Point: If you’re in the top 4% whose net worth went up 14% while everyone else’s went down 36%, you didn’t earn it. You stole it. — David Atkins (@DavidOAtkins) July 26, 2014 Counter-poin...

No doubt much to the disappointment of people looking and hoping for a bloody internal fight over the district, the NRCC is playing it straight: “Eric Cantor has been a steadfast leader for o...

In 2010, Ann Kirkpatrick was a key vote for Obamacare. This is a thing that happened. It, in fact, cost her the 2010 election. Freshman Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) will vote for the healthca...

The NRCC went ahead and created a useful list called the “7 Most Ridiculous Things Kathleen Sebelius Said At Today’s Hearing:” there were more than seven, of course, but these were particul...

This would be what we call in this business a hint. Republicans are eyeing congressional swing districts President Barack Obama narrowly won last year for signs that the unpopularity of Obamacare...

Don’t forget, folks: it’s not just the Presidency. We have House and Senate races to attend to, too. This came out a few days ago, but the NRCC‘s point has obviously not become less relev...

Good news for the NRCC, of course – but it’s also kind of anticlimactic, at this stage of the game. The DCCC was ahead last month, the NRCC was ahead the month before that… I kind of expe...

This is one of the NRCC‘s harsher web ads… if you define ‘harsh’ as ‘true.’ Something to remember, folks: if you think that campaigning on behalf of Republicans who may or may have no...

Cute bit of political theater, here. The short version is, House Minority Leader John Boehner brought the GOP caucus together and shook ’em until three million dollars fell out; coupled with ...

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Republicans have found candidates to run in 430 of 435 districts this fall, a total that tops the party’s previous high of 427, which was set in 1996. In 2006, there were 422 De...
