Democrat Rep. Edward Markey was elected Tuesday to fill the Senate seat vacated by John Kerry‘s appointment as Secretary of State. Markey got 55 percent of the vote to 45 percent for Republican newcomer Gabriel Gomez. The Massachusetts election had been viewed as a bellwether for next year’s mid-term elections.  In January 2010, Republican Scott Brown‘s upset victory in the state’s special election to fill late Sen. Ted Kennedy‘s seat […]

A new, somewhat-powerful leader has been elected in Iran to succeed current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Mood against Congress makes Democrat Ed Markey surprisingly vulnerable with June 25 special election barely three weeks away, according to a new analysis from the non-partisan Cook Report.

Anna Pierre says she had a ‘revelation’ that the Son of God wants her to be mayor of North Miami, Florida. Also, she says she’s been targeted by voodoo sorcery: ‘I’m from Haiti. I know what it is.’

2012 was by all accounts a grueling election year. Scott Walker’s recall election, a brutal Republican primary and hyper-active general election all played their part in election overload. Naturally, C-SPAN enjoyed higher ratings as a result, and they’ve decided to stack as many cars on the 2016 election train as possible. C-SPAN began their “Road to the White House” series over the weekend, nearly 18 months ahead of schedule. Featuring […]

If Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seeks the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, New York Gov.

Former-NY-Gubernational-Turned-NYC-Mayoral Candidate, and self-proclaimed ninja, Jimmy McMillan, a.k.a. “The Rent is Too Damn High Guy,” is back in the public eye with a new anthem, and corresponding music video, intended to lure the voters to pull his lever (instead of, for example, Anthony Weiner’s… lever) come election day.

Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner has once again telegraphed that he may run for mayor of New York City this year, re-issuing a booklet outlining his policy ideas, the New York Times reports: As he seeks to extend the discussion about a possible candidacy for mayor — and shift attention away from the online sex-messaging scandal that cost him his Congressional seat — Anthony D. Weiner released a 21-page policy […]

Joe Miller, who narrowly lost a Tea Party-backed challenge to Alaska’s Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski four years ago, is preparing a possible 2014 campaign against Democrat Sen. Mark Begich. In an announcement on his Restoring Liberty site, Miller named three recently-elected senators popular with Tea Party activists as examples. “We need a candidate in 2014 who will join reformers like Rand Paul, Mike Lee,  and Ted Cruz to confront President Obama, not one who […]

Controversy erupted last week over a “green jobs” business founded by Terry McAuliffe, the former Democratic National Committee chairman who is now running for governor of Virginia. GreenTech Automotive (GTA), the company McAuliffe started in 2009, has filed an $85 million libel lawsuit against Watchdog.org, a project of the non-profit Franklin Center for Government & Public Integrity, for an article critical of GTA’s use of “an immigrant-investor program to raise […]
