Today's test case is Alaska, red red Alaska. So we have two important congressional races in Alaska this November: First we have the Senate election. The seat is currently held by Republican Sen. Ted Stevens. And here is the most recent poll: Stevens (R) 43 (41) Begich (D) 48 (47) That is 2008-05-15 11:06:46 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.thepersonalispolitical.com/2008/05/obama-effect-alaska-edition.html 10 15 http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/05/15/sorry-scanner-emily-but-we-gotta-hate-on-emily-s-list.aspx http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/05/15/sorry-scanner-emily-but-we-gotta-hate-on-emily-s-list.aspx Thu, 15 May 2008 10:30:00 -0700 First, a few disclaimers: 1) Emily's List is not affiliated with Scanner Emily or her totally rad Top 10 Lists. Emily's List, for those of you not in the political know, is a PAC that exclusively supports "pro-choice Democratic women running for congress and governor." Of course, that doesn't ever stop them from wading into the Presidential race. 2) We acknowledge that Emily's List does a great service for womankind with its service.

They instantly flooded NARAL's websites with vitriolic attacks and threats, like sharks to chum-saturated water. It was a sad sight. Let's take a little stroll and see what people wrote (these are representative of the whole), and I'll respond as we go:Traitors!!! I will never again support anything relating to NARAL.

CQ Politics: The leadership team met in crisis mode Wednesday, one day after Democratic candidate Travis W. Childers bested Republican Greg Davis 54 percent to 46 percent in Mississippi’s 1st District. The victory by Childers, who is expected to be sworn in next week, followed similar Democratic wins in Illinois in March and Louisiana earlier this month, and 2008-05-15 07:33:01 PDT http://technorati.com/search/thesidetrack.blogspot.com/2008/05/after-surprising-losses-gop-in-crisis.html 37 56 http://righterblock.blogspot.com/2008/05/cant-miss-this-wont-miss-list.html http://righterblock.blogspot.com/2008/05/cant-miss-this-wont-miss-list.html Thu, 15 May 2008 07:21:29 -0700 M.Snowe always likes to create original content, but this article is so succinct, so terse, that we decided it speaks better than could be adapted originally on this blog. While we have decided to stay out of declaring any one (democratic) candidate as our favourite, this piece tells it like it is. The only thing to add would be that unfortunately, there is another problem with this primary that won't end with a formal candidacy, and you can read about it here.

Hillary Clinton is positioning herself to be successful, relevant and powerful -  except not as President of the United States, but maybe as Vice President. Reviewing what has happened in the past few weeks and months of this campaign, followers of current events will notice a pattern of positive reporting around the Democratic Party and the growing prospects of a Democratic win in November. You will also notice that the negative press around Clinton has not survived despite her continua 2008-05-15 07:01:58 PDT http://technorati.com/search/thinkmatter.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/hillary-clinton-savior-of-the-democratic-party/ 9 12 http://adaniller.com/2008/05/15/the-edwards-delegates/ http://adaniller.com/2008/05/15/the-edwards-delegates/ Thu, 15 May 2008 06:50:50 -0700 I was curious as to what would happen to the delegates currently pledged to John Edwards, the handful he won in the first few primary contests, now that the former senator has endorsed Barack Obama. In a race hinging on the vote of every single delegate, it’s obviously a fairly significant question. Todd Beeton has the answer. Summary version: In other words, as of now, they are essentially unpledged delegates akin to the supers. The likelihood is, of course, that they’ll declare for Obama.

I wouldn't go so far as to describe it as fair to Senator Clinton, but if it doesn't make you laugh seek medical, or more properly spiritual, care because you have no soul. Posts of the day, let's learn about modern art division.

Please, why is this taking so long? Why did the Republicans get finished so much sooner? Is McCain  THAT attractive? Had the Republicans had a Dynamic unDuo like Nobama and Shrillary, would they still be going at it too? (shudder) Forgive my ignorance, I don’t delve into politics very often.

Even before he endorsed Obama the vast majority Edwards supporters went straight to Obama, so now that Edwards has officially made his choice and the primary is all but settled it would be hard to imagine them not flowing straight to Obama.

In the period from 1857 to 1933, only three Democratic candidates won the White House governing a combined 20 years out of a 76 year period (though it can argued that Samuel Tilden won the election of 1876 only to have slip away in a backroom deal).

What effect it will have will be interesting, given the results from the West Virginia primary on Tuesday.
