Changing times in NH, indeed
CHANGING TIMES, INDEED – I live in Lebanon, yet make the two hour drive (once-a-month) to North Conway to meet friends, traversing the rural and semi-rural traditionally Republican areas [...]
Sarah Palin & Carl Cameron
While I, like everyone else, have been underwhelmed at Sarah Palin’s fitness (or lack thereof) for the Vice Presidency, let alone the Presidency: I have always cut her some slack. Yes, she is an unpleasant thought behind the wheels of government, and yes, she accepted the offer to be a VP nominee. Yet I had [...]
Say it ain’t so, Senator Rudman …..
I suppose that when you are part of a desperate campaign, desperate stuff happens. Still, while I know it’s an article of faith in the GOP that individual voter fraud occurs on a massive scale: it’s sad to see that former N.H. Senator Warren Rudman is one of them.

But it will do nothing to alter in any fundamental way the nature of this election cycle for their benefit. I spent a lot of time tonight going through the various recriminations and [...]
LA, NE, WA, and the Virgin Islands (Waiting for) Results Thread
A fresh thread to hash out the returns on the four primaries/caucuses today. And don’t forget that tomorrow our good friends next door in Maine will have their day in the sun. Preliminary chatter in NE and WA is that turnout is overwhelming caucus locations, but in LA the fear is the opposite. And did [...]
Some Early Turnout Numbers
I’ll have a more comprehensive post up about this later, but kossack SaintPeter has a great early breakdown on turnout. The inescapable conclusion? The GOP is in serious, serious trouble. Check out the numbers for key states like AR, CO, MO, and TN. And the close margins in the reddest of red states. Alabama? Un-freaking-believable. [...]

The bus was late, but the show was sweet – bittersweet. John Edwards closed out his NH campaign in Dover last night to a rapt audience. Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and James Denton were there. The whole Edwards family was there. The entire campaign family was there. The family of labor showed up in full [...]
