In today's Washington Post, Chris Cillizza, who writes the paper's political blog, had this to say:
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour's (R) repeated refusal to say that Sarah Palin is "qualified" to be president of the United States during an interview Thursday night with "Hardball" host Chris Matthews is [...]
While there is much to criticize in Gov. Barbour's budget proposals, and much to applaud, the challenge for Democrats is to come up with an alternative. There is no question but that the state is facing huge financial shortfalls, and doing nothing but complaining about the governor's budget will not [...]
The Clarion-Ledger ran a headline on today's front page about last week's decision by seven Simpson County local officials to switch to the Republican Party. The headline: "Party Swaps Problem for Dems." Now really. All of these politicians are from the home county of Brad White, the state party chairman. [...]
Well, the big loser last night was the pollsters. They had NJ too close to call. They had the conservative (only later adopted by the GOP) candidate winning in NY-23. And they had the pro-gay marriage side of the referendum in Maine slightly ahead. NJ was a blowout for the [...]
I recognize the job is already taken, but it sure would be a lot of fun to manage the campaign against Alan Nunnelee. The latest opportunity to have some fun is the designation by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) that Nunnelee has joined the "Young Guns" club. I mean, really. First these [...]
We've got 'em on our side just like the right has them on their side. The crazies on the left were not a happy bunch when Reagan and Gorbachev signed a nuclear arms control agreement in 1987 or when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down two years later or when America, [...]
Turns out, as Andy had hoped, it appears that President Obama indeed got some bad advice. From everything I've read, the current leadership of the U.S. Olympic Committee leaves much to be desired. They apparently didn't do their jobs and, in addition, gave the President and the First Lady some real [...]
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann just released his report of the 2009 municipal elections. It was featured on the front page of today's Perspective Section. Part of the report dealt with voting problems identified by Hosemann's staff who had served as election observers throughout the state. I went to Hosemann's' [...]
Lloyd Gray had, as always, a well written take on the Dave Dennis campaign for Governor. In particular, he remembers the GOP primary back in 1991, when Kirk Fordice, the businessman, surprised everyone by defeating Pete Johnson, the handpicked candidate to oppose Mabus that year. The parallels exist at the [...]
Another weekend, another tea party, and another round of media coverage of party goers with signs comparing Obama to Hitler and health care reform to Nazi Germany. I say more power to 'em. I hope these folks keep it up. This is all good for us. In the same way' [...]
For a partisan on the playing field of national politics, there is just no substitute for having one of your own in the White House. And especially when the President makes a trip down Pennsylvania Avenue to address a joint session of Congress. And especially when the President is as articulate [...]
