All the Presidential candidates have at least one.  Even Stephen Colbert had one when he ran for “President of South Carolina” (perhaps he had his year wrong – SC seceded from the Union on December 17 and was not joined until January 10 by another Confederate state.  That would make the Governor of South Carolina [...]

It looks like Joe Miller’s lead against the incumbent Lisa Murkowski will hold in yet another, and arguably, the most surprising upset of 2010 so far. While there are an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 absentee ballots sent out the Murkowski campaign did not make any concerted effort to generate absentee votes and the  outstanding ballots are not all Republican ballots. So how did this happen? The pollsters and analysts all had predicted an easy victory for the incumbent. Well as in any of these “perfect storm” scenarios, the reasons were multifaceted.

I am going to give you some straight dope.  From the gut.  It’s about November and what’s at stake. You may live in an area where you have to vote Democrat to have any say.  There are still lots of areas like that all over Texas and all over the otherwise conservative South and up into Virginia.  And because of that, you may as a natural conservative have a view of the Democrats locally or in your district that’s somewhat benign.  Sure, Obama and Pelosi are awful, but my local guy, he ain’t so bad.  That’s what you may tell yourself. But. If your legislative goals and priorities include a business-friendly economic environment, clean elections, educational choice, excellence in public education, fixing the financial problems at big state agencies…

It’s kind of a shocker for political groupies, news that a popular and not-in-any-way-endangered Democratic incumbent has decided to leave Congress.

Robert Wexler, a staunch liberal voice from Boca Raton, railed against Republicans who impeached President Clinton and fought for a paper-verification of all ballots after Florida’s flawed (remember hanging chads?) election in 2000. During last year’s election, he was an early and avid supporter of Barack Obama despite strong support for Hillary Clinton in his district. Trying to deflect talk in January that he might be rewarded with an appointment in the new administration, Wexler said, “I have a dream job, a job I love.
