Clinton Tried to Push Meek Out of Florida Senate Race
Apparently Meek himself was going along with the plan until his wife — wisely — convinced him to stay in the race. And speaking of race, something tells me black Democrats wouldn’t be thrilled by the prospect of an old white Democrat trying to push a young black Democrat out of the race in order [...]
Dude: Democrats Rush to Save Dennis Kucinich
28. October 2010
Renowned Democratic strategist Joe Trippi is appealing to Democrats to help save the seat (Ohio’s 10th district), apparently because it’s no longer considered a Democratic stronghold. And indeed, Charlie Cook says Democrats can no longer take for granted that they’ll hold the seat. If accurate, wow. Kucinich’s Republican challenger is Peter Corrigan. You can click [...]
Oh My: Barney Frank’s District Downgraded to “Leans Democratic”
28. October 2010
There’s safe Democratic, likely Democratic, leans Democratic and toss-up. We’ve gone from “safe” to “leans” in the period of just a few weeks. We’re a few points away from toss-up. That’s remarkable. Remember, Massachusetts is D+14 — indicating a strong Democratic presence. Frank has held the seat since 1981, and before him no Republican had [...]

Well, today one of those potential contenders — Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty — is returning fire with FOIA requests of his own. Pawlenty wants to [...]
Joy Behar’s Kinda-Sorta Non-Apology Apology
28. October 2010
She regrets repeatedly calling Sharron Angle a “bitch”, you see, because she refers to her closest friends as “bitches”. It’s usually a term reserved for people she knows and loves. And Sharron Angle is most definitely not a person she knows and loves. And therefore she regrets having used the term. Uh huh. Via HA.

Dude, that’s low. Just before Rep. Michael McMahon (D-NY) and challenger Michael Grimm (R) took the stage for their debate, the Staten Island Advance notes “there was high drama unfolding in the audience: The sudden presence of Grimm’s former wife in a front-row seat — courtesy of the McMahon campaign.” “Also, Grimm’s former father-in-law, businessman [...]
