2012 Presidential Campaign. Is it too early for polling?

GOP Seek to Defund NPR and PBS, Again

Treasurer’s Opponent Resorts to Lies and Ignores the Facts

At first glance, one might see the title of Rev. Sexton’s blog, “Dear Ones Healing Ministry,” and would assume it is a blog about religion and healing for one’s soul. Instead, the first post on the front page boasts, “NAPPIER VS. WRIGHT”

Bold Progressives People-Powered Ad. Iowa Republican not so fired up by Sen. Grassely.

The millions spent on anonymous, corporate-funded attack ads against Democrats is sickening. Frankly, it’s a poison on our democracy. Today, Bold Progressive is offering part of the antidote. A people-powered TV ad — funded in the light of day by ordinary citizens
