Cute kid, and his point is well made, but stunts like this always make me uncomfortable. Embedded video from CNN Video I just don’t like this sort of emotional politics. It’s not quite as bad as the Democrats all but digging up Ted Kennedy out of his grave and dragging him to the House floor, but I’d rather they leave the infants at home.

Nancy Pelosi had hoped to bring the legislation to the floor today, but that's not going to happen. It appears the caucus is down about 10 votes, which is about 5% and way to high. As we mentioned yesterday, there will be no 676 vote. In addition, Anthony Weiner has dropped his insistence on a vote for any single payer system. Pair this with the fact that Harry Reid won't even look at a floor vote...

The buzz is all about Tancredo storming out because Markos pointed out that Tancredo got a medical deferment from Vietnam service (because of depression) while Markos served in the military. Everybody has that. I want you to watch the last minute, which is Shuster's comment. He's...

While we mourn the heartbreaking violence, we should honor the heroism of the soldiers and civilians who rushed to help their comrades.

I'm even more convinced now that she has signed her name to a brief restricting death penalty appeals , while claiming to be against the death penalty.

The more one digs into Tuesday’s election results, the worse they look for Democrats. Let’s start by reviewing once again the three high profile races: New York’s 23 rd Congressional District special election, and the gubernatorial in New Jersey and Virginia.

With regard to the case, there are also serious questions about whether the criminal justice system turned a blind eye to this rapist, due to corruption within the DA's office.
