Tuesday there was a special election in New York to fill the seat of Representative Christopher Lee, who resigned after posting compromising photographs of himself on the web. The district is heavily Republican (+6), and yet the Democratic candidate came from behind and won. How did that happen? Some people will claim that it was […]

© Clay Bennett Hopefully, Sarah Palin will have the sense to play the kingmaker role rather than running. Even with the dearth of viable Republican candidates, I think everyone knows it would only get worse if she ran. UPDATE: A sign that Palin still thinks she has a chance?

[reposted from Margaret and Helen] Margaret, I wish Harold could have lived to see this day. As a veteran, he was always hopeful that we would one day get Bin Laden. He would have been very proud and then he would have been pissed. Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would […]
