Like GOP, Democrats Fail to Pass Spending Bills on Time

Filed under Politics

When ushering in a Democratic Congressional majority, voters wanted action. They wanted things done. But just like the Republicans who previously controlled the House and the Senate basic things like passing spending bills haven’t been accomplished.

Newt’s Not Running

Newt Gingrich says he won’t feel out a possible run for President because, in his spokesman’s words, “It is legally impermissible for him to continue on as chairman of American Solutions (for Winning the Future) and to explore a campaign for president.” Okay. That’s a legalese way out of it. I think he wasn’t planning […]

Don’t Hire This Guy as a History Professor

Top-tier Republican candidates (including my guy) have taken heat for not attending PBS’s All-American Presidential Forum which targeted African-American voters.
The Des Moines Register’s David Yepsen, the guru of Iowa political reporters, takes a swing. Only he wiffs with his historical nugget. Yepsen writes (emphasis mine),
Maybe the demoralized GOP has some sort of death […]

Larry Craig Changes Mind; Will Remain in Senate

Filed under Politics

Dear Sen. Craig,
Give it up. You’re putting your ego and desire to stay in office above the embarrassment you put your family, party, and constituents through. You’re a joke. Give up your Senate seat like you said you would and go home.
“Craig Remains in Office, for Now”

Edwards on MySpace

As an eCampaigner I have to keep an eye on what new wizbang techniques other campaigns are using. So I’m stuck watching John Edwards on the MTV/MySpace “Choose or Lose” wannabe “Presidential dialogue.” I rarely liveblog anything, but since I have to endure watching Edwards and his hair I’ll make you suffer too.
