Kentucky Democrats are abuzz over their party’s chances to grab Sen. Jim Bunning’s seat next year.
“Bunning is widely considered the most vulnerable incumbent of the cycle,” wrote John McArdle in Roll Call.
The Kentucky senate race will doubtless attract national attention next year. It’s big news when a Republican senator seems to be in big trouble [...]

How wonderful it is to have a president in the White House that appreciates culture:
It is a jam, not a slam. President Barack Obama and his cabinet colleagues were today preparing for the first White House poetry party.

We’ve got idiots plotting mass killing and assassination sprees. We’ve got morons creating hoaxes to scare people. We have people doing evil and disgusting things to get their [...]

I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

Everyone’s still talking about the “lipstick on a pig,” and Hillary Clinton jumped into the mix today to add her two cents:
“Barack has made this clear,” she said responding to a question about the lipstick remark, which Republicans have condemned as a “disgraceful” and “sexist” attack on Palin. “It was no way meant as an [...]

A quick note on Michelle Obama’s speech… I thought it was awesome. I was incredibly impressed. She’s grown a lot on the campaign trail. Tonight’s from Michelle Obama speech was honest, from the heart and very moving. It was a great follow up to the tribute to Ted Kennedy and Kennedy’s “triumphant appearance” and speech.

Watch the primary results tonight and see Hillary Clinton bury Senator Obama in one state while he merely wins in another. Never give up!
This fight is not over. The pundits and portions of the party elite want Hillary Clinton to actually give up. They want her to surrender! They want her embarassed and humiliated. I’ve [...]
