M uch has been written about the “pragmatic” platform of Virginia governor-elect Bob McDonnell. The common wisdom is true as far as it goes -- McDonnell ran on “kitchen table” issues that were of special concern to suburban voters -- but the media has paid too little attention to one of the election’s most important topics: transportation. McDonnell won the affluent suburban...

In You Will Support Abortions Under New Healthcare Bill I wrote about two passages in the Democrat's healthcare bill that encouraged your taxpayer money to be spent on aborting babies. But after Demcrats fought hard to prevent a vote on this issue, morality prevailed, and a group of Democrats voted with Republicans to successfully ban federal funds for abortion under the public health insurance option...

Back in 2001, conservative media figures were adamant . Democratic Party victories at the ballot boxes during the off-year elections had little national significance. Fox News contributor Dick Morris said at the time, "[I]f you have a Republican president, people are going to vote Democrat, and if you have a Democrat president, they're going to vote Republicans." Proffering further spin...

Chris Bowers at OpenLeft informs us of another Democrat who sought our money during the election, and now is turning his back on us and real health care reform. With a vote looming on Saturday night, the whip in the House for the health care bill remains very close. According to the whip count at The Hill, 43 Democrats are no, leaning no, or undecided. With 258 House Democrats, if every Republican...

I'm not all that big on the voting process, given the fact that the choices we have are so narrow and the people who run need to raise so much money. Voting is the least involvement (choose from amongst the very poor choices being offered by the wealthy oligarchy and go away for the next 4 years) and it is just not enough. But given the election results, there is already speculation about the 2012...

By John W. Lillpop While liberals like President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid plot the next three of four trillion dollar “reform” rip-off programs, scorers of millions of innocent Americans suffer in agony. This is so because, in their angst to pass health care reform and reward trial lawyers/donors in time for the next election cycle, lefties have overlooked a genuine constitutional...

Wall Street loves easy money. That’s what I conclude from today’s 200-point stock market rally, which started early and gathered force, pushing the Dow back over 10,000 at the close of trading. Oddly enough, stocks roared at yesterday’s opening by nearly 150 points, a response to the GOP sweep in New Jersey and Virginia. The government’s health-insurance takeover plan looks...

Since I got back from Maine yesterday, I've been thinking about a few topics- tactics for achieving LGBT marriage equality; how progressive allies organize and operated around elections this year; and where we go from here. This is a piece analyzing some of the successes and failures in operations around the election. I'll have another piece up later today with some broader thoughts on moving forward...

My syndicated column on the meaning of Maine here . Key points: They spent three years building an organization to push gay marriage in Maine. . . . They were awash in money, out-fundraising pro-marriage advocates by more than 50 percent. (Full disclosure: The National Organization for Marriage contributed $1.8 million to the Yes on One campaign -- or more than half the campaign budget.) Gay-marriage...

The teabaggers have set their sights on Florida. The state's GOP primary for U.S. Senate has all the ingredients for an ideological powder keg. It pits the sitting governor, Charlie Crist, who embraced President Barack Obama's spending plan, against a scrappy former state lawmaker, Marco Rubio, who's become a darling of the conservative movement. And it's all happening in the nation's biggest swing...

Sorry Charlie by digby It would appear that they don't want to get slapped with hot teabags: On the heels of the NY-23 special House election, in which Conservative Party insurgent Doug Hoffman overtook moderate GOP nominee Dede Scozzafava, only to lose to Democrat Bill Owens, NRSC chairman John Cornyn (R-TX) has announced that the GOP's national Senate committee will not be spending money in contested...

On Election Day this past Tuesday, the people of Maine voted to repeal gay marriage, 53 percent to 47 percent. Gay-marriage advocates are bitterly disappointed. They spent three years building an organization to push gay marriage in Maine. They had every major newspaper and most other media on their side, as well as the political establishment -- the governor, the attorney general, the head of the...

Iowa Governor Chet Culver's campaign started running its second television commercial yesterday: Like the commercial Culver ran last month , this ad emphasizes that the governor cut spending and his own salary in order to balance the state budget during this recession without raising taxes. I think the ad is well-crafted in terms of script and visuals, but like Bleeding Heartland users IowaVoter and...
