O’Donnell Poised To Nationalize Senate Primary Race With New Hires
Christine O’Donnell will not be called O’Whackjob by me anymore. This blog will need to keep a clean record of the craziness that is about to descend on this campaign. If you don’t believe it, check out the credentials of the conservative goon squad she is bringing into Delaware. The O’Donnell campaign just recently hired […]

The ‘Lower 41’: Q: Are We Not Districts? A: We Are Paramecium!
Guidelines for drawing districts following the Census call for compactness, contiguity, and honoring the integrity of community, wherever practicable.

Any or all of the four could have, and should have, been grounds […]
