The slumping economy apparently hasn’t hit the business of politics. Federal Election Commission reports filed this week show major party candidates in three area House races — and the U.S. Senate contest in Kansas — talked donors out of almost $4 million since April Fools’ Day.

I’ve seen this commercial at least four times a day. Don’t commercials cost money? Where is this money coming from? Are all those “just plain folks” Senator Pat Roberts, Republican from Kansas, claims he works for shelling out hundred dollar bills so he can run against a high paid lobbyist who isn’t even campaigning yet. Where are Jim Slattery’s commercials? If he makes so much money lobbying, why...

Jim Slattery , who I got to meet briefly at Netroots Nation, is a great guy, a great candidate, and now has a great ad up on Kansas TV stations making a simple case: Pat Roberts has been in DC for too long. It's time for a change. Read the comments on this post...

Sen. Barack Obama's substantive positions are what have the liberal nation in an uproar, not that he's refining his positions. After all, if he had changed his stance on Iraq to getting out even faster, we wouldn't be hearing any clamor.

It's been a productive couple of days. I've enjoyed talking to Martin Heinrich (running in NM-01) and Alan Grayson (running in FL-08). I had breakfast with Jim Slattery (running for Pat Roberts' senate seat from Kansas) and dinner with Sam Bennett (running in PA-15). And I had a ninety-minute private sit-down with Mark Begich (running for Ted 'Hulk Tie' Stevens' senate seat from Alaska). I'll be writing...

Putting some red herrings to rest, in a pan with hot oil Re-reading some of David Price’s online articles about the militarization of social science research has been rewarding for the important insights and questions he raises (see Counterpunch 2005/05/12, 2005/05/22, 2008/06/24). Anyone who doubts that there is a “national security state” at work in bending [...]

There are those who might argue that former Democratic Congressman Jim Slattery has no shot of taking down incumbent Republican Senator Pat Roberts out in Kansas, a state that hasn't sent a Democrat to the United States Senate in more than 70 years. But among those in the group who think that this race already has the real potential to be competitive is an interesting name: Pat Roberts. Here's Roberts'...

Kansas Senator Pat Roberts, he of the misleading Iraq intelligence reports, has understandably proven a tempting target for the liberal netroots during this election cycle. His opponent, former Kansas Rep and neo-blue dog Dem Jim Slattery, has been piling up donations at NetBlue and praise at sites like DailyKos, despite the fact that he [...]

No wild fans of Kansas Democratic Senate candidate Jim Slattery around here; don't look for him on the Blue America endorsement page , even if each of us hopes he beats craven and useless incumbent, Bush rubber stamp Pat Roberts. And speaking of craven... Roberts must be plenty worried about this race because he's already launched a costly negative ad campaign slamming Slattery as a lobbyist. And Slattery...
