Roy Blunt and Robin Carnahan on the Kagan nomination
By: Bill S (Diary) | May 12th at 10:00 PM |
Missourians are no doubt curious about what the two leading candidates in the 2010 Missouri Senate race think about President Obama’s nomination of Elena Kagan to replace Justice John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court. So what do the two key candidates have to say? Republican Congressman Roy Blunt, on what the GOP and the Senate should do: Judicial nominees should meet a substantially different | Read More »

How does Sestak match up against Toomey?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 11th at 02:30 PM |
Thanks to Arlen Specter’s collapse, it’s now more than academic to see how Joe Sestak matches up against Pat Toomey in the Pennsylvania Senate rate. So, on to Rasmussen’s poll from the 6th.
DSCC Head Menendez is Not Helping
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | May 11th at 08:30 AM |
New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, has come out against Arizona’s immigration enforcement law. Menendez called on Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star Game out of Phoenix. WASHINGTON — Sen.

Poor Robin Carnahan. It was *not* a good week for her.
By: Bill S (Diary) | May 9th at 09:00 PM |
After a week like this, Robin Carnahan was probably wishing she was a banking executive lawyer again, because running for Senate was not kind to her. In an interview with the Kansas City Star, Carnahan made reference to our dependence on foreign oil: “We’re swapping depending on foreign oil with dependence on Chinese-made wind turbans (sic) and solar cells,” she said. Um, Ms. Carnahan – | Read More »
Hayworth, Brewer running weak in the General?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 7th at 03:01 PM |
Daily Kos and Research 2000 looked back to Arizona. It’s a reasonably comprehensive poll, carpetbombing the general elections for Governor and Senate, as well as looking at the Republican primary for Senate. Let’s unpack it.

Carly Fiorina rakes in the pro-life endorsements
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 4th at 02:00 PM |
First Susan B. Anthony’s list endorsed Carly Fiorina in the Republican Senate primary here in California, and now via Flash Report we find that the California Pro-Life Council, the California affiliate of National Right to Life, has joined in endorsing Fiorina. This comes after she snagged Tom Coburn’s support. Clearly, behind closed doors she’s convincing people. At this point I’d love to be able to | Read More »

Tim Burns consolidates his lead
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 3rd at 11:28 PM |
It’s late in the day but I know this race is drawing plenty of interest, so here goes. Daily Kos and Research 2000 hit the PA-12 Special Election. This makes two consecutive polls from sources that lean toward the Democrats. But do Republicans have reason to complain?
After Refusing to Sign Party Pledge, GA GOP Hopeful to Run as Independent
By: James Richardson (Diary) | April 27th at 04:12 PM |
Georgia real estate mogul Ray Boyd announced Monday he would run for governor of the Peach State as an Independent, pledging to spend $2 million of his own money on the race. Boyd, who for weeks had been flirting with a Republican bid but encountered opposition from state party leaders after refusing last week to sign a GOP loyalty oath, has little more than two | Read More »
Time for change – in both Washingtons
By: Chris Widener (Diary) | March 25th at 04:03 PM |
This year, Americans will have an historic opportunity to “break up” with the Washington insiders and career politicians who have wrested control of our government and hijacked our institutions and democratic processes.One such figure is Sen. Patty Murray, the fourth-ranking member of Democrat leadership in the Senate. Sen. Murray was first elected to the Senate by the good people of my state, Washington, back in | Read More »
Fight and Win, Politically.
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | March 21st at 04:00 PM |
There are those on the right who now believe that the passage of Obamacare is inevitable. I don’t know; I don’t think public whip counts are worth the pixels they’re printed on. But I also know that elections have consequences, and up to now it’s been remarkable just how much a complete failure President Obama has been in achieving his platform. It won’t surprise me | Read More »
California Republican Assembly endorses Chuck DeVore
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | March 7th at 10:53 PM |
The California Republican Assembly, a 75 year old conservative group in this state, endorsed Chuck DeVore for Senate today with over 75% support on the first ballot. “CRA must keep working and producing solid conservative candidates for office at all levels of government, and I hope that my fellow Californians will join the CRA team and get involved with a local chapter.” Ronald Reagan said | Read More »

So Robin, tell us what part of Obamanomics you don’t like…
By: Bill S (Diary) | February 5th at 02:00 PM |
Following now-Senator Scott Brown’s supermajority-busting win of TedKennedy’sSeat™ in Massachusetts, the Democrat rats are quickly leaping from the Obama sinking ship. The latest “run away” moment comes on the heels of the Obama FY2011 budget proposal. Unsurprisingly, the POTUS continues his trillion dollar deficit extravaganza, even after his laughable attempt to feign fiscal responsibility by recommending a so-called “spending freeze.” as part of his proposal.

Pro-Life Hero: The Real Kelly Ayotte
By: Swamp_Yankee (Diary) | December 21st at 05:52 PM |
Good post from Swamp Yankee in favor of Kelly Ayotte. — Erick Perhaps the most important Supreme Court decision regarding abortion in recent years was Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. Yes, that Ayotte, Kelly Ayotte. Another time, a more detailed diary on the legal merits of that case may be warranted, but a quick summary should suffice for now. At issue in | Read More »
