Gettin' crowded in here: Dodd declares for President

Posted by Jim Addison · Published: January 13, 2007

In a move that surprised fewer and excited fewer, Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd declared his candidacy for President in 2008.

Posted by Alexander K. McClure · Published: November 7, 2006

Republicans who remember how the mainstream media polls said that it wasn't going to be close in 2002 and 2004 need to ignore those polls and go out and vote today. There is a chance that Dick DeVos and Michael Bouchard could make become the stories of the evening. ... [Full Story]

The Evans-Novak report has some good news regarding the Steele race. Maryland: The momentum in this race has all been going one way for weeks now. The problem is that for a Republican in Maryland, there is always such a long way to go. Not only has Lt. Gov. Michael... [Full Story]

Pennsylvania Senate - Poll shows Santorum closing

Posted by Jim Addison · Published: November 6, 2006 · Comments (1)

A new poll from McCulloch Research and Polling shows Rick Santorum closing to within 4 points.

Still, I have my doubts... [Full Story]

2006 New Jersey Senate Race

Posted by Alexander K. McClure · Published: November 6, 2006

Republicans here who are discouraged that Tom Kean Jr. is down from 3 to 8 points should not give up hope. You need to re-double your efforts. If Kean can't win here, no Republican can. There seems to be some good news too to make headlines tomorrow. "U.S. Sen. Robert... [Full Story]

Alexander McClure and Ed Torres have elaborated on their views of the Senate races below; here's my take: First of all, the late surge by Republicans nationwide could not come at a better time.

2006 Senate Races Update

Posted by Alexander K. McClure · Published: November 5, 2006 · Comments (2)

Here is my thinking at this hour. The GOP has surged in the past few days and is now down around 5 points in the polls, perhaps less, perhaps more. The big question is what effect the verdict in the Saddam Hussein trial will have on voters. If the momentum... [Full Story]
