Liz Carter Comes to Washington, D.C.

What an amazing coincidence that I just happened to run into the Georgia 4th District congressional candidate: The Democratic incumbent, Hank Johnson, is notorious for having said that overpopulation could cause the island of Guam to tip over and capsize. He’s also been ineffective in representing the suburban Atlanta district. Liz Carter was endorsed last […]

GA-9: Special Election Today!

Jumping in Pools reminds us of news down home: Georgia’s 9th congressional district is holding their special election to replace Congressman Nathan Deal this afternoon.

PA-12: Democrats Panicking Over Impending Onslaught of AOSHQ Morons

Did somebody say “panic“? If Nancy Pelosi wasn’t already freaked out by that NRCC internal poll showing that most Democrats in the 12th District don’t even know when the election is, wait until she learns that Tim Burns just received the coveted Ace of Spades Seal of Approval. UPDATE: Life is good: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is […]

PA12: Tim Burns Debates Pelosi’s BFF

Pennsylvania Republican Tim Burns hammered Democrat Mark Critz in last night’s 12th District debate: “Nancy Pelosi’s not trying so hard to get him elected because he’s a nice guy.” That’s from my buddy Chris Renner, who adds: Critz is not going down without a fight, and the national Democrats are pulling out all the stops […]

PA-12: Calling All Tea Party People! Volunteers Needed in Pennsylvania

Just got off the phone with Angela Lash of the Tim Burns for Congress campaign and she says they’ve already got teams of volunteers coming in from Virginia, Maryland and Ohio. But it looks like they’ll need all the help they can get because — with less than two weeks to go before the May 18 […]

Election 2010: Senate Primaries in Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina
