Alex Sink: White House is “Tone-Deaf”, We Paid For It
If anyone can claim to have suffered politically as a result of the Obama Administration’s out-of-touch policies over the past two years, it’s probably Alex Sink. She’s the Democratic Chief Financial Officer of the state of Florida. She was also the Democratic nominee for governor, running against Rick Scott. Despite running as a Democrat in [...]
Video Quote of the Day

The Gipper addressing the British Parliament. He defends liberty, attacks tyranny, and makes an offer that demonstrates in which system freedom really exists. Eloquent as always.
Note to GOP: Cut Lawmaker Salaries First
5. November 2010
When Republicans take control of the House of Representatives next January they should kick things off by cutting lawmaker salaries. The move would not only save money but demonstrate to taxpayers that their representatives in Washington are ready to sacrifice alongside the American people. The base salary for members of both the House of Representatives [...]
Corker: No Vote on START II Treaty During Lame Duck
5. November 2010
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), one of three Republicans to vote in favor of ratifying the disastrous START II treaty, now says that a vote to ratify the treaty during the lame duck session will not be acceptable. “As Senator [Richard] Lugar has stated, Senator Corker believes it is far more appropriate to deal with major [...]
MediaBistro: Insiders Say Olbermann Won’t Be Back
5. November 2010
MediaBistro is quoting insiders at MSNBC who say commentator Keith Olbermann isn’t coming back. Insiders we’ve talked to say Olbermann won’t be back. The question is whether he’ll leave or MSNBC keeps him off the air. I’m not sure I buy it just yet. But I can certainly imagine Olbermann’s pride being so damaged that [...]

Breaking: Keith Olbermann Suspended Indefinitely, Without Pay
5. November 2010
MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely, without pay. More: I actually think this is kind of bullcrap. What’s the purpose of banning Keith Olbermann from making political donations? Does MSNBC really think we don’t know he’s a biased commentator who votes for left-wing candidates? We know very well. So let him put his [...]
Pelosi Running for Minority Leader
5. November 2010
Outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will run for minority leader. Driven by the urgency of creating jobs & protecting #hcr, #wsr, Social Security & Medicare, I am running for Dem Leader. So she’s going to run for the relatively powerless minority leader position in order to protect the initiatives that got Democrats into the [...]
No, Christine O’Donnell Didn’t Lose Because of Karl Rove
4. November 2010
Drew has it completely right here. Yes, according to exit polls she did come close to matching Coons in independents (she ran 3 points behind him) but close isn’t good enough in a state where Democrats are an overwhelmingly large part of the electorate. Look at how voters identified themselves by ideology…23% liberal, 66% moderate, [...]
But Of Course: Bag of Uncounted Ballots Discovered in Connecticut
4. November 2010
Amazing! The Republican is staying competitive in the race and suddenly they’ve “discovered” a treasure trove of ballots that have yet to be counted and that could help sway the race. And the Democrats want the ballots counted as soon as possible and by city election officials rather than a neutral authority. How convenient for [...]
