Let me point out that if the state or local science curriculum is revamped to include non-biological crap, universities will have to consider whether to accept those students’ biology credits. That was one […]

Bill Brady is horribly confused about the Catholic take on evolution as witnessed on Jim Leach’s show (please get streaming audio there Jim) ?I think we should teach the Bible in our schools,?

David Sirota imagines himself the next great strategist of the Democratic Party and he points to his work for Montana Governor Brian Schwietzer as his masterpiece while attacking Rahm Emanual for not having clear positions on issues Out here in Red America, we live in a place seemingly unknown to people like this in Washington: […]

Rahm’s profile covers the DCCC’s resurgence and the growing of a backbone by the Party. The key to the article is right here: This year, Emanuel’s fund-raising for congressional candidates has been no less impressive. Through September, the DCCC had raised a record-breaking $32 million, much of it slated to support the most vulnerable Democrats […]

No problem paying for cheap Costa Rican Hookers… No problem turning a public office into a political cash machine leading to the death of an innocent family… Big problem when one suggests you are in the tank with the Federal Prosecutors

David comes in with a good starting quarter–making it more important is that Leach doesn’t take money from outside the district and runs low cost campaigns. Raised: 48760.52 Spent: 905.39 On-Hand: 51820 It’s a very good first quarter for a guy who doesn’t have lots of big support, but at least has people paying attention. […]

Okay, someone made me happy this cycle (actually I’m okay with Pavich’s numbers, but even they’d like to have done better) John Sullivan beats Lipinski’s take by almost $22,000 Raised:52780 Spent:4347 On-Hand: 48497 And he’s didn’t spend much–making me a very happy person. The quarter is great. John needs to build on it and using […]

Raised: 52127 Spent: 46615 On-Hand:48972 Sigh..okay, On hand is supposed to increase more than just a little this far out.

Raised:283865 Spent:103880 On-Hand: 549997 Those are incumbent numbers even though his numbers are lower than last cycle. Again, just a slower quarter in general and Roskam has had to do more getting to know the people he doesn’t currently represent, but he still raised a lot of cash. The only disadvantage of no primary challenger […]
