An Interesting Poll
Steve Benen breaks it down, but here is what stands out to me: Elsewhere in the poll, Americans said they are concerned about the deficit, but when asked about nine different ideas for deficit reduction, the public opposed all nine. Try not to be surprised. [emphasis mine] Seriously, we’re all talk. About that GOP mandate… […]

Last Night I Was Shocked, Today It Makes Sense
Last night I couldn’t believe Christine O’Donnell beat Mike Castle. I walked around stunned. How could this happen? And then I realized what happened. Why wouldn’t she win? For far too many years the entire Republican Party has fed their supporters a steady diet of issue-less tripe. They’ve run on liberty, freedom, real America, family […]
C’mon
“Pastor” Jones is only a symptom of the real problem. Speaking just now on MSNBC James Zogby made a very good point — and pressed Andrea Mitchell on it. His point was that sure, this Pastor Jones fool is one guy, who’s managed to get worldwide attention for his stunt. But you cannot separate him, […]
