Ezra Klein has a snit fit The good news: The private sector gained 64,000 jobs in September. The bad news? The public sector lost 159,000. And they weren’t all census jobs, either.

So, I just saw a commercial for Grier Martin, who is running for re-election in North Carolina for District 34, General Assembly. No mention of party affiliation.

They won’t run on their record. They won’t discuss their votes for ObamaCare, the Stimulus, and others. They won’t talk about their non-votes for keeping the “Bush tax cuts” and a budget. Many won’t even say they are Democrats in their ads. What to do? Use the minimum wage as a scaretactic Now, Democrats are […]

You know which side is going to be the bad guy, right? Interest groups are spending five times as much on the 2010 congressional elections as they did on the last midterms, and they are more secretive than ever about where that money is coming from. The $80 million spent so far by groups outside […]
