…by the GOP and it needs to be posted in every single congressional district in the country.
If republicans don’t do this then it’s only because they are not paying attention or trying.
If they do this then democrats won’t keep 100 seats.

You’ve got to be kidding me

Michael Graham has been following the McGovern campaign and what he is hearing is unbelievable:
I like to think I’m a jaded, cynical observer of Massachusetts politics, but when I read Rep. Jim McGovern’s claim to support cracking down on illegal immigration, I literally gasped out loud.
McGovern told the MetroWest Daily News that he “wants improved border security, visa monitoring and workplace enforcement and a streamlined process for coming to the country legally.”
Remember this is Massachusetts, the big liberal state that supposedly wouldn’t care about an issue like this, the state that the NYT insists there is no chance for any Republican to win in congress this year and McGovern is suddenly talking tough on immigration? But it gets better!
After repeated Internet searches, I couldn’t find one. So I called McGovern’s press office and asked them to send me a record of any such votes. Among other things, his office sent me – no joke – McGovern’s co-sponsorship of the House version of the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill of 2007.emphasis mine
So he is counting supporting Amnesty as a vote to enforce immigration, and he expects the people of Massachusetts 3rd district to fall for that? There are 10 colleges in Worcester Mass. alone, do you think that some of them might be able to read his record?
If that’s not a reason to support Marty Lamb in ma-3 I’d like to know what is?
And Yes he was once a democrat, don’t forget, so was I, so was he and so was this guy.
Maybe it’s just me but it doesn’t take the brightest blub in the house…

…to figure out that Sarah Palin might be running for president in 2012.
Yeah it’s not official until it’s announced. Neither is Mitt Romney’s (nobody is calling him coy).
I’ve read the post in question and I’ve read the e-mail and everybody is making a whole not of fuss about something that looks like a whole lot of nothing to me.
Yeah someone leaked an e-mail, yeah supporters of her rivals for the nomination might be trying to hurt Palin’s chances and yeah if I’m Todd Palin I’m pissed off at his friend who dissed his wife.
But this is no more of a bombshell than the idea that you might not want to sit next to my brother after he has a large Mexican meal.
The fact that this is the top story on Memeorandum does say this: If Sarah Palin announces for the republican nomination she is the defacto front-runner. Democrats ought to be damn scared but some republican establishment types are more scared.
Why? Because she means it!

In the 3rd district there are actually 3 candidates for that congressional seat. In addition to Marty Lamb and Jim McGovern we have an independent candidate Pat Barron.
I’m not sure I buy the 3rd party argument, but if you do his site is here.
