This move on his part makes some sense out of his erratic behavior of late.
So who is going to run to replace him? The Republicans are ecstatic. Unless the Democratic Congress can fix the economy and health care very quickly, the gains seen in 2006 and 2008 will [...]
As could be expected, Republicans haven’t been all that receptive to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s assertion that those who oppose the Democratic health care legislation are like those who supported slavery. Reid made the controversial comparison on the Senate floor yesterday. “Instead of joining us on the right side [...]
Wow. Via Rasmussen Reports:
In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.
I’ve considered suggestions of Republican self destruction ultimately leading to [...]
Running under the Tea Party brand may be better in congressional races than being a Republican. In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote.

Republicans wrote the book.A federal judge ruled this week that tactics used by Republicans, which they claim are intended to reduce voter fraud, still equate to voter suppression and can't be used without a judge's permission. Republicans want cops to patrol polling places where minorities vote, take photos of those voters, and use' [...]
Just what are our goals in Afghanistan? We as Americans are being asked to cough up billions more in dollars and who knows how many more lives, and yet Obama (and supportive Republicans on the Hill)...
[...] Nope…definitely no stalling on the part of Republicans (my emphasis):
In a closed-door meeting of his caucus, the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, told Democrats that Republicans were not interested in passing a bill. In effect, he prepared them for trench warfare, saying the Democrats must stick together [...]
Timothy Egan in the New York Times:
If this case does not sink the presidential aspirations of Huckabee, a leading Republican candidate, it should. By the standards that Republicans launched almost 20 years ago, Huckabee will be Willie Hortonized. But this case also shows, as with an earlier episode [...]

The articles from the United States Preventive Services Task Force, published in [...]
The term seems apt for the apparent majority of Republicans who believe that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Barack Obama.
Seriously. The original poll results are here:
Q5 Do you think that Barack Obama legitimately won the Presidential election last year, or do you think that ACORN stole [...]
That's Washington state's projected budget deficit for next year. It's going to get ugly in Olympia this winter. And no one could've predicted that the state GOP would take this position:
Republicans warn that going to the tax well now is a bad idea, with the economic recovery still fragile.
When' [...]
