This ad is raising serious questions. Head on over to TPMCafe to find out what the problem may very well be.

John McCain was playing the “blame Clinton” game today on North Korea. Ignore the fact that if Clinton did so bad with North Korea then why hasn’t the Bush administration done anything to correct it in the past 6 years. If the Republicans once again want to put partisanship above national security, then let’s play. […]

Kenneth Blackwell’s gubernatorial race is so damaged that the African Republican is now out trying to court the white supremacist vote: The man who stole the 2004 election for George W. Bush — Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell — has posted a picture of himself addressing the white supremacist ultra-right Council for National […]

There have been a slew of new polls come out in the last couple of days. Instead of going through each one and doing graphs and highlighting points (that would make a huge post), I have decided to link to them. CBS News Poll CBS/New York Times Poll CNN Poll Washington Post/ABC Poll USA Today/Gallup […]

This weekend amazed me. During all the talk shows hardly a word was mention about the resignation of Susan Ralston. Instead all focus was on the Foley scandal yet again. Ralston’s resignation is equally, if not more, important than Foleygate. Ralston was Karl Rove’s top aide. You could say she was to Karl Rove what […]

A spokeswoman for Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) confirmed yesterday that a former page showed the congressman Internet messages that had made the […]

This afternoon on MSNBC we got a great taste of how right-wing talking heads can easily loose it. In two different segments, right wing talk radio hose Steve Malzberg was debating former Air America host Mike Malloy on Foleygate then later on teachers having guns in school. In both instances Malzberg attacked the MSNBC host. […]

Why does the GOP want Foley on the front page? Because they don’t want news like this becoming the focus point of the 24/7 news cycle: The number of U.S troops wounded in Iraq has surged to its highest monthly level in nearly two years as American GIs fight block-by-block in Baghdad to try to […]

I am really beginning to think that the Foley scandal is the GOPs campaign tactic. They want to keep the story out front. Here is my reasoning for this. 1. More top Republican aides keep coming forward and throwing new monkey wrenches in the story. Just today another top aide to Denny Hastert has come […]
