O’Connor: Can the Clintons save Obama and the planet?

Posted on January 16th, 2010

Colleen O”Connor, in her piece for the SDNN, says that:  “Obama has lost the trust of the majority of Americans.”  This perception has been spreading month by month and it is graphically depicted in the trend line of Rasmussen Reports Presidential Approval charts. Craig Edwards and I have been talking about this for months on our [...]

Tuesday Night Lights

Posted on December 10th, 2009

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MTc2NDEyNWNmZmMyMmI5NzAyYmQ2YzQ2NDRmM2Q1ZTU= By: Robert Costa If you call your shot, you’d better make it. Like a sports movie, the health-care debate has been stuffed with platitudes. The most nauseating have come from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), who chatters endlessly about “making history” to his colleagues. It’s getting old. Reid may fancy himself a [...]

Economics of discontent

Posted on November 20th, 2009

http://www.politico.com/huddle/1109/huddle420.html By: MARTIN KADY II The health care debate has sucked so much oxygen out of the Capitol’s chambers that it’s been easy to miss another simmering story: Democratic fears about the economy. Well that pot finally boiled over Thursday, with black caucus members walking out of a Barney Frank financial markup, liberals and conservatives [...]

Three of a Kind

Posted on November 18th, 2009

By: GLENN THRUSH Forget about passing the entire health care reform bill by Christmas for the moment. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is having an incredibly hard time wrangling enough votes to surmount the easiest procedural hurdle on health care reform – a vanilla motion required to start debate on the floor this week. [...]

Has the Democratic Party Just Committed Suicide?

Posted on November 8th, 2009

Posted on November 4th, 2009

By JONATHAN KARL Senior Congressional Democrats say reform before end of year is highly unlikely.

Reid’s Office Clarifies Health Goal

Posted on November 3rd, 2009

It just struck me as I was reading the headlines at Politico how ridiculous and irrelevant Harry Reid has just become. With tonight’s election results, who gives a you-know-what about what Harry Reid thinks about anything, much less the now deader than dead MEDICUS MAXIMUS bill? ~~John Cronin~~ Reid’s office is clarifying his remarks that [...]

Revolt in New York

Posted on November 2nd, 2009

Beltway bigs misjudged public dismay against the Democratic agenda in Washington. Saturday’s decision by Republican Dede Scozzafava to drop out of tomorrow’s special Congressional election in upstate New York is a potentially big political moment that could help to return the GOP to first principles—or could lead to internecine ruin. Much will depend on how [...]
