We’ll be watching the results and updating you here. VA polls close at 7 pm, Maine and NJ close at 8 pm and NY polls close at 9 pm. We could actually be in for a long election if the votes are close, because then we’ll have to wait for absentee and provisional ballots to […]

Dave Burris Is Back… And He’s Not Happy

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 23 Comments

Dave Burris has returned to blogging.  Check out his new site here.  Like I said at his new place… you don’t know what you had ’til it’s gone.  And while I rarely agreed with Dave, he made me think.  Delaware Politics has become wingnut central – Be honest, Dave, how irritated are you that you […]

Voter Intimidation In NY-23

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 13 Comments

Haven’t we seen the rhetoric from the right wing fringe getting more and more violent. I hope violence isn’t inevitable but I’ll bet you’re not surprised to hear that Hoffman supporters have been intimidating voters in NY-23: I just got off the phone with former state Democratic Chairwoman June O’Neill, who informed me the police […]

I Blame The RINOs

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 62 Comments

For months I’ve been asking myself,  how did the Republican Party devolve into madness?  It seems to have happened overnight – most notably election night last November – but I know that isn’t true.  I know the current state took years to come to fruition.  I also know the insanity was wooed with skill of […]

I Still Say F U Lieberman

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 7 Comments

Color me skeptical: Sen. Joe Lieberman has reached a private understanding with Majority Leader Harry Reid that he will not block a final vote on healthcare reform, according to two sources briefed on the matter. The unpredictable Democrat-turned-Independent last week publicly stated he would join Republicans in filibustering the Democratic legislation after Reid (D-Nev.) announced […]

I Weep At This Tale Of Woe

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 3 Comments

Does anyone remember the McCain health care plan? Yeah, I didn’t either. On the campaign trail, Holtz-Eakin promoted McCain’s plan to eliminate the tax exemption for employer-sponsored health insurance and give tax credits to individuals to buy their own coverage. Republicans love them some tax credits! Anyway, McCain’s economic advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin is still unemployed […]

Oh. Shut. Up. Sussex County Whiners, I’m Calling You Out

Quel dommage, petites pauvres Sussex County condo residents. From today’s News-Journal, a bunch of self-entitled crybabies from Sea Pines Condominiums, and other overdeveloped areas of coastal Sussex, are whining that their aesthetic quality of life will simply be destroyed if/when a 100-foot communications tower is built near their property. Let’s illustrate just how dire their […]

Call It! Final Predictions of Nov 3 Elections

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 13 Comments

This weekend’s dramatic turn of events up in NY-23 means that the teabaggers bagged a real scalp from the establishment Republicans and no matter the outcome, the Republican Party (at least the part that is serious about governing) has a real problem on its hands. The media will be repeating that this election is a referendum on Obama (while the only nationalized election is NY23) even though Obama is holding his own with approval ratings pretty close to his election winning numbers and these other races haven’t been nationalized in the way NY 23 has been.

Rush Knows Something About Bestiality

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 0 Comments

I don’t know how many times we’ve declared that Rush has sunk  to new all-time low, but let me do it again. Rush Limbaugh on Dede Scozzafava, ex-Republican candidate for the 23rd Congressional District in New York: Scozzafava has screwed every RINO in the coun — we can say that she’s guilty of widespread bestiality.
