Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday. The presidential advisers have grown increasingly pessimistic in the last three days about Coakley's chances after a series of missteps by the candidate, sources said.

Democrats don’t worry about competence when they fill positions of power. Democrats are like the jerk at a baseball game who watches an outfielder make a running driving over the shoulder catch, and tells his friends “I could do that, anybody could do that!” Being a Democrat is all the qualification Democrats need to be appointed or selected to fill a job. Some of the Democrat jackasses who have “served” us after being handed a job are: * Jocelyn Elders. Remember that jerk’s idea to teach school boys how to masturbate and how she liked the music of Eric “Klapner?”...

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Iraqis have faced down terrorists, elected a constitutional assembly and approved a constitution. On Wednesday, they elected a permanent national government. I dipped my finger in purple ink to show my solidarity with liberty-seeking Iraqis and with our troops for risking their lives on the front lines of freedom. Together with Iraqi forces, they put to shame those who said it couldn’t be done. More than 15 million Iraqis voting for a parliament sure sounds like democracy to me. We are making progress in Iraq. The Iraqis believe this too. Further, they are doing their part: rebuilding their country, strengthening...

In this second installment of a three part essay the case for general defeat of the nations minority party is continued. To recap, these issues were covered in part I. *America self identifies 35% to 18% conservative over liberal. Voters see the Democrats as socialists and reject their ideas. *The war in Iraq has little emotional impact on Americans. People are not running out to demonstrate for or against it. It will not be an issue Democrats can move people with. It will be a slight plus for us. *Big Labor’s pull back from the Democrats will hurt them. In...

Maryland TRT members were on the frontlines, in the cold, pouring rain, until the jublilant end! Some of the many Maryland Tyranny Response (TRT) patriots and FReepers celebrate with other grassroots campaign volunteers at the Ehrlich/Steele for Governor victory celebration in Gaithersburg, Maryland, right after the polls closed Tuesday night. Maryland TRT members worked 13 hour shifts at key swing voter polling places for the Ehrlich/Steele (R) gubernatorial campaign in Montgomery County, Maryland on November 5, 2002. The evening rush hour shifts were worked outside during the cold, pouring rainstorm that hit this area last night. This explains the bedraggled...

Terry McAuliffe wants you to know that the Democrats did just fine yesterday--and that they're still mad about 2000. by Jonathan V. Last 11/06/2002 12:00:00 PM Jonathan V. Last, online editor THE BIG STORY of last night's elections was that America overwhelmingly chose the Republican vision of the future over the Democratic vision (or lack of vision). The big story today is what the Democrats will do in the face of their resounding defeat. By all indications, they still don't understand that they have a problem. Late last night, amidst the wave of Republican victories, there were two beacons of...

Al Gore. State election officials ultimately declared George W. Bush the winner by a margin of 537 votes, but during and after the election dispute, questions remained about the uncounted ballots of 175,010 voters, ballots that had been rejected by error-prone tabulating machines employed in many Florida counties. Confusion and conflict, much of it generated by partisan intrigue, prevented these ballots from being counted during the election controversy. However, in 2001 every uncounted ballot was carefully examined in a scientific study by the University of Chicago, which concluded that when all the votes were counted, more votes had been cast...
