Think Progress’ campaign against the stalking organization that O’Reilly leads has scored a victory. UPS has pulled their advertising from old Bill O.

A sign of the times. Three men are now under federal indictment for seeking out black people to beat up following Obama’s victory. This was the kind of thing we knew would happen, especially given the tone of the Wasilla-billy Sarah Palin on the campaign trail.

Looks like the Republican attempts at not counting all votes just got squashed: Al Franken received a potentially major boost towards his hopes of becoming Senator on Friday, when Minnesota state officials ruled that absentee ballots rejected because of clerical or administrative errors should, in the end, be counted. The decision by the state canvassing […]

This is a huge victory for the environment: Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) will become the next chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee after House Democrats voted to replace current Chairman John Dingell (D-Mich.). Waxman won 137-122 in the secret ballot vote. The dramatic intra-party showdown for the coveted position signals a leftward turn […]

I added a countdown to Inauguration Day on the site if you hadn’t noticed, but here is an even cooler countdown. It’s the Countdown to Victory Blog that has videos posted from around the world showing people watching, waiting and then celebrating the emergence of our 44th President.

Corruptocrat/convicted criminal Sen. Ted Stevens is in a dead heat and may yet win re-election even as he faces up to five years in prison for seven counts of lying. Out of those […]

Not anymore. A new McClatchy/IPSOS poll finds Obama is the strong on the family values issue: On family values, a subject Republicans have used to court Christian conservatives and suburban moderates since the 1980s, likely voters now prefer Obama over McCain by 8 points. That’s up from 3 points in mid-September. Let’s ignore the fact […]

Wow did McCain bomb tonight. Holy shit! HuffPo has the rundown of the news networks, who all gave it to Obama (even FOX). Instead of spending time writing out my words on this, I am going to let Andrew Sullivan speak for me: This was, I think, a mauling: a devastating and possibly electorally fatal […]

He got the bailout to pass! Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his top aides took credit for building a winning bailout coalition – hours before the vote failed and stocks tanked. The rush to claim he had engineered a victory now looks like a strategic blunder that will prolong the McCain’s campaign’s difficulty in finding […]
