UPDATE II: Specter Switching Parties Today / Cut Deal w/ Dem Honchos for Primary Support
Eschaton Reporting: Shuster just said that Dems promised not to field primary candidate against Specter. Obviously they can’t stop someone from running, but it does mean the state party and the DSCC will throw their weight behind Specter to some degree. Craptacular. — Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter will switch from the Republican to the Democratic […]
Mr. Shortcut To Vie For Party Spot
Mike Protack needs a shortcut to political success. The normal political grind of making friends, raising money, being helpful, sitting through committee meetings, and creating value behind the scenes does not seem to appeal to the feisty leatherneck – so this is totally believable. If you are a delegate to the DE State GOP Convention, […]
What Were They Thinking?
NEW YORK (CNN) — A White House official apologized Monday after a low-flying Boeing 747 spotted above the Manhattan skyline frightened workers and residents into evacuating buildings. “What were they thinking?” should probably be changed to Were they thinking?

The directness of great blogging has a way of pissing people off. Because, when all […]
The Wingnut Freakout Over the Swine Flu
Notwithstanding that this flu business will end up being a smaller deal than the tone of the news would tell you, the wingnuts are in Full Freakout Mode over his thing: Glenn Beck thinks that Obama is reacting to the swine flu outbreak too fast — fast enough to fully staff the DHS while we’re […]
Poll: Do you have any poll questions that you would like to share?
Nemski’s been sick over the last few days and is unable to get the creative juices flowing for a poll question, so please help me out.
Showdown
Jack Markell vs. recalcitrant, corrupt, out of touch, bought and paid for, clubby bureaucracy.
Final Thought – Most conservative
What president was the most conservative? Now that Dubya is so unpopular, many conservatives are quick to claim that Bush wasn’t really a conservative anyway. But honestly, who can they compare him to? Bush Sr., Reagan, and Ford all passed big tax hikes, as did Hoover. Ford surrendered Vietnam, both Reagan and traveled to Moscow […]
