Crist Pulls Ahead In The Polls

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 […]

Could it be something in the cocktails served at their country clubs? But the party that has given us Sarah Palin and Michael Steele has now presented us with […]

You are to be forgiven if you have no idea that the Republicans are meeting today to give out party endorsements.  I have only really seen it discussed on the blogs on the other side of the political spectrum.  But the comments section of those threads have been highly entertaining.
