From Big Government:
A meeting of former Clintonistas and senior Democrat political operatives to coordinate a push-back to the burgeoning tea party movement. Consider it a Democrat party relief effort.
When tea party, 9/12 and townhall protests and rallies first erupted on the national scene, they were derided by national politicos as astroturf or a small fringe [...]

When she was a newly minted House Minority leader, Nancy Pelosi hired an adveritising/marketing agency to get their advice on the best way to regain the majority. The advice as she relayed it was to oppose the Bush agenda lock, stock and barrell, in essence to become the party of no. After spending an hour [...]

Yesterday President Obama unveiled his budget for fiscal year 2011 and it comes in at a whopping $3.8 trillion, running a deficit of $ 1.6 trillion. For those of you keeping score at home, this deficit is the largest in our nation’s history, beating the previous record of $1.4 trillion set just last year. President [...]

Rumored to be extinct since 1994, the almost mythical Reagan Democrat reappeared in Massachusetts of all places. Scott Brown’s victory should be sobering news for any Democrat facing voters this November.
The AFL-CIO found that:
“A poll conducted on behalf of the AFL-CIO found that 49% of Massachusetts union households supported Mr. Brown in Tuesday’s voting, while [...]

Sir, you did the best you could, but now it’s time to step aside and give someone else a shot. Your colleagues chose you as Senate minority leader because you know the arcane rules of the US Senate backwards and forwards. Your skill set would be helpful and possibly decisive if the republican caucus consisted [...]

From the Washington Post:
“Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.
“We’re there,” said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the [...]
