This weekend amazed me. During all the talk shows hardly a word was mention about the resignation of Susan Ralston. Instead all focus was on the Foley scandal yet again. Ralston’s resignation is equally, if not more, important than Foleygate. Ralston was Karl Rove’s top aide. You could say she was to Karl Rove what […]
A large number of these contacts were with Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman. Roll Call has much more on this bomb shell.
There is no doubt that people are predicting an October Surprise this year. I have heard numerous ideas of what it might be ranging from the capture or killing of Osama to a drastic decrease in gas prices. While the later is seeming to come rather early, we are still left wondering what it could […]
Ken Mehlman has laid out his party’s strategy for 2006 and guess what? It is the same as 2004 and 2002: The head of the Republican Party accused Democrats of being willing to surrender the tools necessary to combat terrorism as the GOP tries to capitalize on its national security advantage in a tough election […]

And they said the grand jury’s decision last week sent the message that […]
Newsday gives us this nice little bit of information: Now that top White House aide Karl Rove is off the hook in the CIA leak probe, President George W. Bush must weigh whether to pardon former vice presidential aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the only one indicted in the three-year investigation. Speculation about a pardon […]
With a little over four months to go, things are going to really heat up for the mid-term elections: White House political strategist Karl Rove emerges from the CIA leak case with his reputation scuffed, his power slightly diminished, and Republicans counting on him, once again, to help rescue their House and Senate majorities. Described […]
Here in Ohio, today marked a day that could generate the strictest abortions laws yet in the country. The bill would have basically eliminated all abortions in the state.
