US POLITICS election/post-election edition: your country will improve immediately.

she's also one of 30 judges with an Irish surname running in c.county

LOL true. cf Eileen Gallagher and Eileen T. Gallagher. Separate races, separate women!

msnbc has decided the theme of the night is 'gop purges moderates'

I'm on my third glass of wine and will switch to shoe polish if necessary.

you need to apply for positions @ duke & unc & nc state if necessary

my cabinet is always full

I haven't wanted to touch the hard stuff yet.

dave weigel's coverage of this campaign season is my other favorite thing

BREAKING: You lose U.S. Senate race in Delaware.

Rubio wins in Florida -- no surprise. He won't be in the Senate long.

christine o'd to 'dancing with the stars' imo

I haven't wanted to touch the hard stuff yet.

my cabinet has a 16-bottle wine rack in it

just lettin' you know mr. FL

You could always come here again. We offer suntans and a terrific School of Music at FIU.

idk how msnbc fits that many egos in the room

Just hoping that when Durham County comes in, it'll put Price over the edge (it's looking very tight at the moment!)

Rubio wins in Florida -- no surprise. He won't be in the Senate long.

why do you say that?

you think, like i do, that he's going to be on all the GOP shortlists for VP in 2012 -- or even a possible nominee v. obama?

Yes.

You said so yourself earlier today.

Christie/Rubio 2012

yep yep

I'll go out on a limb: it's Rubio vs Obama in 2012. You read it here first.

Christie/Rubio 2012

Krispy Kreme Christie?

if so, Krispy Kreme is 10 lbs of Rudy Giuliani in a 5 lb douchebag. unelectable outside of the Northeast.

2012: Christie Goes Large

I'll go out on a limb: it's Rubio vs Obama in 2012. You read it here first.

i said it earlier today! sort of. anyway, cosign.

he's going to start running for president ASAP

Beat out Palin in a tea party poll on 2012. He had just killed the ARC project, though.

xpost

could be big trouble for obama, tho my impression is that rubio is sort of an empty suit. but he's a well-spoken, young, good-looking empty suit with lots of empty rhetoric.

sounds familiar doesn't it

I'll go out on a limb: it's Rubio vs Obama in 2012.

*biggest shrug ever*

haha, yes it does sound familiar. pres. rubio. ugh.

Still two years out. In 2006, the projected showdown was between Giuliani and Hillary Clinton.

About 135 results (0.36 seconds)

(some of you want to be pundits just as much as gabbriddanceneb did)

two empty suits is 2000 all over again. Maybe we'll get an actual coup with tanks! [/excited]

People need to stop thinking there's a difference between the "national GOP" and the Tea Party.

Been saying this for a year now. Reading "The Tea Party and the GOP: Change You Already Believed In". It's pretty good

What effect has the tea party had on this agenda, considering that Republicans have been supporting it anyway? The Tea Party provided pressure and cover for Republicans to support this – and to oppose Obama initiatives, even when the president was very popular. It also laundered (I’m using that word neutrally) the arguments that libertarian and conservative think tanks and media were making for the Republican agenda and against the Democratic agenda. You can see one example of how this works in Kate Zernike’s new book on the tea party movement, “Boiling Mad.” At one point Zernike notes that Tea Partyers refer to cap-and-trade as “cap-and-tax.” That’s true, but they use that term because organizations like Americans for Prosperity and guests on Fox News use it. With the rise of the Tea Party movement, messaging like this took on credibility, because regular Americans were using it and repeating it back to reporters.

If I cut and paste your Giuliani-HRC predictions from '06, are you gonna shut the fuck up?

i believe this is the second time (and on the second network) that's mentioned griping among dems re: evan bayh, not only walking away, but walking away with $10 million in the bank that could've helped a LOT in key races this time around

If I cut and paste your Bam-HRC ticket, Morbs, are you gonna shut the fuck up?

rachel maddow has no clue about west virginia politics, zero

good lyric

everyone hates evan bayh, is what it seems like. well, joe scarbs probably likes him, that's it though.
