I got to take a minute and acknowledge someone who helped get my interest in politics some 20 years ago. Wayne Coates has won Hamilton County Recorder after the votes were recounted. When Wayne Coates got the news Monday that he’d won the election for Hamilton County recorder, he exclaimed a word not fit for […]
Booman hits a tone of truthiness that won’t sit well with the blogosphere: James Kirchick likes to crow about how the Netroots don’t matter. There are a few former (Republican and Democrat) office holders that might beg to differ. But, Kirchick is right about one thing. If Obama listened to the Netroots’ advice all the […]
Poor Ted Stevens: Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens dropped further behind Democrat Mark Begich in his re-election bid Tuesday as the convicted felon’s 85th birthday became a grueling wait that could determine whether his decades-long hold on power is over. The longest-serving Republican in the history of the Senate trailed the Anchorage mayor by 2,374 votes […]
Bill Clinton was the last Democrat to win Georgia, so it’s fitting that he heads on down there and campaigns for Jim Martin. Well that’s exactly what he is going to do: Former President Bill Clinton will headline a rally for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jim Martin on Wednesday, the candidate’s campaign announced Saturday.

Bill Richardson met with the Barack Obama transitional team Friday in Chicago about a possible position as Secretary of State. Richardson, the former secretary of energy in the Clinton administration, is considered a top contender for secretary […]
Things look like they are going to get interesting next year: “The Bush administration overstepped in its exertion of executive privilege, and may very well try to continue to shield information from the American people after it leaves office,” said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who sits on two committees, Judiciary and Intelligence, […]
Democrat Mark Begich now leads felon Ted Stevens by 814 votes in the Alaskan Senate race. There are still about 40,000 more ballots to count, which Alaska says will be done over the next week. I guess they are waiting on Todd Palin to bring them in via snow machine.
Michelle Malkin has this cute little post up: Corruptocrat/smear merchant John Murtha wins. Corruptocrat/bribe freezer William “Cold Cash” Jefferson cruises to victory. Corruptocrat/convicted criminal Sen. Ted Stevens is in a dead heat and may yet win re-election even as he faces up to five years in prison for seven counts of lying. Out of those […]
