Yep, they should be asking. Why haven’t any of the major networks or national newspapers pressed the White House on why they scheduled the sentencing of Saddam Hussein two days before the US’s midterm elections.
TPM Reader DF is seeing the same thing in Indiana …
To echo your point on “the closer”
Here in the hotly contested IN 9th, I received a slick, heavy card-stock letter-sized mailing from the DCCC accusing Sodrel (the Republican) of attempting to raise taxes on the working man. I was flabbergasted at how weak and ineffectual this expensive mailing was. Sodrel is a rubber stamp for Bush. He is a âstay the courseâ guy. He hemmed and hawed on Social Security reform. Did I mention heâs a rubber stamp for Bush? Even if the DCCC mailer is technically correct, who freaking cares? It was beyond lame. It physically hurt me.
The Republicans have a hematoma under their right eye called Iraq, and one under the left called Bush. Keep punching those damn things!
It is a little painful.
The Allen campaign refuses to return our calls asking whether Sen. Allen will release his sealed divorce records. We’re not the only news outlet asking, just the only one telling you how the Allen campaign is responding. Heck, one major national daily had a reporter out in LA for at least week trying to nail down the story. It’s what every Washington insider is talking about: what’s inside those sealed records down in Albemarle County. Now that the Allen campaign is about to go on the airwaves about sex scenes in Jim Webb’s books, maybe you should know about this too.
GOP candidate Roskam said he was for phasing out Social Security. Now he says he’ll never cut it.
More evidence of a Gibbons cover-up in Nevada.
What is it they always say, not the attempted sexual assault but the cover-up? Maybe that’ll become the updated cliche.
It must be contagious: Duke Cunningham’s replacement, Brian Bilbray, has a Grand Jury investigating him over whether he falsified residency docs.
If there’s one thing you can say about the Corker-Ford race it’s that it’s really, really close. Five polls have come out in the last week. Two have Ford up, though one is a DSCC poll. Three have Corker up. Four of the five are either tied or have a one or two point spread.
Looks like PoliticalWire.com is hearing more about Sen. Allen’s sealed records.
