Filed in National by on November 5, 2010 4 Comments

But GOP Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, the soon-to-be-ranking member of the House’s education and labor committee, dismissed talk that the new […]

He’s a great singer-songwriter (Richard, not me, although…), has written for Norah Jones among others, and has fans like Randy Newman and Bonnie Raitt. As smart, clever, and sophisticated as they come. Has my highest recommendation.

Mike Castle really needs to let it go. He stated today that he regretted not running a write in campaign, in response to a question at a forum in Wilmington, especially now in hindsight, knowing that Lisa Murkowski has appeared to have won her write in campaign in Alaska over her teabagger opponent. But hindsight […]

Running in the year of the “Reagan Revolution,” Hart was running against the popular Secretary of State, Mary Estill Buchanan. Hart only won by 19,000 votes out […]
