John McCain wants to be Bush so bad that he is now hiring all his people: Ken Mehlman, who ran Bush’s 2004 campaign, is now serving as an unpaid, outside adviser to the Arizona Republican. Karl Rove, the president’s top political hand since his Texas days, recently gave money to McCain and soon after had […]
The Politico takes an good look at how the GOP is in an “anemic” state: As the New Year arrives at last in Iowa, the signs are everywhere why Democrats have much more reason than Republicans to welcome 2008. Iowans are voting with their feet. While both parties have wide-open nomination contests, crowds for the […]
Last year, Ken Mehlman was always appearing on different talk shows, but his message was always the same. He would constantly resort to his meme of “the Democrats are not unified”.

I just got this cute little email from the RNC and had to chuckle: Our immigration system is broken. And we need your help to fix it. In his address to the nation last night, President Bush showed the way to getting real results on this difficult issue. We need your help today to stand […]
Today started with Howard Dean sending this letter to Ken Mehlman: Dear Ken, Yesterday, the AP ran a story entitled “Phone Jamming Records Point to White House.” This story provides new details about the role of the New Hampshire Republican Party in the phone-jamming scandal and raises serious questions as to whether the RNC and […]
