This post was co-written by myself and Brett DiResta, co-founder with me of the ironically named AmericansForAmericaPAC.com ("If you're not with us... You must Hate America

Republicans are, if nothing else, excellent at repeating themselves. Hell, if you could teach a parrot to say "tax cuts", "it's the fault of...

Yesterday I wrote a post about -- like a million other Wednesday morning quarterbacks -- one of the possible paths to victory in Kentucky for Jack Conway -- a Senate seat and candidate I have a particular interest in.  

The path went straight through Ran...

Ground zero in the Teabag War this fall will not be in Arkansas nor even Pennsylvania.

It will be in Kentucky.

Rand Paul, as everyone knows, is the Republican/Tea Party nominee. He will be a true Tea Party candidate -- not a moderate temporarily adopted by the Teabaggers like Scott...

Progressives' criticisms of the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court may well be valid on single, specific issues. But they seem to miss two key points:

• SCOTUS's Personal Politics:

The Gulf disaster proves, at a minimum, that Sarah Palin's mindless slogans like "Drill Baby Drill" are not enough to make good energy or environmental policy.

A video by Americans for America PAC, which I co-direct, tries to make that case as simply as possible, juxtaposing...

I tell ya, maybe it's because I'm reaching middle age, but the pace of American politics is starting to make my head swim.

Remember Scott Brown, a regular guy from Wrentham, Massachusetts who drove a truck and would be nobody's Senator by the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?

Mark yesterday, April 22, 2010, in the history book.

It was the day American Democracy discovered the DVR.

It happened at a Capitol press conference. There, the Senate Democratic leadership found the cajones, via a video montage, to use the L Word and say to the Republicans: "You...

HuffPost's Sam Stein was one of the first to report on the news about Sarah Palin's admission that her family used to sneak into Canada for free health care.

That, along with news that, if health care reform passes, Rush Limbaugh plans to move to Costa...

Happy Constitution Day! That's right, it was 222 years ago Thursday, on September 17, 1787, the Constitution was signed at Independence Hall.

Who'd have thunk that the Constitution, the convention that negotiated it, and the ratification debates that followed would have such relevance 222 years later -- and even precisely...

A college buddy of mine -- let's call him KS -- told me he was coming to D.C. this weekend, and asked if he could stay with my wife and me, to which I said of course.

He didn't tell me he was coming to D.C. for the 9/12 Teabaggers...

South Carolina Shame: Past, Present, Future

Joe Wilson's "You lie!" outburst wasn't just a breach of protocol.

It was South Carolina's latest and greatest contribution to its famous - and infamous - contribution of some of the most offensive and divisive moments in American history.

Remember Fort Sumter? Yes, Joe Wilson's...

Yesterday marked the third anniversary of George Allen calling S.R. Siddarth "Macaca" while Siddarth's camera rolled.

Macaca Day, for those of us who make our living from video on the Internet and elsewhere, is a holy day -- the day that marks the birth of YouTube politics, and reminds...

Here's the ADD version of this post - Team Obama should create/implement the following Web Video programs:

(1) WhiteHouse.gov/TV; (2) Weekly Obama Webcast; (3) GovTube; (4) Video Content on Non-Governmental sites; (5) in every executive branch agency, create New Media, Transparency, and Technology offices; (6) have cabinet members/agency heads...

Just two years ago, the modern age of YouTube/Web Video Politics began:

On 8.11.06, Sen. George Allen, a shoo in for reelection and early favorite for the GOP 08 pres nomination, called Web Campaign video tracker S.R. Sidarth "Macaca".

On 8.14.08, the Webb campaign, unable to get TV stations to...
