General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 6, 2011

Perhaps the greatest thing about this blogging gig is that I get to wallow in self-indulgence. (However, not as much as Matt Denn does. Before I die, I want to write one sentence at least as funny as “I am confident that I am the only Lieutenant Governor in America who has had to [...]

This Post is Not About Obama – It is about dumb, failed Democratic election strategies

I am not breaking my recent promise to have mercy on my liberal brothers and sisters by dragging poor Barack through the “purity” mud with my magic pony. I promise.

The intended contrast with the GOP is obvious. While Republicans will nominate a candidate for whom winning will be job number one, President Obama’s most important job is and will continue to be leading the nation.

Primary Obama from the Left? I’m Now Thinking “Maybe”

It could be my recent trip to Vermont speaking, but I’m coming to the conclusion that Obama needs a primary opponent to pull him to the left. While I realize that a hard fought Democratic primary would be a godsend for the eventual Republican nominee – I just don’t see another way to [...]

Matt Denn to Speak at April 6th PDD Meeting

Should be a treat. In this kind of setting Denn is as appealing as a box full of puppies. How he will make the Governor’s budget priorities sound like a Democratic budget is an open question, but…
