Oh, how the tables have turned. Nervous Democrats are on defense and emboldened Republicans sense opportunity heading into 2010 and the midterm elections. It was just three years ago that the GOP lost the House and Senate as well as governors' races in a cross-country Democratic wave. Now, with most states under their control and comfortable majorities in Congress, Democrats must protect far more seats than Republicans: 19 governors' mansions, 17 Senate seats and as many as 60 House districts in moderate-to-conservative regions and swing-voting areas. At this point, Democrats must do it in a more troubling political environment than in 2006 and 2008. ... Read Full Story

In a final push to get health care reform through the House of Representatives, President Barack Obama warned lawmakers on Saturday that a vote against the legislation would not immunize them from Republican attacks. The president, according multiple attendees, played the role of political prognosticator during his roughly 30 minute address before Democratic caucus members on Capitol Hill. Addressing, implicitly, those conservative Democrats who are worried about voting for a nearly trillion dollar health care overhaul, he insisted that they would not be safe from partisan attacks even if the Read more: Obama To Dems: GOP Will Attack Regardless Of How You Vote Related ...

Talk about an odd couple! Former Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be joining U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, the longest serving openly LGBT member of Congress, as headliners for the Gridiron Club winter dinner . No word on whether they'll sing a version of "Endless Love" together. The Gridiron Club's winter dinner is one of those inside-the-Beltway events where journalists cozy up to politicians for a night of self-deprecation. In year's past, Gov. Mitt Romney sang , President (then Senator) Barack Obama said he was more over-exposed than Paris Hilton , and late conservative columnist Robert Novak impersonated Dick Cheney ... Read Full Story

From the Associated Press: Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told about 5,000 supporters in Wisconsin to continue to press lawmakers on abortion issues. Wisconsin Right to Life officials say Palin's low-profile stop in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis on Friday night was more than a year in the making. Palin told the crowd they ``went rogue'' _ a reference to her upcoming memoirs _ with their support of the cause. She didn't mention President Barack Obama by name in her 25-minute speech, but briefly touched on health care reform legislation and pressed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to make sure all voices ...

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that FOX NEWS is profoundly bigoted. The stupid rally on the steps of the Capitol yesterday arranged by Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachman with the help of FOX NEWS was a clear indication of the racism of FOX NEWS . Not a single African-American could be seen in the crowd of nearly 1,000 people. This video of a African-American soldier from Ft. Hood, Texas flys in the face of the racists at FOX NEWS who are none too subtle in their never ending attacks on Blacks in America . The amazing thing is GLENN BECK, ... Read Full Story

Congressman Anthony Weiner, D-New York, has agreed with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi not to have a floor vote on his Medicare for All bill. A press release from Congressmen Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (sponsor of HR 676, a single payer bill) opposing it helped tip the scale. But Weiner did not ask Pelosi to include in her bill the Kucinich Amendment to allow states to create single-payer. Pelosi made clear that President Obama opposes that, and used the bogus excuse that providing everyone with comprehensive free healthcare would deprive them of the right to pay ever increasing rates ...

50 That's the percentage of adults who believe former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) is qualified to be president as opposed to 36 percent who believe he is not in a new national poll from Gallup. Huckabee's numbers on the "qualified" question were matched only by fellow former Gov. Mitt Romney (Mass.) with 49 percent qualified/39 percent not qualified rating.

by Mark Silva Republicans Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin all could stake strong claims to campaigns for their party's presidential nomination in 2012, a Gallup Poll shows today. The potential standing of these former governors who all set their sights on presidential tickets in 2008 among the public in general is not as strong, however, Gallup finds -- with most Americans surveyed viewing Palin as unqualified.

Before Sarah Palin became the embodiment of the conservative grassroots, another national candidate from a state beginning with "A" mastered 21st century Republican populism on his way to winning the 2008 Iowa caucuses.
