Attorney and former Democratic Chair Don Bivens is still seriously considering a run for the United States Senate. This from an e-mail he sent out to activists and supporters: I’m under no illusion that this race would be easy. Naysayers will claim that professional politicians and Washington insiders can’t be beat. And political pundits will [...]
This week, there was a bit of buzz about a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling that had several hypothetical match ups for next year’s US Senate race.

After the jump, what has to be one of the more entertaining fundraising e-mails of this cycle. Whatever issues people have with Rodney Glassman, I don’t hear a lot of our Democratic candidates standing up against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Editor’s Note – I haven’t decided yet if I will totally return to this blogging enterprise, but last night left me with thoughts that are begging, nay, demanding, to be posted. I’ll post a few throughout the day, including ones of only marginal utility such as this one. John Dougherty showed up at the Copper [...]
