Mississippi, one of the nation's most conservative states, has not elected a Democratic senator in a quarter-century. It has voted for Republican pres...

Barack Obama's "Southern Strategy" based on expected "historic turnout in the African-American community" has come under scrutiny recently, setting off a new round of debate on the matter in the blogosphere.

Even still-enamored journalists cannot fail to notice that it would be difficult to find a candidate less suited for the times or the office than McCain right now.

Dropping the national GOP brand -- current and would-be presidents included -- is in the individual self-interest of many Republican candidates.

John McCain "can't win" if he's seen as "the Bush third term" -- this, from a Republican?

After spending almost $3 million in its failed bid to hold three congressional seats in special elections this season, the NRCC is poorly positioned to make any impact this November.

If Republicans lose in deeply Republican districts as they did last night, they can literally lose anywhere. The whole electoral map can be redrawn.

It has rarely been the case that as Mississippi goes, so goes the nation, but when this red state turns blue it's a sure indication that the GOP is the Gone Old Party.

First North Carolina, now Mississippi. Rev. Wright has become fair game for Republican campaigners. The GOP willingness to use Obama against down-ballot candidates does not bode well for Democrats.

The only chance Hillary will have to stave off a complete fracturing of the Democratic Party's base is to offer a "dream ticket," with her name at the top.
Dylan Loewe | Posted 03.05.2008 | Politics
Hillary's spin, and the media adoption of that spin, will do little to change a stark reality this morning: Hillary Clinton cannot win the Democratic nomination.

I'm starting the Trent Lott Porch Reconstruction Fund. And we won't stop until that wrap-around Victorian porch is standing once again. Because a man's second home's porch is his castle.
