"One of the dogs that hasn't barked in this campaign is the massive financial advantage Mitt Romney was expected to enjoy on account of nearly unlimited funds available to him from conservative Superpacs. Yet, even including the efforts of outside groups, Obama has been out-advertising Romney in the key swing states...[.] The full story of how the financial tsunami failed to strike has yet to be untangled, but bits and pieces have dribbled out over recent days."

Democrats shouldn’t vote for Tom Carper. Period.

Without even going into his worst in the Democratic Caucus voting record, Tom Carper is currently giving Delaware Democrats the finger on giant bill boards. Perhaps as a response to Alex Pires' giant billboards which forcefully deliver the the message "Alex Pires," Tom Carper has invested in bill boards which essentially deliver his message "I love enabling Republican obstruction!"

Teabags proven right about Romney’s suckage – already crowing over Mitt’s loss

They predicted it. They told the party elites that Romney was not the guy. They said that Obamacare could sink the President, but couldn't be used by the man from Massachusetts. The eventual Romney loss was so clear to the teabags. So obvious. But did the GOP elites and shot callers listen...? Hell no. They went and forced this talking haircut on them, and now they are pissed. Pissed and vindicated. So vindicated, apparently, that they are not even waiting until election night to start talking about how vindicated they are.

Bob Casey in danger of giving away a safe D Senate seat in PA

If we lose this one, you'll probably be able to chalk it up to the despicable Citizens United decision. I've seen Smith's ads and he is running as a stealth wingnut. Smith's TV spots are not only frequent, they are very polished. If you didn't keep up with politics, it would be impossible to know who was the Democrat and who was the Republican based on the ads.

More austerity, perhaps, will fix this…

Spain is proving that austerity for austerity's sake is the "scab refs" of economic policy. Fixing artificial debt to GOP numbers, then taking away a country's ability to pay down its' debt is working for someone, somewhere. Nobody knows who is winning, but somewhere it is imagined that a banker is looking at a vault full of money and that makes it all worth it.

Evan Queitsch’s Bizarro World

108 Comments
Up until two days ago, I'd never heard of the impending disaster known as (cue foreboding music) Agenda 21. Until, of course, the person who no less an authority than Rick Jensen claims to be a serious and credible candidate unveiled Agenda 21 to his starstruck readers. You all know Evan Queitsch as Christine O'Donnell's hired muscle and current candidate for State Senate in the 11th District. He is opposing Bryan Townsend who, if Evan Queitsch is to be believed (insert joke here), is some sort of stealth double agent sent to Newark to impose the horrors of Agenda 21 upon an unsuspecting populace.

Scab Refs

So this experiment is scab officials seems to be going well for the NFL. Although, I watched the replay of the Packers game and it looked like one of the scab refs lost track of which team had possession of the ball and called a touchdown when it was clearly a safety touchback.

Wow. Just look at the new polls out this morning in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. Landslide baby. If Obama wins by those margins there, then he will also win in North Carolina, Missouri, Montana, Georgia, Arizona and South Carolina. Yes, I just said that.
