A SuperPAC which backed Sarah Steeleman in the primary has entered the race the national Republicans have abandoned. This video (h/t Reboot Congress) strikes what may be a winning message -- you don't have to agree "with everything he says," but you can agree Claire McCaskill...

Trying to get as many of the reader photos out as possible before the election, since they have expiration dates. This is from commenter LukeHandCool: My wife took this picture of a Romney banner on one of the fraternities at USC when she was dropping off clothes...

A new video from the National Republican Congressional Committee. Features two of our Operation Counterweight candidates. ...

Averaging turnout models over the last four 2-year cycles, gets different results in the polling than the doom being peddled by Operation Demoralize. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but given that Operation Demoralize is in full swing, anything that keeps spirits up for...

I previously posted about the pro-Republican  television ad being run by Thomas Peterffy with his own money.  I also posted about the Mini-PAC running ads on cable television in black areas of Ohio. I've noticed a number of people taking direct action, putting their own money...

by Chris Christie.  We need to focus on getting out the vote big time.  Sandy has been the perfect political storm for Obama.  It's like calling three consecutive time outs before we were about to kick the winning field goal. We care about New Jersey and the...

and I am outraged. Spotted this bumper sticker in the Wegmans parking lot in Ithaca. I think you can guess what the other bumper sticker on the car was. ...

Once again, we hear via Cong. Jesse Jackson Jr's wife Sandi that the AWOL representative from Illinois under investigation by the House Ethics Committee will remain in treatment even as the election approaches. According to his wife, Jackson will continue to stay at the Mayo Clinic,...

Each day until Election Day we will feature a previously unpublished photo sent in by a Legal Insurrection reader on National Empty Chair Day, September 3, 2012. The countdown continues with 6 days to go. Today’s first Empty Chair photo comes to us from Joy in Michigan who writes, "I...

The polling this year is insane.  Same state, same time period, wildly different results from poll to poll. Rasmussen has Romney up 2 in Wisconsin; Marquette has Obama up 8. The Boston Globe (UNH Polling) has Scott Brown up 2; Suffolk has Elizabeth Warren up...

The United States is 13 percent black. The NBA is 75 percent black. But this year, the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves are “only” 30 percent black. Obviously, this is a civil-rights issue. Tyrone Terrell, chairman of St. Paul's African American leadership council, told the Star-Tribune that he thinks...

More signage of the times. From Chris in Wisconsin: From Linda in Tennessee: Our neighbor a mile down the road posted this yard sign. I would caption it: "It's your Choice!". When I stopped, introduced myself and asked for permission to photo it, the owner told me he needed...

What is Chris Christie up to? It's one thing to acknowledge federal help, or that Obama was attentive (it is the week before the election, after all), but Christie is acting like a love-struck teenager, in other words, like America circa 2008. As tempting as it is...

David Cicilline, my current Congressman and former Mayor of Providence, has been a frequent topic here for the past two years, ever since he stole the 2010 congressional race by covering up and being "untruthful" (the Providence Journal's word) about the dismal state of Providence's...

Only a few more days of stonewalling and hurt feelings, and Obama may get away with it. If he's re-elected, it's too late to matter.  If he's not re-elected, it's too late to matter. Maybe this is a sign Benghazi is permeating the popular consciousness in time,...
