The race for the US Senate remains painfully close, largely due to a system that continues to give people living in the least-populous states the most power. The Democratic Caucus has 51 members, with 47 Democrats and four independents caucusing with...

I absolutely love Elizabeth Warren. She was my number one from the beginning but unfortunately, a woman at the top of the ticket was not in the cards this election. As soon as it became apparent that either Biden or Sanders was going to win, and then...

Interesting to see “Warren or Harris” trending on Twitter early this morning. As everyone knows, Joe said he’s pick a woman. Kamala Harris got the question, and I thought her answer was excellent. Today she said: "I'd be honored to serve with Joe."...

Markos says he’s heard Amy Klobuchar is at the top of the veep list for Biden. Please no. I really liked Amy, (present tense, also), but I don’t think she has the gravitas to back up Joe. Yes, as Markos says below, she would be another Tim Kaine… a...
