Tomorrow (Tuesday, May 2nd) there will be primaries in Indiana, North Carolina and my own state of Ohio. I will be keeping the blog up to date on the returns here in Ohio. We have a couple hot races that are gaining some national attention. First we have Jean “Full Of” Schmidt running against former […]
The phase 2 report into the pre-Iraq war intelligence failure is still being stonewalled by Senate Intelligence chairman Pat Roberts: Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), who chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said he wants to divide his panel’s inquiry into the Bush administration’s handling of Iraq-related intelligence into two parts, a move that would […]
Oh this is to sweet to pass up. Seems as though the folks over at Powerline have are really spinning Delay: Former Majority Leader Tom DeLay apparently has announced that he will not seek re-election in the fall. No indication, yet, of his reasons. It’s too bad, I think. DeLay was an effective leader, albeit […]
Let me set the stage. A dark background with a constant thumping much like a heart beat. Loud crashes come through as you hear sound bites of George Bush vowing to “protect” the American people. This is the start of the RNC’s new ad to attack Democrats and it is great. The highlight of the […]
This is priceless: Republican pollster Jan van Lohuizen, in a memo written for RNC chairman Ken Mehlman, warns that if members of Congress try to drive a wedge between themselves and Pres. Bush, it’d be akin to adding weight to an anchor. GOpers are “W Brand Republicans” whether they like it or not. And van […]
The Republicans are getting called on their continuous rubber stamping for Bush (Christy has the details). What is amazing is the rubber stamp works both ways on this. Not only does Congress use their rubber stamp for Bush, but Bush also uses his rubber stamp for congress. Bush has yet to veto anything. This is […]
From Digby: When one party is as unpopular as the president the the Republicans are now, the public is open to hearing things they haven’t been willing to hear in a long time. Our polarized electorate suddenly isn’t so polarized anymore, even though the gasbags refuse to admit it. For the first time in a […]
Here is more polling data that was compiled on the Washington Post’s blog by Chris Cillizza. This is really interesting because it deals with the 2006 generic ballot: Organization SurveyDates GOP Dem Diff.

Bush has done it again. He has set a new low. PEW has released their latest approval rating for Bush and he is now at 33%, down by 7% from February. Also in the same poll they focused on the port deal. 58% feel Congress acted appropriately by opposing the deal while only 24% felt […]
Two new polls have Bush still in the gutter. First off, the WSJ released the results of a Harris poll today. That poll is putting him at 36%. That is down 4 points from last month and only 2 points about his all time low of 36% recorded by Harris last Novemeber. CNN/Usa Today/Gallup released […]
