Two weeks before Florida’s primary day, Marc Caputo at Politico has some data that could dampen the hopes of the Democrat Party to gain wins in the swing state.

Former House Speaker and current House minority leader Nancy Pelosi may have believed him back in 2013 when then-President Obama assured the nation that Pelosi will again be speaker. The 2014 midterms came and went, and then the 2016 presidential election, and still Pelosi does not hold the Speaker’s gavel.
And it...
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a media darling. They love, love, love her. Her defeat of Joe Crowley in the NY-14 primary was to herald a new era in Democrat politics – a new, young Socialist face for the coming years.
Ignored was that Ocasio-Cortez won her primary with only about <...
Earlier this week, Mary blogged about Representative Christopher Collins (R-NY) being indicted on allegations of insider trading. Today, Collins has announced that he is suspending his reelection campaign. It’s not yet clear who will replace him, but it seems unlikely that the GOP will lose this safe seat.
The race for Ohio’s 12th congressional district was too close to call after the polls closed on Tuesday and after Wednesday, it tightened a little more. From Cincinnati.com:
Election officials in Franklin County found 588 previously uncounted votes in a Columbus suburb. The result: O’Connor had a net gain of 190 votes,...
Sharice Davids just won the Democratic primary in the KS-03 District. She defeated the Bernie-Ocasio-Cortez backed progressive candidate. She will face incumbent Republican Kevin Yoder in November.
I normally wouldn’t take interest in the race, except that Sharice is a former student of mine.

Should Republican congressional candidate Elizabeth Heng win California’s 16th district seat this November, I might suggest she send the social justice brigade in charge of monitoring Facebook videos a big “Thank You.”
The social media giant’s video team blocked one of her ads, but changed their mind once they...
In May, former convict and coal CEO Don Blankenship announced his intention to run as a Constitution Party nominee for the West Virginia senate seat after he lost the GOP primary despite the state’s sore loser law.
Blankenship boasted on Monday that he has the signatures needed to file papers to get...
For those of us filled with dread, there’s some comforting news in a Morning Consult poll released today.
Some of the findings are pretty obvious, such as Donald Trump being the biggest “issue” for voters of both parties:
The energy among Democrats is fueled by anti-Trump Resistance and the embrace of Socialism.
The anti-Trump energy will get Democrats only so far — there already is evidence it will not be enough. Democrats feel the need to be FOR something, not just AGAINST Trump.
As midterms approach, the generic ballot has been in flux. The Democrats began with a double-digit lead, this was whittled down significantly, and is now back up at around 8%. Other factors make predicting whether or not Republicans can maintain control of the House difficult, but Republicans have an advantage in...
You may think House Democrats have no message other than the fact that they’re against Trump, or that they want to roll back the tax cuts, but you’d be wrong. They recently announced their new slogan and it’s a real snoozer.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s victory over Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY), the head of the House Democratic Caucus, propelled her into the national spotlight. She seems to think she’s the new face of the party, which has led her to attack those within the Democrat Party.
House Democrats have grown tired of her schtick and...
Florida’s Republican governor Rick Scott is challenging Democrat Bill Nelson for the U.S. Senate this fall. Nelson has been in office since 2001. The GOP believes this is one of the seats they can pick up and they have good reasons to think so.
