As Losses Mount, GOP Begins Looking in the Mirror
As Losses Mount, GOP Begins Looking in the Mirror By Paul Kane Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, May 11, 2008; Page A13 Since losing 30 seats and their 12-year stranglehold on power in 2006, House Republicans have kept asking themselves the same question: Can it get any worse? On Tuesday, they may get another answer they won't like. With lots of help from Washington -- including more than $1.3 million in campaign cash and a last-minute visit by Vice President Cheney -- Mississippi Republicans are desperately trying to retain a congressional seat in one of the most reliably conservative districts in the nation. - snip - Rank-and-file Republicans say that would force a day of reckoning for their leadership. "When you connect three dots in anything, that's a bad thing. This connects the dots. At that point, everybody's got to come together and have a come-to-Jesus meeting," said Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), a retiring centrist who will help form a new advisory panel a

Source: Fossella To Seek Re-Election
2 hours ago · Despite calls for him to resign, it seems embattled Congressman Vito Fossella will be fighting to keep his seat on Capitol Hill in November. A high-ranking Republican source on Staten Island told NY1 Saturday that Fossella plans to run for re-election. It would be his sixth term. . . . . .

Exclusive report: British Soldiers need loans to eat, report reveals
3 hours ago · Sunday, 11 May 2008 A highly sensitive internal report into the state of the British Army has revealed that many soldiers are living in poverty.

Mo. Republicans to push voter ID measure in Legislature
4 hours ago · JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Map, News) - As quick as a camera flash, Republican lawmakers have resurrected a plan to require photo identification for voters. They will press to pass it this week, lest their political opportunity to do so disappears. With only five days remaining in the 2008 legislative session, Republicans who control the House, Senate and Governor's Mansion have come to realize that this may be their last, best chance to enact certain parts of their agenda.

May 10 · I wonder if Paul Krugman is aware that he is paraphrasing the talking points used by Paul Begala on CNN this week? Video included. “We cannot win with eggheads and African-Americans,” Begala warned, which got an animated rise out of Brazile, yielding laughter and applause from those in CNN’s studio. CNN host Campbell Brown chimed in, saying of Obama, “Why hasn’t he been able to yet?” Responded Brazile, “Do you think that Barack Obama would be leading in the pledged votes, the d

May 11 · Anyone who reads DU today knows the score. In our simplistic world, West Virginia has been a very naughty state and that is why Santa has filled its stocking with lumps of coal. Oregon, on the other hand, is the most supremely wonderful state in all the land. Why? Because Clinton is favored to win the West Virginia primary and Obama is favored to win the Oregon primary. And every other reason cited is a load of bullshit. I. Some things people may not know about West Virginia. As the

May 10 · Our “mainstream” news media has shown little or no interest in covering actual issues of importance to the American people during the current Presidential campaign season. As Jamison Foser of Media Matters : Through 17 debates this year, roughly 1,500 questions have been asked of the two parties’ presidential candidates. But only a small handful of questions have touched on the candidates’ views on executive power, the Constitution, torture, wiretapping, or other civil liberties concerns….

May 10 · As the Primary War rages on in the land of Democratica, the Republican nominee, John McCain, continues to speak his message into the wrong end of microphones across the nation, unabated and unchallenged. This state of affairs does not bode well for our party’s chances to capture the White House, along with an increased majority in the House and the Senate. Let’s not forget that the odds of McCain becoming our next president cannot possibly be over-estimated, given the advantages he enjoyed e

What Clinton's campaign is doing, not just in her own words, but in Bill's words, in the words of her surrogates on TV.... What they are doing is deliberately spreading anger among us, using racist code words on purpose.
