Martha Coakley simply hasn’t run much of a campaign, assuming that Teddy’s seat was hers as the next appointed, or is it anointed, one. However, in [...]
In a field that doesn’t seem to have any clear favorites, Gringrich says that his name should be on the short list of possible GOP candidates for the 2012 Presidential election.

The latest body blow to Harry Reid’s chances of keeping his Senate seat came this weekend when it was reported that he referred to then candidate Senator Barack Obama’s “light skin” and lack of “negro dialect”, except when Obama wanted to have a “negro dialect.” While his 2008 comments have created a nation wide commotion, [...]

Melting polar ice caps, disappearing glaciers, vanishing seals, and a disturbing shift of a very warm gulf stream, very far north.
