While Republican Senators and GOP candidates for Senate have done all they can to avoid attending the Republican National Convention, a number of Democratic candidates for Senate proudly attended and spoke at the Democratic National Convention. Here are some highlights.
DSCC Chair Chuck Schumer: "Barack Obama cannot do it alone. Without a strong Democratic majority in the Senate, his ambitious agenda will be thwarted by the defenders of the status quo, whose goals can be boiled down to a single word: ’No!’." Former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen : "No more country club economics at the expense of working families and no more tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas!" Maine Congressman Tom Allen : "We’ll solve our energy crisis, provide affordable, quality health care to all Americans, and bring our troops home from Iraq!" Oregon state House Speaker Jeff Merkley : "Geo...

Today marks the final edition of The Electoral Update . Don’t confuse these numbers with what I think will happen. My predictions will come later today. This simply gives you an idea of where pollsters see the state of the race with twenty-four hours to go.
The biggest news of the day is the tightening numbers in Pennsylvania. Previously, I argued that McCain stood a better chance of picking off Minnesota. A new poll shows Obama leading by only 3 points there. McCain&#... more
If you think John McCain’s defeat Tuesday means you no longer have to hear the word "maverick" every five minutes, think again! The Associated Press reports that "four maverick New York City lawmakers" are refusing to back a member of their own party, Malcolm A. Smith , for majority leader, after over four decades of Republican control of the State Senate. Three of the four holdouts are Latino legislators who feel Latinos have been underrepresented in leadership roles in government,... more
Why are Democratic Senators and Governors being named as possible Obama cabinet members? Those seats are hard fought Democratic victories that we should NOT be reliquinshing. Aren’t there unemployed Democrats out there? What the heck is Bill Bradley doing? Nothing, that’s what! Make him your Secretary of crap we should lose the Arizona Governor to. Oh, and if John doucherocket Kerry is named Secretary of State, I’m putting a bullet in my face. He’s Massachusetts’ p... more
The embattled 4th District Republican state Senate nominee, Mike Faulk, doesn’t appreciate that Mark Brown, the Democratic Senate spokesman, provided a Kingsport paper with opposition research on him regarding his former legal practice:
“The independent senator is in such deep trouble with the folks here at home that he’s turned to the Nashville-based Democrat smear machine for help,” Faulk said in an e-mailed response. “This week’s attack comes from a state employee working... more
State Senate Democratic Caucus Political Director Mark Brown didn’t think GOP Senate candidate Mike Faulk’s counterattack on him for disclosing opposition research by a Texas firm to Kingsport Times News Reporter Hank Hayes was entirely appropriate.
Brown resents the implication that his informative political work was done on the state’s dime. He is on leave, you see, from the Caucus in order to provide reporters with information about a lawyers’ former clientele... more

With rancher, teacher, and 2006 Congressional nominee Scott Kleeb having entered the 2008 Senate race , there have been calls to add Kleeb to the Expand the Map! ActBlue page . Thus far, I have not added to the page any candidates with serious primary competition, as Kleeb currently has in Republican-turned-Democratic businessman Tony Raimondo . But Kleeb’s 2006 Congressional campaign included a strong netroots involvement component that we here very much hope to encourage... more
