Gavin Newsom appeared to take a swipe at Kamala Harris' controversial path to the Democratic presidential nomination. When asked about the selection of her as the nominee, the California Governor joked he was 'told to say' it was 'a very inclusive process.' Last month, Joe Biden made the bombshell announcement he would not be seeking reelection, later endorsing Harris.

Now that President Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the nominee, it will ultimately be up to Democratic National Convention delegates to formally select a new nominee for their party. While many associate the convention system with less-than-impressive nominees, such as the obscure senator Warren G. Harding, the record isn’t that bad. And even Harding managed to win the presidency

If the #springfield2012 twitter feed is to be believed it looks as if the entrance of Deval Patrick has had its desired effect.

The key is that it must truly be the opposition to the Democrats' liberal agenda of higher taxes, bigger government, and less freedom. If the Republican Party does not distinguish...

Honestly, I don't know how Bill Lipinski, John Daley, Mike Madigan or Tom Hynes kept a straight face Tuesday. Or how the other dozen political bosses in the room did either. There they were, Democratic committeeman sitting side by side in a Holiday Inn meeting room just south of Midway Airport in the heart of Lipinski territory. These scions of Chicago political dynasties were engaged in the "serious" business of picking a candidate to replace Lipinski on the November ballot in the 3rd District congressional election. Little wonder few members of the public showed up. This gathering had nothing to...

SOMERSET, KY - Pulaski County broadcaster and Republican State Senate candidate David Carr said today there are clear differences between him and his opponent. He said a close examination of his opponent's voting record reveals these differences. In particular, David Carr points two votes in the 2000 session of the General Assembly. These votes to increase his opponent's Senate pensions are a clear need for a change in the State Senate says Carr. "Both bills would have financed the huge pension increase on the backs of Kentucky taxpayers, while many projects and programs went unfunded. I don't think votes like...
