As long as we're talking about HC, she's got publicity. It's easy enough to show her to the egress, pay her no attention whatsoever. Poor thing.
Since when did lying, deceit and corrupt manipulation become brilliant strategies?
EIGHT POINTS! In an R+10 district!
Their sky isn't falling - their world is imploding - people are FINALLY seeing the farce that is Republican governance.
These rogues will continue their old tactics--this country needs to get rid of them completely.
Dennis Quaid just took on Baxter, the Supreme Court and the FDA. Good for him. He is pleading with Congress to override a possible Supreme Court decision which would give drug companies total immunity from drug errors (more complex but more or less accurate.)
Not only are the Republicans dropping like flies but their lobbyists are coming under fire.
I'm still waiting for the "greatest speech ever made" that Terry McAuliffe promised Clinton would make.
Am I naive? Not really, I just want to know what kind of drugs the Clinton campaign is on, because the sky is falling on them, too.
Now. We need some dem wins in the Senate...
Please help Rick Noriega defeat John Cornyn of Texas!
I mean, where are the lynch mobs?
Perhaps America still doesn't get it.

Asking the GOP to be an honest party is like asking a canary to roar like a lion.
Nah. Gonna'. Happen.
Geez. Hyperbole anyone? The old time political bosses make Rove look like Little Miss Muffet. Boss Tweed and Roscoe Conkling would have had him for breakfast. The only thing the Repiggies are good at is making mediocrity sound better than it really is.
As a native Mississippian who was born and raised in this district I can second Joshau Norton's reservations. Childers will be a Democratic Representative in exactly the same way that "Democratic" Mississippi Representative Gene Taylor is a Democratic Representative. We ALL know how Democratic Taylor is.
The Dixiecratic Party is alive and well in Mississippi and across the South (think Heath Shuler). As happy as I am about this HUGE victory for the Democrats and for Mississippi, I look forward to the day that we are able to elect REAL Democrats in these parts of the country.
That's factually incorrect. I've seen this error repeated in media coverage of the wonderful Democratic victory in MS-01 but it's NOT the "third straight House special election loss in three conservative districts this year."
On May 3, 2008, Republican Steve Scalise defeated Democrat Gilda Reed in a landslide (75.13% to 22.5%) in a special election for the LA-01 seat vacated by Bobby Jindal, who is now Louisiana's governor. That seat has been in GOP hands since Bob Livingston's election in 1977.
You might remember Livingston as the House Speaker-elect who was forced to resign after Larry Flynt found four women who alleged they had engaged in extra-marital affairs with Livingston. Livingston was replaced by David Vitter, who later vacated the seat to take John Breaux's Senate seat. Larry Flynt exposed David Vitter as someone who allegeded engaged in adultery with multiple partners provided by the DC Madam's escort service while he was a member of the House.
Bobby Jindal was elected to the LA-01 seat following Vitter's election to the Senate. Jindal vacated the seat in January 2008 when he was sworn in as governor of Louisiana. Steve Scalise is now my representative, unfortunately.
We did take the LA-06 seat away from the GOP on May 3, the same day we failed in our attempt to take LA-01. LA-02 is currently held by Bill Jefferson, who has serious problems, but that seat is 100% safe for Democrats.
This year, we crush the Repubs' balls and feed them to the cat.
Once the votes are counted- if they are, which seems problematic at times- I may be able to party.

Read all about Doug Tudor, retired Navy Master Chief and former Flagwriter to CENTCOM Commanders-in-Chief Gens. Franks & Abizaid and Adm. Fallon.
Think about Doug's Republican incumbent opponent, Adam Putnam, third-ranking House Republican, whose career voting record (came in with Bu$h) is 98.4% in lockstep with the whims of the Worst President Ever.
Then click on the CONTRIBUTE NOW button, which takes you to http://www.teamtudor.org/contribute.asp.
Give what you can. Adam Putnam has a million dollars to spend to fend off our assault on his Bu$h-rubberstamping sense of entitlement and prerogative. He's made the office not one for the PEOPLE, but for his PARTY.
Won't you help us send him home? Washington, D.C. needs Doug Tudor, a voice of change for peace, prosperity and people.
We need your help. And if you're into coming to Florida to help with the campaign, please let me know. No pay, long hours, hot, hot heat and an opportunity to make a huge difference. What could rock harder? You might even find time to go to the beach or avoid Disney World.
