It looks like Arlen Specter could end up being out of a job: Incumbent Senator Arlen Specter trails former Congressman Pat Toomey by 21 points in an early look at Pennsylvania’s 2010 Republican Primary. Fifty-one percent (51%) of Republican voters statewide say they’d vote for Toomey while just 30% would support Specter. If Toomey wins […]
If you been following my blog for awhile you know that I take the demise of the GOP very seriously. Sure they are fun to pick on and its funny to watch, but our democracy is reliant upon a two party system to enact a system of checks and balances. That very ideal is in […]
Norm Coleman sued and that ended up giving Franken a bigger lead than before: Democrat Al Franken today extended his lead over Republican Norm Coleman in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate election, after the counting of about 350 formerly rejected absentee ballots this morning. Franken captured 198 of the ballots, while Coleman took 111. The ballots added […]
Then the special election held in Louisiana yesterday for the state senate district 16 seat, had to be a test for Bobby Jindhal. And guess what? He lost – big time: Baton Rouge lawyer Dan Claitor beat businessman and fellow Republican Lee Domingue — the candidate with Gov. Bobby Jindal’s backing — to win the […]

And by a crafty political move. Reports are that Obama is considering appointing Sen. Judd Gregg (R-HN) to become the Commerce Secretary. New Hampshire’s governor would then have to appoint a replacement for Gregg and the governor just so happens to be a Democrat. What a move and one I don’t think anyone saw coming.
No one wants you to be senator anymore! The Minnesota Supreme Court on Monday rejected Republican Norm Coleman’s request to count an additional 654 rejected absentee ballots in his weeks-old Senate showdown with Democrat Al Franken. The ruling clears the way for the state Canvassing Board to certify results showing Franken the winner after the […]
This will be the first year that we have a Democrat in the White House in the modern blogging age, and with that I do have a rather dire prediction. As the year progresses and we start seeing exactly how soon to be President Obama governs, some of the groups and organizations we all cherished […]
He failed at running the RNC and has failed at being a senator: U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, who has struggled to boost his approval ratings because of close ties to President George W.
