Democratic Pollster: Republicans Likely to Win Wisconsin Senate, Governor Races
Earlier there was talk of Russ Feingold (D) catching up to Republican challenger Ron Johnson in the United States Senate race.

After Threat from Bin Laden, France Withdraws Troops from Afghanistan
28. October 2010
In such an uncertain world, it’s comforting to know that some things never change. For the French, surrender is always an option. France is leaving Afghanistan.

Bob Barr’s Strange Senate Endorsement
28. October 2010
The former Libertarian Party presidential nominee is backing Russ Feingold in Wisconsin. Which is, um, odd considering Feingold is one of the staunchest progressives in the United States Senate. He co-authored McCain-Feingold, arguably one of the most anti-free speech pieces of legislation in decades. He supports government-run health care. His record on the Second Amendment [...]
Meek Campaign: He Will Never Drop Out. Seriously, Never.
28. October 2010
It’ll be one hell of a flip-flop if Meek drops out now. I mean, as far as denials go, this is a pretty solid one. “The article is not true,” Meek campaign manager Abe Dyk said in a statement. “Kendrick Meek was never dropping out of this race, is never dropping out of this race, [...]
