Swing State Blues For The GOP

Politics

This morning, Dave Weigel tweeted “Unpopular/overreaching GOP governors in OH, WI, FL — good or bad for GOP’s prez ticket?”. That really got me thinking about the upcoming general elections. The first actual poll of Ohio Governor John Kasich was released this morning. In it they find his approval rating at a dismal 40%, with […]

From Top To Bottom – A Look Back Over The Past Two Years

Politics

Like many others, I have spent the last few days really contemplating what will happen in the elections this November. As much as I want to be optimistic, I just can’t bring myself to it. Democrats are looking at a very dark mid-term and, as Peter Daou puts it, these are “dark days for the […]

John Boehner Wins His Primary

Politics

Last night John Boehner won his primary with 85% of the vote. A win for Boehner was all but guaranteed, but what makes it interesting is that the two challengers Boehner faced gained a cumulated total of 15% of the votes. These were two people who essentially did no campaigning at all and in a […]

Do Right Wing Bloggers Even Understand Politics?

Society

So I was reading this over at Power Line: Whenever President Bush talked about immigration, his approval ratings went down. It was like clockwork: liberals never understood that the fatal decline in Bush’s popularity during his second term had at least as much to do with his advocacy of “comprehensive immigration reform” as with war-weariness.

Why Didn’t CBS Ask All The Questions?

Media

There’s been a lot of talk about the low approval ratings for Democratic leaders in Congress the new CBS poll shows, and yes they are pretty dismal. What is amazing though is that they didn’t take the time to get the approval ratings of John Boehner or Mitch McConnell. Every poll I have ever seen […]

RNC Versus Republicans?

Misc

It looks like there is some bigger troubles brewing inside the Republican ranks: GOP leaders, in a private meeting last month, delivered a blunt and at times heated message to RNC Chairman Michael Steele: quit meddling in policy. The plea was made during what was supposed to be a routine discussion about polling matters and […]

Quote Of The Day

Misc

Matt Taibbi: I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically negotiating against himself to take the meat out of a signature legislative initiative just because his approval ratings had a bad summer. Can you imagine Bush and Karl Rove allowing themselves to be paraded through Washington on a leash by some […]

Will Republican Block An Obama Pick

Misc

With President Obama’s first pick for a Supreme Court justice looming, I am sitting here wondering if the GOP will try to block his pick. There is an interesting timing here. On the same week Arlen Specter switched parties, Souter announces his retirement. Specter was the ranking member of the judiciary committee and the friendliest […]
