Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) scores another high-profile endorsement in his re-election bid: former Massachusetts governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mitt Romney:
Romney said in a statement Tuesday the Arizona senator’s “record of service and sacrifice for America is honored by all.” The former Massachusetts governor added, “It’s hard to imagine the U.S. Senate without John McCain.”
McCain’s [...]

Sen. John McCain and his campaign staff may find comfort and amusement in what challenger J.D. Hayworth has just revealed: this presidency may be involved in some sort of identify theft case…
“All I’m saying is, for every race across the country, especially with identity theft in the news, it would be great that people can confirm [...]

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is up for re-election this November and has the public support of Republican superstar Sarah Palin who’ll campaign for him. However, things are getting interesting with the announcement by former Republican Congressman J.D. Hayworth to enter the Senate race.
Hayworth will have a tough battle ahead of him going up against McCain [...]

The hotly contested Massachusetts Senate race gained the attention of nearly all the 2008 Republican presidential candidates: John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and Mitt Romney, and not to mention Democratic presidents like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. But one person remained interestingly quiet throughout the race: Sarah Palin.
Why didn’t Palin endorse Scott Brown, fully aware that [...]

Perhaps hoping to boost his 2010 senate reelection bid, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) started airing ads criticizing President Obama’s leftist agenda.
Let’s just say that Sen. McCain got that part right. And he should’ve brought that up time and again during his 2008 presidential campaign against candidate Obama. Maybe he would’ve been the one sitting in [...]

Sarah Palin’s critics — and there are many, many of them — are trying their very best to ignore the news about her upcoming book, Going Rogue. The book is due out November 17 and already #1 on best seller lists. According to people in the publishing business, this is unprecedented.
She may not be governor [...]

Now this is interesting… According to USA Today, areas that supported Obama are receiving twice as much stimulus funds compared to those that supported his opponent, Sen. John McCain:
The reports show the 872 counties that supported Obama received about $69 per person, on average. The 2,234 that supported McCain received about $34.
Okay, so maybe it’s [...]

There has been reports of robocalls to Iowa and New Hampshire residents polling about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Nobody knows who is behind this, but I’m sure the governor will know about the results. Is America ready for Palin after her defeat alongside Sen. John McCain?
The trouble with Palin has been her narrow audience base. [...]

The Democrats won’t be able to attain their 60-seat majority in the Senate as Georgia incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss wins with nearly 60%. My guess is that a lot of Republicans and conservatives came out to vote for fear of the Democratic super-majority threat. It’s good to know that Georgia remains red. The win by [...]

Sen. Ted Stevens has lost re-election in Alaska, defeated by Democratic challenger Mark Begich. Sen. Stevens was the longest running Republican senator in Washington.
Now the Democrats have 58 seats in the Senate. The Georgia runoff race between Saxby Chambliss (R) and Jim Martin (D) is attracting attention from the top. Former President Bill Clinton is [...]

David Sirota writes in Salon for Obama to “go big and go liberal,” claiming that is what the voters want:
… acknowledge their progressive mandate, rather than denying it as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did on Tuesday. “This is not a mandate for a political party or an ideology,” he fearfully told reporters.
They should also [...]

We all know that the Obama campaign did many things right. It energized the youth vote with new voter registration drives. It kept Sen. Biden away from the press in the later weeks. It never allowed the candidate to speak without a teleprompter (when he did, he created the “Joe the Plumber” panic). Undoubtedly a [...]

On stage they seemed to be the perfect maverick combo: McCain the war hero and seasoned senator; Palin the Washington outsider who fought the Republican establishment. But now that the votes have been counted, details are emerging about the tensions between them.

This is another clear example that Republicans need to get their acts together and [...]

So America and the world celebrate Obama’s victory, another orderly and lawful power transition in the United States. Many heralded the end of racism in the country and proof that in America, you can reach your dreams no matter your skin color and background.

As of this posting Obama/Biden won 349 electoral votes vs. McCain/Palin’s 163. [...]

There’s no need to count California’s votes… The state’s 55 electoral votes will go to Obama. (As well Oregon’s seven, Hawaii’s four, and Washington’s 11.)

That puts Obama over the 270 electoral votes necessary to become the next president, and history is made as America will have her first black president.

Congratulations to Obama and his well-run [...]
