MSNBC’s First Read has a really good round-up of what last night means for the Republicans: How do we make sense of Christine O’Donnell stunning Mike Castle in Delaware, Carl Paladino crushing Rick Lazio in New York’s GOP gubernatorial primary, and Kelly Ayotte and Ovide Lamontagne still running neck-and-neck in New Hampshire’s Senate GOP contest? […]
Caroline Baum from Bloomberg has some very interesting advice for Democrats this fall: Congressional Democrats like to blame former President George W. Bush for just about everything: the lousy economy, high unemployment, trillion-dollar deficits, two wars – and probably the bedbug epidemic in New York City.

Articles like this always make me laugh: State government is owed more than $33 million in unpaid fines and interest from candidates and political committees cited by the Ohio Elections Commission.

Bush. In his eight years in office, Mr. Bush played just 24 […]
This morning on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough declared the Bernard Kerik has a great man that they only went after because Rudy Giulliani ran for President. Either Joe is crushing on Rudy and Bernard so much that he is flat out lying, or Joe is a moron. Actually it could be both, but let’s recap […]
Michael Steele took to the airwaves today to try and fix his highly tarnished record. That of course didn’t work out too well as Steele tried to pull out the race card, something he said he never does just a few short months ago. As if that isn’t bad, now we have the news that […]
So I start my morning peruse of the blogosphere and see this at Glenn Reynolds’ site: BRITISH: “Special Relationship” with U.S. Is Dead.
