Comes one of their big stars, Republican Senator John Ensign and his admission to an extramarital affair. The affair was with a campaign staffer, who is also the wife of one of his senate staffers. Sounds like trouble in that office! Chris Cillizza has much more.
It looks like Team Obama will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to leaks, saying “if you leak, you’re gone”: Several Obama transition staffers have put a version of that quotation in transition co-chief John Podesta’s mouth. Many of the major staff appointments so far – Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff, Greg […]
Yesterday the Obama campaigned named two big advocates of net neutrality to his transition team. The best part is that they are heading up the review of the FCC: Susan Crawford, a professor at the University of Michigan Law School, and Kevin Werbach, a former FCC staffer, organizer of the annual tech conference Supernova, and […]

The photo, taken in 2006, shows the Democrat frontrunner fitted as a Somali Elder, during his visit […]
This time it is a former democratic staffer: A former office manager for Rep. Jane Harman (Calif.) and two other House Democrats pleaded guilty yesterday to fraud for taking $200,000 in public money by submitting phony expense reports, according to Justice Department and House documents. Laura I. Flores, 47, of Arlington pleaded guilty to one […]
I posted a picture of Mitt holding a baby the other night. Numerous news outlets also published the same picture (though my intentions were for some funny captions).
