Senator Jim Bunning, R-(KY):
Last week, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., asked to pass a 30-day extensions bill for unemployment insurance and other federal programs. Earlier in February, those extensions were included in a broader bipartisan bill that was paid for but did not meet Sen. Reid’s approval, and he nixed the deal. When I saw [...]

Harold Ford Is The Everyman
January 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Democrats, Elections, Politics, america
“Now I’ve taken a 45-day unpaid leave of absence from my job at Merrill Lynch. It’s not right to draw a salary when I’m out every day campaigning. Fortunately, I’ve still got a little NYU teaching job and some MSNBC, so for a while I think I can put food on the table.
Okay look. I [...]
Massachusetts… The Morning After
January 20th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
Congratulations to Massachusetts State Senator Scott Brown, for winning the special senate election in Massachusetts. The seat was held by Edward Kennedy for almost 50 years before his passing last year. The win for the GOP complicates Democrats attempts at not only passing health care reform, but other policy issues as well. [...]
Chris Dodd: The Birth Of A Legacy
January 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Democrats, News, Politics, america
Christopher J. Dodd’s been a senator from the state of Connecticut for over 30 years. Growing up in Southeastern Connecticut, I recall Senator Dodd as an affable, yet towering figure. He was admired, and often emulated by those aspiring to replicate his success. A son of the nutmeg state, Dodd grew up in Willimantic, probably [...]

I suppose the conundrum as been solved.
Dodd’s done:
With poll after poll showing Dodd trailing, it became increasingly clear that his candidacy was not salvageable. A senior Democratic official said Dodd’s long-rumored, and always-denied, retirement plans were “inevitable – like gravity.”
Still, a source familiar with Dodd’s plans insisted late Tuesday that there was no [...]

An Open Letter To My Georgia Senators Part 1: Saxby Chambliss
October 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, Health Care, News, Politics
From my friend Mary– an outspoken proponent in the battle to reshape health care– and protect those who cannot protect themselves.
The health care bill with a public option has been shown to save Americans money and reduce insurance company profits. Which is your constituency?
You know, it may be that neither one starts [...]

New Blood For A New War Part 2: The Christopher Dodd Conundrum
October 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, Elections, News, Politics, Republicans, america
The United States Congress’ approval rating is currently sitting at or around 25 percent. This anemic figure is representative of a few factors: 1) A deflated economy, replete with little to no job creation. 2) A palpable sense of partisan fatigue, created by the non-stop jousting between the two major parties. 3) A general distrust, [...]
