EW Budig of ECM whitewashes the Michele Bachmann story
MN Progressive Project (Free subscription) | 10/29/2009
Eric Pusey called the other day and told me not to put words like ******** and **** in my stories here. But when I read the piece on Michele Bachmann turned in by TW Budig of the ECM newspaper chain... It's as if Budig did a piece on Mussolini in 1922 and the theme was: "My, this hometown boy is certainly becoming a national figure, isn't he? Look at all the voters who showed up for that March...

An Update in New Jersey (10/22/09)
2008 Democratic Convention Watch (Free subscription) | 10/23/2009
Thursday was a busy day in the New Jersey governors race. Not only was it the day of the last debate between the three main contenders, but we were also treated to three new polls in the race*. The take-home message from those surveys? Corzine and Christie have deadlocked just below the 40% mark, and at least today, independent Chris Daggett has consolidated much of the rest. Across the three polls...

2008 Democratic Convention Watch (Free subscription) | 10/15/2009
The chatter around the New Jersey gubernatorial race this Tuesday three weeks before the election centered on whether independent Chris Daggett could actually win the election in the Garden state. 77% of the new Quinnipiac survey's respondents thought not, but that didn't keep the good folks at NBC News' First Read from wondering aloud about the possibility. Well, at the very least it didn't prevent...

Can Daggett Win in New Jersey?
Political Wire (Free subscription) | 10/14/2009
First Read notes that "11 years ago, almost to the day, a new poll came out in the Minnesota governor's race showing third party candidate, Jesse Ventura, sitting at 15%. At the time, just like here in New Jersey, all the buzz in Minnesota was about how Skip Humphrey and Norm Coleman were beating each other up, while the national climate, by the way, wasn't good for either party as we were in...

On Fits And Starts by digby The Politico has written a somewhat unenlightening article about Alan Grayson's floor speech, but I can't help but be a little bit tickled by a quote of his, which is also used in the headline of the piece. He said: “We cannot run this institution on the basis of Republican hissy fits. The title is "The pros and cons of hissy fits." I'm please by this because...

One of the very good local talk radio shows invited me to be on this morning to debate a "birther" on whether those who argue that Barack Obama is not a citizen, and therefore is ineligible to be President, should give it up. I do think they should give it up, but I haven't studied the issue closely and won't debate anything I haven't studied, so I declined the invitation. It did get me...
