Timothy McNulty | November 6, 2009 Pat Toomey takes a subtle dig at Arlen Specter in the Post-Gazette today -- by not mentioning him at all. Toomey writes an op-ed in today's PG critcizing cap-and-trade legislation approved by a Senate committee yesterday, saying it will hurt Pa's coal, gas and manufacturing industries. Specter cast a vote in favor of the procedural motion, but Toomey doesn't even...

More right wing gutter politics again. This time it comes from Pennsylvania. I came across this latest campaign, with the "O" in Obama with the hammer and sickle emblem, on Pennsylvania blog Gort42. This isn't the first time the state's GOP has used this line of reasoning to try to scare people into supporting their candidate, which happens to be Joan Orie Melvin from Pittsburgh, who also...

? CO-Sen : Here's an amateur-level mistake from the Bennet campaign: electioneering in the Denver public schools (where Michael Bennet used to be Supernintendo before being appointed Senator). The campaign sent mailings to a school asking for the principal's support and fliers were given to principals at a district workshop. ? FL-Sen : The Kendrick Meek campaign is touting its own fishy poll that says...

If the climate of the world is changing because of man-made pollution -- a thesis supported by a majority of the global scientific community -- then a sense of urgency is essential if something is to be done before it's too late. Unfortunately, a sense of urgency still seems to be missing. To be sure, fine words are spoken, as they were when President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao pledged...
