Could None of These win in Illinois?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 18th at 03:11 PM |
Elections in Nevada give the voter the choice to vote for “None of These” candidates listed. Every poll I see of the Illinois Senate race suggests to me that if Illinois put that option on the ballot, None of These would win. The next bit of evidence for the pile: PPP’s latest poll of the race.

By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 17th at 09:08 PM |
We continue now from Part I and Part II of the series. InsideGoogle.com has the emails between Andrew McLaughlin and his contacts in Google, all the while serving as Deputy White House CTO, in a 3 PDF set, and I’m now starting on the second file.

Progressive split on the Oregon Trail
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 17th at 12:45 PM |
SurveyUSA polled the Oregon race for Governor and interesting enough, has it as a three way race. Featured are Republican Chris Dudley (6’11″ center out of Yale), Democrat John Kitzhaber, and Progressive Jerry Wilson. By the name of the third party I think we all know what’s going to happen.
Reading the FOIA releases of the Andrew McLaughlin Emails II
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 16th at 09:43 PM |
Continuing from Part I, we are reading the emails of White House Deputy CTO Andrew McLaughlin to see if he’s been acting inappropriately as an agent of Google from his job working for the people. Despite close cooperation with Google “evangelist” Vint Cerf, McLaughlin laughably claims on September 4 that “I keep a very strict line between myself and Google (and Googlers).” Clearly he only | Read More »

A tie in Maryland
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 16th at 07:01 PM |
The last time we looked in on Maryland, former governor and Republican Bob Ehrlich had taken his 7 point loss to incumbent Democrat Martin O’Malley, and narrowed the deficit to 6 and then to 3 in the polls. Now it’s all tied up.
Challenger crosses 50 in South Dakota House Race
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 16th at 04:03 PM |
South Dakota has only one House seat, so its House elections are full-fledged statewide affairs, and so we get a rare House poll to look at, from Rasmussen Reports.
Reading the FOIA releases of the Andrew McLaughlin Emails I
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 15th at 10:21 PM |
Via InsideGoogle.com I’ve come across the Andrew McLaughlin emails released via FOIA requests (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). I’d meant to make a 5 part series of my reading through them for signs that McLaughlin was inappropriately acting as an agent of Google from his job as White House CTO (which is an accusation that Darrell Issa is not letting drop quietly, internal | Read More »
Murray’s lead cut in half after the Rossi dust settles
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 15th at 12:10 PM |
The latest Washington Poll from the University of Washington is out, and now that the dust has settled around Dino Rossi’s entering the race, he’s still close to incumbent Patty Murray. In fact, her lead has been cut in half from last time.
Illinois update
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 11th at 01:02 PM |
I know some pollsters have rushed out to take a look at the primary states immediately after Tuesday’s elections, but we all know that those polls tend to have varying unity bounces. Rick Perry’s took a while in fact. So I’ll let those races simmer a bit and instead look at Illinois today, as Rasmussen polled the Governor and Senate races.
Law and Order: Google’s Intent
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 11th at 12:03 PM |
It’s been a while since we peeked in at Google’s doings. The proud champion of unprecedented FCC power grabs toward Net Neutrality regulation of the Internet (for which opposition is growing in the Senate) is still under fire for two broad breaches of the public’s trust: The Andrew McLaughlin lobbying from the White House, and the massive privacy breaches in the Street View program.

Haley looking to avoid runoff in today’s primary [Updated x 2]
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 8th at 11:00 AM |
PPP’s latest on the South Carolina Governor’s race doesn’t even cover the Democrats. The assumption must be that Vincent Sheheen has it wrapped up, I suppose. So, on to the Republican side, where Nikki Haley hopes to win an absolute majority and avoid a runoff.
Swingometer on the Rasmussen Generic Ballot
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 7th at 09:20 PM |
Rasmussen has a new generic ballot out, and that means it’s time to see how the Swingometer projects the election to go based on that result.

Rasmussen updates on Sestak/Toomey
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 4th at 01:59 PM |
We’re in for the long haul in the Pennsylvania Senate race, because I honestly do expect this one to be in the toss-up range from now to Election Day, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get to check in on the polls obsessively the whole time looking for clues. Today: Rasmussen updates on the race.
We don’t even need ISP regulation
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 4th at 01:30 AM |
I’ve talked quite a bit how net neutrality is a big scam, and how it’s just a ruse to censor the Internet according to the desires of neo-Marxists like those at Free Press. But there’s another, more basic reason, to join the majority of the House (including 171 Republicans) in opposing the runaway FCC: People are happy with their ISPs, both landline and wireless.
