Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville has a 17-point lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in Alabama, according to a Morning Consult poll released Tuesday. The survey of 650 likely Alabama voters shows Tuberville ahead of Jones, 52 percent to 35 percent. Four percent said they would vote for someone else and 9 percent had no opinion. Tuberville, who secured the Republican nomination after he defeated ex-U.S. Attorney General and erstwhile Sen. Jeff Sessions in last month’s GOP primary runoff, more than doubled his advantage over Jones from an earlier survey. Back in February, Tuberville had an 8-point lead...

Radical left-wing icon former California Democratic Rep. Ron Dellums was a hired lobbyist for Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. June 9, 2016, the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned. Dellums, who represented liberal San Francisco and Oakland, Calif., is a long-time darling of left-wing political activists. He served 13 terms in Congress as an African-American firebrand and proudly called himself a socialist. He retired in 1996. The former congressman is one of several high-profile Democratic partisans who was on Veselnitskaya’s payroll, working to defeat a law that is the hated object of...

Has the political punditry class lost its collective mind? In a year in which every other supposed front-runner and establishment candidate has collapsed to single digits or has already withdrawn from the race — yes, I am talking about you, Jeb Bush, and you, Scott Walker — Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to lead the Democratic field with more than 40% of the vote. Can Bernie Sanders, who is 15 points behind her in recent polling, represent a real threat to her nomination? No. Hell no. Not a chance. But pundits keep asking the question without pointing out the obvious answer....

A poll from Gravis Marketing and Capitol Correspondent released on Tuesday gives Republican Mitt Romney a five-point lead over Democrat Barack Obama in the Virginia presidential race, and also gives GOP Senate candidate George Allen a five-point lead over Democrat Tim Kaine. The poll differs significantly from recent polling in both races that had consistently given Obama a small lead over Romney for president and had the Kaine-Allen race a virtual deadlock. Gravis Marketing, in a press release on its poll, reported that it had polled Virginia in August and had measured a 44 percent-to-40 percent lead for Obama in...

Reacting to the resignation of Van Jones, here is video of Joe Trippi and Ed Rollins talking with CNN's John King today, where Trippi said Republicans are trying to make President Obama "another Jimmy Carter" - meaning a failed President. Trippi had said Obama has the potential to be "FDR or Jimmy Carter." They were talking about the impact of the Van Jones resignation on the Obama Presidency. Rollins also said that Jones had "embarrassed the President," and that he did the right thing to resign. Rollins sounded a warning in pointing out Obama has over 30 of these "czars,"...

This is getting wild . .. The Iowa caucuses might be a few weeks off, but MSNBC pundits have already cast a resounding "no" vote in a referendum on Hillary's credibility. A bi-partisan consensus of blatherers today rejected the Clinton campaign's denial of involvement in NH co-chair Bill Shaheen's raising of Barack Obama's past involvement with drugs. Meanwhile, things are getting downright nasty among top consultants to the frontrunners' campaigns. View video here.

Anita Drobny and Sheldon Drobny, co-founders of the Air America Radio Network, along with a couple others, are starting a new liberal talk radio network to pick up where Air America is presumably about to leave off. What does it say about the objectivity of Zogby's polling that John Zogby will be a regular contributor? -------------- Air America Co-Founders Start New Liberal Talk Network: Mike Malloy, Joe Trippi and John Zogby join Nova M Radio Nova M Radio, Inc....

It's 25 minutes long. Enjoy!

Canada has become the newest dream nation for the far left. Many liberals simply claim they cannot take any more after the 2004 election. Leftists accuse Americans as "betraying" them to a "right-wing movement." Therefore, it seems only sensible to look to the nation to America's north. A nation, I might add, that allows gay marriage, has legalized drugs, authorizes large healthcare, and has skyrocketing taxes. Also, it has a liberal government in Paul Martin. Ottawa seems a much friendlier place for liberals these days. Media jumped on this story after the election, as they saw new requests for moving...

Senator Rick Santorum (R-Virginia)? It might be a joke for some, but at SantorumForVirginia.com it's become a rallying call. The site, which states it is not authorized by any candidate, candidate's committee, or the PA or VA Democrat Party, has gone on the offensive with pictures of Santorum's Virginia residence, the VA house's actual address, and newspaper accounts of the recent Penn Hills School District controversy. SantorumForVirginia.com even lists the Top Ten Reasons why Rick Santorum Should Stay In Virginia, with several key stabs taken at Santorum from his position in theToomey/Specter primary and his wife's uncapped medical malpractice settlement...

It really sucks to be a Democrat politician nowadays and, according to Screamin’ Dean’s former campaign manager, Joe Trippi, things are only going to get worse for them as waves of Rat politicos retire. I give Trippi credit for at least having a grip on reality but read the DUmmie reactions in this THREAD. I only hope that the Democrats follow the DUmmie suggestions for reversing this trend since it will cause the RATS to become nearly extinct. We start off with Trippi’s quote followed by the DUmmie rantings in Bolshevik Red. As usual, your humble correspondent, nursing a few...

The Myth of Joe Trippi's ''Raging Youth'' Every time we are forced to watch MSNBC inevitably the architect of the Howard Dean disaster, Joe Trippi, will come on and start blathering about how "young voters" who have been energized by the web, who pollsters miss because of thier cell phones etc. are going to make the difference in this election. Of course, he says, they are going to vote for Kerry, and always says "if they turn out".Well pardon us Mr. Trippi, but we think you're either deluding yourself or simply full of it. Taking advice from you about youth...

The Kerry campaign is asleep again Senator Kerry? This is your September wake-up call By Joe Trippi Updated: 12:47 p.m. ET Sept. 1, 2004 NEW YORK - Here at the Republican National Convention, you can tell with each passing day just how formidable, disciplined and unabashedly deceptive the Bush campaign will be as it wages political war with John Kerry. The problem is, as the month of August comes to an end, an old familiar Kerry campaign I’ve seen before has emerged. As Howard Dean’s campaign manager, I saw a front-running Kerry campaign literally fall asleep in the early months...

'When ya gettin' rid of him?' Tony Blair has become an embarrassment to Labour's natural allies across the Atlantic - the Democrats Mark Seddon Friday August 20, 2004 The Guardian Out on the stump in Brooklyn with Democrat Congressional hopeful Frank Barbero came a chance to talk to the footsoldiers in an election that all agree is the most important in decades.

Arianna Huffington, Joe Trippi Challenge Kerry to ``Go Big''; Petition Ignites the Internet LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2004--An impassioned appeal was made today to Senator John Kerry by author and political activist Arianna Huffington and veteran Democratic campaign strategist Joe Trippi. They are asking him to "Go Big, Ask More!" a rallying cry that asks Kerry to become the strong, dynamic, inspirational leader Americans are longing for. In an effort to transcend the, now typical, voter's dilemma of choosing between the "lesser of two evils," the duo has launched an online petition drive calling on Sen. Kerry to offer a...

If you haven't read Howard Kurtz's fascinating Washington Post story detailing the civil war inside the Dean campaign, you should. Kurtz describes how Dean for America was divided between Kate O'Connor, a long-time Dean aide in Burlington, and Joe Trippi, the hot-shot political strategist who ran the campaign. While Dean was riding high on the hog, the O'Connor and Trippi factions had a contentious coexistence. After Iowa, there was open hostility, the end result being that Trippi was forced out of the fold. O'Connor is fiercely loyal to Dean. Worrying about Trippi and his people, she tells one campaign staffer,...

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Former presidential candidate Howard Dean is creating a political organization to advance the issues that fueled his candidacy. So is his one-time campaign manager. And while both the former Vermont governor and Joe Trippi say they intend to work in a complementary fashion, the efforts are spreading uncertainty among thousands of Web-savvy supporters of the fallen Democratic front-runner. "I'm confused. Please answer. Is this separate from (Dean for America) or in conjunction with DFA? I think the point needs to be clarified," one person wrote recently on Trippi's Web site. Wrote another, "Is their separation or...
