Is Palin eyeing the Senate?

I think so. Resigning as Governor in 2009 for a Presidential contest in 2012 didn’t make much sense to anyone. Resigning to run in a 2010 primary? Not so crazy. Everyone had the White House and 2012 in their sights when Sarah Palin surprisingly announced her resignation days ago, but I guess they didn’t look at Palin’s record. Sarah Palin became Governor through a primary challenge...

Remove the Filibuster from the Senate Rules

By David Swanson Trying to squeeze any sort of peace on earth out of our government in Washington has been a steep uphill climb for years. For the most part we no longer have representatives in Congress, because of the corruption of money, the weakness of the media, and the strength of parties. There are not 535 opinions on Capitol Hill on truly important matters, but 2. Our supposed representatives...

Why Is A White Supremacist Leading The Charge Against Sotomayor IN THE SENATE?

I was going to write a diary about this. But then I came across this clip from Rachel Maddow, from a show that I somehow had missed. It hits all the high points I had in mind, and I don't have to go searching through archives of the NY Times from the 1980s. Answer to the question I asked: Because that's the way the GOP wants it.

Rangel, NY Times Agree: Maloney Should Run For Senate If She Wants

With Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan) looking to challenge Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the 2010 Democratic Senate primary, much is being made of Maloney is doing so much to the dismay of the Obama administration. But Rep. Charles Rangel thinks President Obama should stay out of race—and the NY Times says the same in an editorial! President Obama called Rep. Steve Israel (D-Long Island) to...

Murkowski is in interior Alaska and communicating via satellite phone...

Rangel to Obama: Butt Out of Senate Race

Rep. Charles Rangel defended colleague Carolyn Maloney’s right to take on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and lashed out anew at President Obama for butting into New York’s Democratic primary. “I really cannot say anything negative about a senior member who wants to run and whose polls, at this point in time, appear to be in her favor,” [...]

Senate comes together … to wish Owen Johnson happy birthday

The dawning of Sen. Owen Johnson’s ninth decade brought the Senate together in smiles and applause today. “We did something together!,” said Sen. Eric Adams, after Dean Skelos rose to deliver the chamber’s best wishes. Skelos was careful to refer to Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins as just “senator,” and Malcolm Smith was careful to refer to himself [...]

Filibuster for single payer, Bernie!

I mean a real, old-fashioned filibuster, where they bring in the cots to the floor of the Senate. Broder does the math. With 60 votes, the Democrats can ... cut off any filibuster threat if they can muster all their members . With solid majorities in both houses, the Democratic leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, could dismiss Republican objections to any bill without a second thought. So all it...

Obama & Palin: Carpe Diem

In many ways, electoral politics is like any other career: you enter as a grunt and "pay your dues" for many years before you eventually have the chance at the big-fish posts. Leaders around the world have made their way in this manner, slowly gaining credibility inside and outside the political establishments within which they reside. Boxes need to be checked and experience accrued, with...

He’s squaresville squared. It’s like you’re having a party with your friends and he’s the cringe-making middle-aged parent who wants to show he digs where the young people...
