Things are getting interesting in the land of half term governors: Republican leaders are angry with Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) for jeopardizing their chances of winning the Senate. Murkowski’s decision to mount a write-in campaign risks splitting the Republican vote between two candidates and could cost her party a safe GOP seat. “I am bothered […]
With the victory of Ciro Rodriguez in TX-23 last night, many have forgot who to really thank. I even forgot, but Kos reminded me. This is the sweet gift of one Tom Delay. His redistricting plan in Texas, which could still land him in jail, was a big winner for Democrats. (Graphic courtesy of […]
The house that Rove and Mehlman built is crumbling hard: Arizona Republicans in a crowded House primary denounced the national GOP Tuesday for taking sides in the race. “They’re idiots,” one candidate said. The National Republican Congressional Committee last week backed a candidate in the primary, launching a $122,000 advertising campaign for state Rep. Steve […]
The heat is getting turned up: U.S. Sen.

Ned Lamont, a millionaire businessman […]
I got the video and transcript up over at Crooks and Liars. Head on over and check it out. Ned did a great job tonight.
I wonder if Hannity will accuse the New York Times of “torturing” Lieberman now: Mr. Lamont, a wealthy businessman from Greenwich, seems smart and moderate, and he showed spine in challenging the senator while other Democrats groused privately. He does not have his opponent’s grasp of policy yet. But this primary is not about Mr. […]
This is awesome news: Sen. Joe Lieberman, under fire from activists in his own party, has lost ground to his challenger and is narrowly trailing him for the first time in their race for the Democratic nomination, a new poll released Thursday shows. Businessman Ned Lamont had support from 51 percent and Lieberman from 47 […]
I been catching up on clips and what nots from it. It my opinion Lamont showed that he is truly concerned about his constituents and the Democratic Party while Joe is worried about only Joe.
