After a long, wonkish, inside baseball fight over who selects delegates that came as a reaction to the way the Ron Paul people had gamed the system, an inept Republican establishment that sees grassroots activists as disposable widgets put together an unhappy compromise that created all sorts of acrimony with the delegates.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many on the GOP side of the aisle have been complaining that Mitt Romney seems to be incapable of hitting back against the constant stream of lies, innuendo, and calumny that Obama and his minions have unleashed thus far in this campaign.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder originally said that some 600,000 Texans lacked a voter I.D. and therefore would be disenfranchised by the Texas voter I.D. law, but Department Of Justice lawyers have suddenly upped that number greatly.

What would you say if a Koch Brothers, right-wing effort was pushed on Americans with the knowing assistance of National Public Radio — and big money was paid to NPR for the effort?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Ostensibly, Scott Walker was up against Tom Barrett yesterday in Wisconsin. In actuality, his opponents were the unions.
