Senate Minority Whip Harry Reid (D-Nev.) shouldn’t be considered a vulnerable incumbent, but he is. And considering the aggressive race for control of the Senate next year, every competitive seat matters a great deal. Fortunately, however, Reid’s most serious competition — Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-Nev.) — spurned pressure from Karl Rove and announced yesterday that […]
Roy’s rock is still sitting in the rotunda of the state judicial building in Montgomery. Believe it or not, Moore’s minions have come up with yet another desperate scheme to keep it there. Let’s review: Moore’s opponents filed a federal lawsuit over a year ago to have the Ten Commandments monument removed. A federal district […]
