Day: July 10, 2012

I'm not a huge fan of Stenny Hoyer, but i love how he takes the GOP to the woodshed on taxes in this statement.

"Very frankly, history shows (Clinton era tax rates will hurt the economy) to be a fallacious argument. That was the argument they made in 1993 — that we were going to destroy the economy; that deficits were going to explode; that unemployment would skyrocket, and that the stock market would tank....

How awesome would it be if Paulist lunatics pull this off in Nebraska, and throw the GOP convention into complete disarray? That's a rhetorical question. We all the know the answer is, "So f@%$ING AWESOME!" GO PAULIST LUNATICS!!

I am issuing an APB for state polling organizations. It has been two weeks since we had a batch of state polls. We just got a Field Poll out of California, but what we want is polling out of the swing states. In the Gallup poll below, President Obama has a small lead over Mitt Romney, 47% to 45%, in 12 swing states. Across the entire country, the margin doubles to four, 48% to 44%.

Once again, I'll start. We can still look for another strong candidate to emerge in the 1st RD--one with the support of none other than our friend and colleague Mike Matthews himself. While noon today is the deadline for filing, it is not the deadline for withdrawals. There will almost certainly be some over the next few days. There are a lot of intriguing primaries on the docket. I'm gonna try to whittle them down to the "10 Most Fascinating Primaries" in a piece that will appear whenever I finish it. If I ever finish it. We'll talk about all of this on the Al Mascitti Show, this Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on WDEL-1150 Newsradio.
