Filed in National by on July 7, 2010 8 Comments

I honestly have no idea what will end up happening in November, but these numbers aren’t promising for anyone. 52% of the undecideds in the Senate race disapprove of President Obama to 35% who like the job he’s doing. They don’t think much of the Democrats in Congress either- only 26% have a like the […]

Not that this will matter to the educationally challenged. A British panel issued a sweeping exoneration on Wednesday of scientists caught up in the controversy known as Climategate, saying it found no evidence that they had manipulated their research to support preconceived ideas about global warming.

Crist Pulls Ahead In The Polls

Filed in National by on June 21, 2010 6 Comments

I’ve been watching Florida very closely mainly because it’s one of the most prominent tests the Tea Party will face.  And while a lot can happen until the election this can’t be good news for the “purge the moderates” group. Gov. Charlie Crist has a large lead in the three-way race to the be the […]

This kid is prepared, smart, informed and persistent.  The Candidate for State Superintendent of Arizona, however, is none of those things. Watch the video to the end.  Priceless and typical.

Filed in National by on June 16, 2010 12 Comments

Unstable Isotope posted on the laughable poll that shows O’Donnell and Urquhart winning big.  This got me thinking.  These guys, and gals, really, really, really believe they are going to win – and win big.  Take a stroll over to Delaware Politics if you don’t believe me.  On, UI’s thread I asked… The problem is […]

Buoyed by recent public opinion polls suggesting they’re on the right track with illegal immigration, Arizona Republicans will likely introduce legislation this fall that would deny birth certificates to children born in Arizona – and thus American citizens according to the U.S. Constitution – to parents who are not legal U.S. citizens. The law largely […]

Republicans Might Get Taitzed

Filed in National by on June 8, 2010 4 Comments

Ouch!  Orly Taitz could actually win, and… Republican heads are exploding. “It’d be a disaster for the Republican party,” says James Lacy, a conservative GOP operative in the state. “Can you imagine if [gubernatorial candidate] Meg Whitman and [candidate for Lt. Gov.] Abel Maldonado — both of whom might have a chance to win in […]

Via HuffPo: Three-quarters of registered voters think Congress should forget about the deficit and preserve extended unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies for laid-off workers, according to a new poll commissioned by the National Employment Law Project. Citing deficit concerns, Democrats in both chambers of Congress have said it’s time to start thinking about how […]

Because I Can… Tweet

Filed in Delaware by on June 7, 2010 4 Comments

Alas, I have given in and sent my first tweet 2 hours ago (@Pandoradl).  Needless to say, I have provided two hours of amusement for Nemski.  He even has me performing Twitter Tricks… like challenging me to add a photo without asking my kids for help.  And Geek had a chuckle with a joke about […]
