Will The Tea Party Save Harry Reid?
By Carole on Feb 14, 2010 | Comment »
The grassroots political movement known as the Tea Party is doing a great job of reminding both parties what a large segment of the American people want and what they deserve under the US Constitution. But are they ready to govern and will the attempt by some of them to become a legitimate political party do more harm than good?

What's the quickest way to go from United States Senator to "whatever happened to..."? Completely ignore the calls, letters and poll results from your constituents and vote for Obamacare anyway.

Corzine to Deeds to Coakley. No they aren't the newest double play combination in the majors. They are three Democrats who desperately hoped President Barack Obama could save their failing campaigns by making a last minute joint appearance with them. Corzine and Deeds found out in November that Mr. Obama's political capital is non-transferable. Coakley is about to learn the same thing when the president travels to Massachusetts on Sunday.

By Carole on Jan 13, 2010 | 3 comments »
The special election campaign in Massachusetts is getting more interesting by the minute. What was supposed to be an easy win for the Democrat, state Attorney General Martha Coakley, in the race to fill Ted Kennedy's Senate seat is getting tighter and uglier.
