The Senate Feud in Kentucky

Lisa Graas, a Kentuckian who supports Bill Johnson in the GOP Senate primary, informs me that FreedomWorks is supporting Rand Paul.

Pudding and Other Sex Scandals

FITCHBURG, Mass. This town is one of the “bellwethers” of the Commonwealth’s voting pattern, according to Suffolk University’s Political Research Center. It’s also been my base of operations for the past five days, since Da Tech Guy lives here. He’s just voted for Republican Scott Brown and filed a brief report about what he saw […]

Polls, Robocalls, Snow, and Other Distractions in Massachusetts

FITCHBURG, Mass. This afternoon, I was on the Ken Pittman show on WBSM in New Bedford and Fairhaven and the subject of the Tea Party movement came up.
