I live about a mile outside of Wynn's District (MD-4) (In MD-08, Chris Van Hollen(D)) and will likely be working as an election judge for the Special Election when they hold it.
Therefore, some of $1 Million dollars that the State of Maryland will be spending will likely end up in my pocket. What should I do with it?
Can anyone come up with a previous example of success in what Senator Lieberman is preparing to do if he loses his primary?
By this, I'm looking for an incumbent senator losing their party primary and running as an independent and winning in the General Election. I know that Senator Javits is sort of an example of it NOT working (He lost the Republican Primary and ran in the General on the Liberal line) but New York's electoral fusion isn't typical.
I've seen a lot of great writeups on interesting races and opportunities for the Democratic Party for 2006. 50 or more races in the house, at least 10 in the Senate and a good number of the Gubenatorial races. But it does seem occasionally that a few states get left out.
Those states seem to those where the Democrats either have no chance (few enough in these days of Bush's horrible ratings) or are not expected to lose any seats or are expected to gain without much help from us in the blogosphere. But what is the most boring state...
There are two different ways of looking at the possible Republican nominee in 2008. The first is to see who the possible Candidate is that you can most live with. For example in 1992, most Democrats would definitely said that they would rather live with GHWB as opposed to Pat Buchanan.
However, the other possible way is "Which candidate do I think would do worst against a likely Democratic Presidential Nominee?" But that standard Buchanan would have been a much better Republican Nominee for Democrats who wanted to win the presidency (The results of a Dukakis-Buchanan race would be interesting)
Which of the possible Republican Candidates do we as Democrats want as the Republican Nominee in 2008. By this, I'm looking for who would be most likely to lose to a Democratic Candidate of your choice.
According to several ness sources, "Even if he [Keyes] loses, he says he is staying right here in Illinois to rescue republican voters from their "corrupt" party leaders.
Keyes staying in Illinois should help keep the pot bubbling inside the Illinois Republican Party, keeping them from focusing on the Moderates. Also, it means that we in the DC suburbs where he lives don't have to listen to him any more!
The Illinois Leader, the home of all coverage in illinois favorable to Alan Keyes (Because no one else in the state things there is any) has a laugh out loud deliberately funny webpoll on the first radio debate between Keyes and Obama. As of right now you can vote at http://www.illinoisleader.com and if they've changed to a different webpoll, you can still see the results of this one at http://www.illinoisleader.com/poll/pollview.asp?p=236 .
One of the choices on what will happen in the first debate
"Alan Keyes will reveal that not only is Jesus Christ not going to vote for Obama but that Christ has also decided to intervene on Keyes' behalf"
Its funny, I've seen on two separate newsstories about the 1000 KIA in Iraq that there have been soldiers killed from every state except Alaska. It seems to strike the reporters as odd.
The last I had heard, in the state of Illinois, there was a chance that George Bush wasn't going to be on the ballot in Illinois because the RNC will cause the Republicans to be 3 or 4 days too late in approving their candidate to have the candidate on the ballot in Illinois. Did that ever get worked out?
What states have the Fairest redistricting process. I mean this from a non-partisan standpoint, I live in Maryland, which redistricted itself from 4R-4D to 6D-2R (and some good breaks), but I don't consider their redistricting setup fair even though I am a democrat. I've heard good things about Iowa's redistricting setup, is that something that can be duplicated elsewhere?
In this dream Kerry won all of the Gore States + Tennessee, just enough to put him over the top. The following morning, Gore threw himself under a bus.
For all of the angst we have had here about Mrs. Kerry telling the reporter to shove off, there is exactly one hit in news.google.com about it and that is from the CBS Early Show who mentioned it in an interview of Hillary Clinton. (asked Hillary about advice for Mrs. Kerry). The issue is dead...
Given Bill Cosby's recent strong statements in regards to the future of the Black Community , is there any chance of him being selected as Kerry's running mate? He is from Pennsylvania and would seem to be likely to bring out the African American vote in strong numbers without being too threatening to the Whites.
Any problems with this idea? (just number them as you go. :)
I noticed going through the most recent Washington Post Poll. In the two person race, Bush is up by 2 points among men and down by 18 among women for a difference of 20 points. (The gap is 18 points in the three way)
Since the media first identified a "gender gap" (1980 election), no presidential election has had a gender gap large than 10 points...
Is this large gender gap a good thing? Can we get the men just as disgusted as the women?
OK, I'll admit that maybe I'm not paranoid enough. But does anyone have any ideas on what it would take for Roy Moore to actually toss his hat into the ring for President of the United States?
