Said lunatic fundraising emails always – especially when the GOP comes up – remind me of a joke I heard once: So once in Czarist Russia there was this poor Jewish peasant who lived in a rur...
If this is really the conventional wisdom about who’ll be the next DCCC chair: “After a nationwide thumping that leaves them with their smallest House minority in over 80 years, Democratic le...
I read stories like this, and the title is my reaction. Where was the money that Nancy Pelosi was given already? House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told colleagues on Tuesday that Democrats have ...
Oh, there’s a certain reputation that clings to the Democrats about their willingness to let dead people vote, but that’s a different power dynamic entirely. This is something else: Democrati...
It’s the bolded part that fascinates: Three weeks out from an election that could give Republicans an historic majority, House Democrats are resorting to the painful strategy of retreat. Faced ...

Oh, sure, the DCCC is going to put a nice face on it over there, because that’s what you do when you don’t have the money or the votes. But it’s the wrong cycle for a pickup and the Democ...

Indirectly, to be sure: but nobody sensible to expect plain talking from Barack Obama anyway. At the heart of this stunning revelation is this bit from the Hill: “Do not buy into this notion ...
