If you have any doubts rather Pelosi should be minority leader or not, just take a look at this post from Armstrong Williams: A barely known Democratic member of the House has done what over a half-dozen more qualified of his colleagues have cowered in fear over — mount a challenge to Rep. Nancy Pelosi […]
This from Rasmussen really has me scratching my head: Hold the celebration. Most voters expected Republicans to win control of the House of Representatives on Election Day, but nearly as many expect to be disappointed with how they perform by the time the 2012 elections roll around. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds, […]
Now that we are 5 days away from Election Day, we need to start asking ourselves what our future holds. By all odds we are looking at Republicans regaining control of one house of Congress, if not both. But what are our new leaders promising us? Let’s look: – Repeal healthcare – Extend Bush tax […]
Fred Barnes, writing from his undisclosed la-la land location, is arguing that Paul Kirk won’t be able to vote after Tuesday. His argument: But in the days after the election, it is Kirk’s status that matters, not Brown’s. Massachusetts law says that an appointed senator remains in office “until election and qualification of the person […]
I’m just spit-balling here, but something has struck me. For years we have talked about how banning abortion was a necessity for Republican victory, as backed up by the evidence of them actually not doing much to deliver once in office. The thought is that Republicans need to keep the abortion debate alive to insure […]

Having been a life long Democrat and getting involved in […]
When there is a ton of finger pointing at the Democrats going on, it can only mean one thing – ELECTION DAY! Earlier today, the Hoffman campaign and conservative bloggers threw a fit over a very nefarious accusation: That somebody had slashed the tire of a Hoffman poll-watcher’s pickup truck. “Hoffman Poll Watcher Has Tires […]
I believe this news is a perfect example of my “sliding scale” of political parties I discussed in my previous post. A lot will try and claim that Scozzafava made this decision out of malice against people like Palin, but I believe it isn’t that simple. Scozzafava was more to the right on fiscal issues, […]
This from a new CBS/New York Times poll is stunning: The poll found that most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector. [SNIP] The national telephone survey, which […]
There has been so much talk lately trying to blame the market on Obama. Bob has been keeping track of MSNBC’s usage of a graph tracking the market since election day. So I wonder if the media would mind using some other numbers? DJIA when Bush took office: 10781 DJIA when Bush left office: 7949 […]
