The California gubernatorial race should be an interesting one next year. It appears that Republicans will have at least three good nominees to choose from in Tom Campbell, Meg Whitman and Chuck DeVore. What will the Democrats offer to voters? Jerry “Gov. Moonbeam” Brown. Yesterday, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom dropped out of the race, […]
Newt Gingrich needs to do a serious mea culpa. For those of you who haven’t been following the 23rd Congressional District in New York race, here’s a quick recap.

But then, you knew that already. Senate Majority Leader Harry “I took one too many punches to the noggin’” Reid on those opposed to Obamacare: Town hall protesters are "evil-mongers," says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)

Yesterday, Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri held a town hall event. Unfortunately, Rep. Carnahan didn’t really want to hear what the public had to say. Instead of opening the front doors to let those waiting to attend in, they snuck SEIU union members in the side door in a successful move to stack the […]
So, David Brooks goes on MSNBC yesterday and says that a he sat next to a GOP Senator at a dinner party and... (via Newsbusters) DAVID BROOKS, NEW YORK TIMES: You know, all three of us spend a lot of time covering politicians and I don't know about you guys, but in my view, they're […]
