As you probably know, results are streaming in from around the country from tonight’s midterm elections. I’ve said before that I dislike doing the same kind of recap posts that I did for, well, just about every primary vote, so I’m going to do something different for tonight’s analysis. I’ll be tweeting my thoughts...
Sorry for the long absence from writing; I’ve had too much work so far this semester, and as always, I care about the quality of these posts. I do not just randomly throw whatever up here; I take time to research these posts. As a result, yes, I am starting to write this on...
Well here we go: as Congress goes to its month-long August recess, we have a full slate of primaries and other developments in the midterm election races to keep us engaged in politics. This Tuesday, the August primaries began in earnest with three states choosing their general election matches. Now, I could just give...

In 1994, after a nasty fight over healthcare, a Democratic majority in Congress was defeated by the GOP in President Clinton’s first midterm elections. This of course sounds eerily similar to what could possibly happen this year, in President Obama’s first midterm elections. ...
Today, it was revealed that leaders in the Republican Party have circulated a proposal that are essentially the Ten Commandments that any "real Republican" must follow in order to gain support from the national party. In effect, this will cause all Republicans with ambition in that party to reinvent themselves in the image...
Last night, after many of you went to sleep, the elections in New York’s 23rd Congressional District and in Maine were decided. As you have probably heard by now, Bill Owens became the first Democrat in a century to be elected from that district after the Conservative Party’s candidate conceded. In addition, the pending...
A survey of the noteworthy contests decided today by voters in New Jersey, Virginia, and a Congressional district in New York. Updated live as I find out more results.
