In the battle for Congress, 41 is the crucial number.
The story is mostly about what the republicans need to do to take back the House in the 2010 Mid-Term Elections. But going back to an earlier post where I said that Herseth-Sandlin’s vote was a political ploy to show [...]
Here is how Obama got his 60 votes to push Obamacare through the Senate:
Here's a new maxim: Nothing good ever happens when the Congress is in session on a Saturday night.
As you know, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-Nev) cajoled, coerced, and co-opted Senators Mary Landrieu [...]
From today’s argus leader, comes a tale of Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin besieged by her critics in the Republican party, and those in her own party:
The political world for South Dakota Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin might be a lonely place these days.
For years, liberals have guarded her left flank while she [...]
Larry Elder makes a great point with a history lesson you will not get in the Progressive's government schools:
"The political risks of failure are pretty high."
A former congressional aide offered this ominous assessment following the House of Representatives' passage of "health-care reform." Warning to the Senate: President Obama [...]
(For Republicans only!)
What’s your read on the Congressional Race? Do you like Blake Curd’s position on Obamacare? Do you appreciate Chris Nelson’s track record as SOS? Or do you want to send Pork Bellies to North Korea? Take a moment, and give us the pulse of popular [...]
I’m starting to wonder if there’s any Republican political philosophy behind GOP Congressional candidate Thad Wasson other than throwing stuff against the wall and seeing if anything sticks.
I love an underdog, but there’s a difference between being an underdog, and barking at the moon.
Recently on the candidate blog he’s [...]
Ann Coulter points out the silliness of the diversity nuts, and has a solution, if we still have a separation of powers in DC:
Among the worst aspects of America's "diversity" is that liberals' reaction to a heterogeneous population is to create a pecking order based on alleged victimhood – [...]
Because spending money on actual disease control and prevention would be so . . . plebian:
More than a decade after Congress cut funding for firearms research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), another federal health agency has been spending millions of dollars to study such topics [...]
Watch out for Medicare scams. (Seems like I should be saying this to Congress.)
OSHA to see if anyone needs to pay penalties to government for worker’s death in wall collapse.
South Dakota unemployment now at 5 percent.
Everything old is new again: school to use wood-fueled boiler for [...]
Ironic Johnny makes another list, probably not one he wants to make though;

Saving jobs and spending money. Oh, here are the congressional districts in South Dakota which are getting all that money from the stimulus:
Let me know when you figure out where all those extra districts may be found. Here I was thinking we just had one of [...]
From the Hill:
Despite taking a big bite out of politics since its inception in 1999, WUFPAC says much more needs to be done. For them, the number of female politicians in state and federal office, though steadily increasing, still isn’t big enough — and the number of young women in [...]
The recent sentencing of Former Congressman William Jefferson is notable, not only because it shows the face of government corruption, but also because it illustrates what looks to me like a growing disparity between society's willingness to punish financial offenders and its willingness to punish certain violent offenders. Jefferson [...]
I found this page to be quite humorous;
The below Democrats voted to kill health care reform in Congress. We can no longer elect people just because they have a ‘D’ next to their name. The PCCC is dedicated to electing bold progressives to Congress in [...]
By recent accounts Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin is exasperated with the base of her party...maybe a little angry, but mostly exasperated. Not with everyone, just those unwieldy populists. Those "liberals" who don't understand politics in the real world.
She is choking on the bone of incumbent' [...]
Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin is being targeted in ads after her vote last Saturday against the House health care reform bill.
According to Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a progressive activist organization dedicated to electing progressives to Congress, the group plans to spend $20,000 targeting [...]
From my e-mail box. Do they know I take paid ads from Democrats too? :
