Last night after news of Obama's reelection was announced, I headed into downtown Chicago and came across groups of supporters celebrating. The video below was taken of a group that gathered outside the ABC studios. They spoke about how thrilled they were to see that...

Operation Counterweight 2012 is over.  I reported the results in an earlier post, here is my assessment. The first thing you need to understand is that by definition we chose difficult races, not easy ones.  The goal was to try to flip Democratic seats or protect...

I'll have more in the morning, but my quick thoughts. Of course it was a bad defeat tonight.  Let's not kid ourselves. We had a chance to stop the decline, and we didn't. We held the House pretty strongly, so that's good, and a reflection that candidates and...
