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. Nor does his website mention party affiliation. He’s an “independent voice.” Apparently, even those running for state assemblies do not want to let voters know they are Democrats […]

Oh, No, Special Interest Spending Way Up This Election Cycle

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.

Apparently, Tom Coburn Is Just A Big Old Shark And Women Hater

For shame, Mr. Coburn, for shame. Two stories, the first from The Hill The feud between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Sen.

Dems To Talk About Jobs! Just Kidding, They’re Going To Claime Boehner Had An Affair

Well, really can you blame them? What do they actually have to talk about? They won’t talk about their legislative “accomplishments.” The heat is on Republican leader John Boehner.

GOP’s Pledge To America To Be Unveiled Today

GOP Readies New “Contract With America”

The Politico calls this an “election agenda,” but, as reported by The Hill, this is more of a governing effort. Regardless, if they put it in writing, they better be willing to actually stick to it House Republicans are planning to roll out their election agenda over the next two weeks as they seek to […]

Connecticut Race Now A Toss Up?

Obama won Connecticut by a margin of 61% to 38%. There hasn’t been a Republican Senator there since Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. lost to Joe Lieberman in 1988.
