Pfleger story is a non-story and should have no bearing on whether one supports Barack Obama or not.
Ever since the exposure of Barack Obama’s pastor’s propensity to spout anti-American rhetoric, anti-Israel invective, and bizarre conspiracy theories, the Left has been scrambling around to find similar indiscretions by those close to John McCain. Enter Texas pastor John Hagee.
Limbaugh, of course, intentionally sought prolong the Democratic primary through his “Operation Chaos.” Operation Chaos urges Republican voters to switch their party registration and vote for Sen. Clinton in their state’s Democratic primary in order to help her win states and thus allow her to continue on in her quest for the nomination […]
