Election Results Thread
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
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 […]
Plouffe on Daily Show Tonight
Delawarean David Plouffe, architect of Obama’s 2008 victory, will be the guest on John Stewart’s Daily Show tonight.
Voter Intimidation In NY-23
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 […]
Republicans Already Claiming Voter Fraud In New Jersey Race
Hmm… wonder what will happen to this baseless accusation should Christie win? TPM has it all – and it’s growing. Republicans are ridiculous.
Tuesday Open Thread
It’s Tuesday! Do you feel the excitement of election day even if you’re not voting? If you do, you might be a political junkie. The Daily Show held an important election: NY vs. Philly for the “douchiest fans.” The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Clash of the Cretins www.thedailyshow.com […]
I Blame The RINOs
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
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
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
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
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.
