Statewide races

The Liberal-Conservative Government passed the test of the Danish Electorate Tuesday. Polls did show that it was a close race between the block of parties led by Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the opposition block led by Social Democrat Helle Thorning-Schmidt (yes, she would have been the first Danish woman Prime Minister).

Mukasey was a shoe in. He had allayed everyone’s fears of his stance on torture. It’s illegal, he said! He was almost guaranteed a speedy approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Today is Hillary Clinton’s 60th birthday. While Bill Clinton had already sent out an email asking for birthday wishes (and contributions) via the campaign, it was strange to see that today, the exact same email went out - but from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).

An article published on thehill.com by Bill Press has revealed that the Federal Election Committee will hold TV personality, Stephen Colbert, and now 2008 “Presidential Candidate” to the same regulatory standard of sponsorship and media affiliation as the other candidates. “If Fred Thompson had to give up ‘Law and Order,’ Colbert has to give up […]
In today’s Washington Post, there is a profile of Joe Trippi, best known for his work as Howard Dean’s campaign manager during the 2004 election cycle. Trippi is widely credited for being the first person to recognize and utilize the power of the Internet in electoral politics. That being said, he did preside over Dean’s […]
