From leaving a safe Republican Senate seat and turning it over to a Democrat, to his current infatuation with tea party craziness, Copeland continues to prove that he has the…

Kloppenburg won an election she should never have won dealing a humiliating blow to the Republican Tea Party and their media toads. This is a total Wisonsin smackdown of Scott Walker.

I know that having "Two Tahitian Women" as one's favorite Gauguin panting is like having "Starry Night" as one's favorite Van Gogh painting, or "Water Lilies" as your favorite Monet painting, but some visual cliches are visual cliches because THEY ARE AWESOME!! AMIRIGHT? Anyway, art appreciation aside...

I am not breaking my recent promise to have mercy on my liberal brothers and sisters by dragging poor Barack through the "purity" mud with my magic pony. I promise. Rather - I am pointing out, (for my nth time as a blogger) that there are two ways to conduct a national campaign. There is the Democratic Party's system of trying to appeal to 5% of the "swing" voters through "triangulation." We can also call this the "50% plus 1" strategy that Bill Clinton won with. There is the "Energize the Base" strategy which a Democrat won with in 2008.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AFTER MEETING WITH HOUSE REPUBLICAN AND SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

The underlying message: Unlike his opponents, Barack Obama doesn't have the luxury of playing the political game on a 24x7 basis. He's not just a candidate, he's President of the United States of America. He's got the responsibility to govern, and he's not going to lose sight of that.

While Republicans will nominate a candidate for whom winning will be job number one, President Obama's most important job is and will continue to be leading the nation.

It could be my recent trip to Vermont speaking, but I'm coming to the conclusion that Obama needs a primary opponent to pull him to the left. While I realize…

So horrible that they fear women will fake having been raped, or lie about being incest victims in order to get abortions. Then they voted for a bill that forces “women who became pregnant due to rape or incest, or women for whom pregnancy threatens their life or could cause serious and irreversible physical harm” to carry to term.

Should be a treat. In this kind of setting Denn is as appealing as a box full of puppies. How he will make the Governor's budget priorities sound like a Democratic budget is an open question, but...

It is crazy time and the teabagy republicans are the Khmer Rouge of budget cutting. They want to cut the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) by almost 90%. What is the CRP? ...

Federal officials are investigating whether Senate President Pro Tem Anthony DeLuca's job at the state's Department of Labor violates a federal law enacted to prevent elected officials from exploiting government jobs for personal or political gain, The News Journal has learned.

Things fall through the cracks. It happens. We're a busy people. Nevertheless, I have to admit that I was pissed off when I read the speakers list for April 7th's Ignite Wilmington. The "voting" conceit...

I have a lot of slack for law enforcement. They have an exceedingly tough job, but as "Another Mike" points out, this Claymont basketball hoop drama is effed up in…
