© Jimmy Margulies Or as Palin puts it, she is “weighing a run” — anchors a-weigh! A former Palin insider explains why she runs. UPDATE: Sarah Palin gets basic civics information terribly wrong. One gets the feeling that she and reality are not good friends. Did she quit social studies class in school half way […]
© John Darkow Senate Republicans had to put up or shut up as Democrats brought the Republican budget proposal to the floor for a vote. The measure was defeated, but five Republicans voted against it — four because the proposed changes to Medicare went too far, and one because it didn’t go far enough. Expect […]
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 […]

Republicans have made it clear that they will be opposed to anything and anyone supported by Obama and the Democrats, even if they were previously in favor of that thing. But the New York Times has an interesting report on how the Democrats are causing this to backfire. The strategy is simple — heap praise […]
In the last few days, a few Republican presidential candidates have broken with party orthodoxy in order to state what would seem to be obvious truths. For example, in an interview with Time magazine, Jon Huntsman said: I’m not a meteorologist. All I know is 90 percent of the scientists say climate change is occurring. […]

Many states have already had votes to reform our “winner take all” voting system for elections (also called “first past the post“) into “instant runoff” (also called “alternative vote” or “preferential voting”). Some countries and even some local governments in the US already use instant runoff voting. Afraid to vote for third party candidates? Feel […]
