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 as…
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 a…
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 you…

This of course sounds eerily similar to what could possibly happen this year, in President Obama’s first midterm elections. The…
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 of Sarah…
Last night, after many of you went to sleep, the elections in New York’s 23rd Congressional District and in Maine were decided.
