Rachel Maddow started her show last night with Rand Paul, the Kentucky GOP Senate candidate. By the end of the 20-minute long interview, Rand Paul came off looking like some totally blabbering idiot. Jack Conway’s campaign must be thankful for this interview, as it has just given them a ton of information to use against […]
Not really sure how I take this: During his three-decade legislative career, Schumer, 59, has developed a reputation as a razor-elbowed, shamelessly self-serving, media-addicted political monster. He is also arguably the single most effective lawmaker of his generation. Now, with confidant Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) hanging on to his seat by a thread, […]

Rand Paul beat Secretary of State Trey Grayson, making him the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate. Rand Paul doesn’t have a political career like his opponent, but he did […]
The AP has called the PA. Democratic Primary for Joe Sestak, ending Arlen Specter’s 30 year run in the Senate. UPDATE 1: Fox News and The Washington Post are also calling it for Sestak.
With the resignation of Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) today, that leaves a question of who could end up replacing him on the ballot this November.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer: The lawyer for a man accused of threatening a U.S. Census worker with a BB gun said his client “didn’t want to be bothered.” Those comments came after an arraignment for Hakeem Bilal, a disabled Vietnam veteran whom Springfield Township police arrested on charges of aggravated menacing and drug possession after […]
