Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I’m trying to figure out what’s up with Democratic candidate for Governor Jill Long Thompson and former candidate Jim Schellinger.  Schellinger wrote an op-ed piece for the Ft.

The Just Us League

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

I’ve been spending some time going over the recent lawsuit filed by the League of Women Voters of Indiana over the state’s Voter ID law.  Although the law was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, the League argues it violates the State Constitution.

My counterpart Jennifer Wagner has posted a few simple rules that people in politics should follow that can save them a lot of grief and hassle.  In that spirit, and in the wake of the news of the arrest of City-County Councilor Doris Minton-McNeil, I figured a few more rules might be in order for […]

Every Democrat Has His Day

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

I’m in Chicago this morning introducing the girlfriend to the family, which by the way is going very well.  She and my mother love each other and having a great time.  That could of course be bad for me in the long run, but I’ll risk it. In the meantime, my producer Chris Spangle, attended […]
