Crist Launches GOTV Effort Named After Failed, Unpopular Airline
29. October 2010
A quick lesson in political strategy, kids: Always Google the phrase you intend to paint on your bus before, you know, you actually paint it on your bus. Because sometimes the results aren’t pretty. PEOPLExpress Airlines, also known as People Express, was a U.S. no-frills airline that operated from 1981 to 1987. It had its [...]
Meek: I Discussed the Drop-Out Rumors With Clinton
29. October 2010
In fairness, his statement here doesn’t actually contradict his earlier denials. The story he was denying earlier wasn’t simply that he had discussed dropping out with Billy Jeff. It was that he was preparing to go through with it. In fact, it was alleged that the drop-out/endorsement event was actually being scheduled. Supposedly Meek had [...]
U.S. Economy Grew at Sluggish 2% in Third Quarter
29. October 2010
It’s faster than the 2nd quarter and slower than the 1st quarter. It was exactly what economics predicated.

The left-wing media will [...]

Reid: The Media Has Gone “Easy” on Sharron Angle
29. October 2010
Yeah, okay, whatever it takes to suppress the tears, Harry. Oh, and apparently she also speaks in a secret code. Or something. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) accused the media on Thursday evening of being “easy” on his Republican challenger, Sharron Angle. Reid accused Angle of speaking in “code words” in reference to some [...]

If Reid Loses, As Expected, Who Becomes Majority Leader?
29. October 2010
The question may become moot should Harry Reid be able to pull-off a major upset next Tuesday, but for now let’s entertain the thought: Assuming Republicans don’t take control of the Senate in 2010, who becomes Majority Leader with Reid gone?
