WASHINGTON — Rep. Patrick Kennedy has decided not to seek re-election after eight terms in Congress, saying his life is "taking a new direction" just months after the death of his father and mentor, Sen. Edward Kennedy. The Rhode Island Democrat taped a message with his decision to be aired on Rhode Island's television stations Sunday night. The Associated Press viewed the message Thursday, ahead of the announcement. "Now having spent two decades in politics, my life is taking a new direction, and I will not be a candidate for re-election this year," Kennedy says. The decision comes less than a month after a stunning upset by Republican Scott Brown in the ...

FORT WAYNE, IN (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Former U.S. Senator Dan Coats confirmed this morning that he will run for U.S. Senate. During a live interview with Charly Butcher on WOWO radio Coats said his campaign is "up and running, with thousands of volunteers on the ground". The campaign is still collecting the necessary signatures to enter the Republican primary in May. The former 4th District Congressman said he never expected to be back in politics, but the recent turn the country has taken concerned him, leading him to enter the race. Since word of a possible run by Coats surfaced, Democrats came out quickly labeling Coats as a lobbyist and questioning his recent ties to ...

PHOENIX — J. D. Hayworth is a large man, and to compensate for his indulgences, he hits the elliptical trainer every morning at 4, zipping along to an incongruous soundtrack of Elvis Costello, Frank Sinatra and old advertising jingles. Until recently, he would then repair to a local radio station, where he would spend the better part of the day denouncing, in no particular order, illegal immigrants, all things Barack Obama, those who are insufficiently patriotic and, his favorite mark, one John McCain, the senior senator from Arizona. Now, Mr. Hayworth, a former Republican congressman, is preparing to expand his political appetite for Mr. McCain by formally announcing next week what ...
Debra Medina News; Independent Texans Proudly Endorses Debra Medina for Texas Governor

Source: Public Policy Polling Could the Republican primary for Governor in Texas end up in a runoff between Rick Perry...and Debra Medina? Medina is coming on strong and polls now at 24%, just four points behind Kay Bailey Hutchison's 28%. Perry continues to hold a double digit advantage at 39%. Medina is clearly riding the wave of discontent with the Republican establishment. Among primary voters who disapprove of the job the GOP in Congress is doing she actually leads with 37% to 32% for Perry and 22% for Hutchison. The problem for Medina is those folks only account for a third of the electorate and among the majority who are happy with the Republicans in Washington she's in a ...
Sarah Palin has her sights on the White House not Tea Party movement

Sarah Palin has given the clearest indication yet that her ambition is to become President of the United States, rather than merely the leader of the radical grassroots Tea Party movement that adores her. The day after her return to national politics with a barnstorming attack on President Obama in a speech in Nashville, Mrs Palin was shown a poll yesterday ranking her the top Republican candidate for 2012 and asked if she would run. “I would,” she said without hesitation. “I would, if I believed that that was the right thing to do for my country and for my family.” In an interview with Fox News, for which she is also a paid analyst, Mrs Palin said that it would be ...

She's baaack! Sarah Palin launches her next political journey at a Tennessee Tea Party

Back by popular demand in some areas, ex-Mayor Sarah Palin will soon be popping up at a rally near many of us. And, no, this isn't about selling the book, although savvy local bookstores should stock up. First up is the national Tea Party Convention in Nashville on Saturday night, a time usually reserved on cable TV for stale stories of missing persons and Geraldo Rivera exposes. So, let's see, as a TV producer, which would you choose to lure in idling weekend eyeballs: News rehashes or Sarah Palin addressing a crowd of fervent anti-tax people the night before the Super Bowl? Even a Harvard grad could figure that one out. Hence, check your local politically extreme cable channel ...
Medina Appeals to Some West Texans in Andrews

ANDREWS - The election primaries are fast approaching and Republican Gubernatorial hopeful Debra Medina may at first look like a little fish out to meet the sharks when stacked up to her opponents Governor Rick Perry and U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. But this little fish is acting a lot more like a piranha than a guppy as she fearlessly takes on two of the biggest political names in the state. Medina was in West Texas this weekend and the fresh face politician is already proving herself to some West Texan supporters. "Understand that freedom requires eternal vigilance," Medina said. "We've got to pay attention to what's happening around us." Those were ...

WILMINGTON, N.C., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- A former U.S. Marine officer acquitted of killing two Iraqis announced Thursday he is a candidate for Congress in North Carolina. Ilario Pantano plans to seek the Republican nomination in the seventh district, now represented by Democrat Mike McIntyre, WECT-TV in Wilmington reported. "Anybody's background in a political race is fair game," Pantano said. "My life has been more dramatic and kinetic than any other candidate's." After his acquittal five years ago, Pantano wrote a memoir, "Warlord." He has also been a commodity trader for Goldman Sachs. Will Breazeale, who was defeated by McIntyre two years ago, is also ...
[Meg] Whitman disavows "proud racist" councilman

A Santa Clarita councilman has declared that he is a “proud racist.” But Meg Whitman, a Republican candidate for governor, is apparently not proud to have his endorsement. After state Democrats called on her to address the remarks by Councilman Bob Kellar, Whitman’s campaign disavowed them today and removed his name from a lengthy list of supporters on her website. "Bob Kellar's remarks stoke the worst type of political dialogue," campaign spokeswoman Sarah Pompei said in a statement. “Meg is running for governor to help bring Californians together for a common purpose. Mr. Kellar's comments are unacceptable. He has voluntarily ended his limited ...

Andrew Young Tells '20/20' About Private Jets, Mansions, 5-Star Hotels, a BMW Used in Elaborate Scheme; 'Money Was No Object' When presidential contender John Edwards decided he had to hide his mistress and her pregnancy from his wife -- and from the voters -- he concocted an elaborate scheme to keep the scandal a secret, according to the once-loyal aide who helped smuggle the woman through a series of luxurious hideaways. Wealthy benefactors were called on and their sizable contributions funded the lavish life on the lam. "I know of at least a million dollars. And there was much, much more," said Andrew Young of the scheme that brought him to testify in front of ...

“You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war” William Randolph Hearst There will be war…and there will be pictures. There will be death and destruction, misery and pain. But as the United States, Israel and Britain expand their empires, don’t expect to see footage of tanks draped in skulls rolling down urban streets as howling soldiers mow down anything that moves while gyrating to the beat of speed-metal-deathcore-rap. Don’t expect to see pictures of a weeping mother caressing the heads of her two dead sons among the rubble of her meager dwelling. War is hell. War is ugly. But the next war-brought to you in part by the state of Israel-will be poised ...
The Earthquake that Shook Massachusetts

The election of Republican Scott Brown to the senate seat formerly held by the late Democratic scion Ted Kennedy (who dominated Massachusetts and national politics since 1962) is sending a shock wave through the nation’s Capitol devastating to the political fortunes of leading Democrats, particularly the President, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Unlike the hapless Haitians who have fallen prey to the awful power of nature, the Democratic leadership is reaping what it sowed. The victory of Brown over state Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley now leaves the Democrats reeling, highly uncertain about the ground beneath their feet. They staked ...

White House reportedly recruits David Plouffe to take on an expanded role as an outside adviser just days after Brown election. David Plouffe, Barack Obama's campaign manager during the 2008 Presidential election, will take on an expanded role as an outside adviser to the White House, the Washington post reported Saturday. The news comes just days after Republican Scott Brown won a Massachusetts Senate special election in an upset over Democrat Marcia Coakley, leading to speculation that Plouffe is stepping into an advisory role in order to bolster Democrats’ political operations in the upcoming 2010 elections. In an opinion piece scheduled to appear in Sunday’s Washington ...
John McCain: Palin's Political Bridge to Nowhere

John McCain: Palin's Political Bridge to Nowhere By Steve Flesher Sarah Palin's decision to campaign for John McCain's reelection bid is dismaying some of her staunchest allies and defenders on the web. This serves as a much-uninvited buzz-kill to conservatives, who finally had the beam of hope shone on them Tuesday night. Grassroots conservatism made a historic comeback with Scott Brown, who defeated Martha Coakley for Edward Kennedy's Senate seat in the very liberal state of Massachusetts. Aside from her personal allegiance to John McCain, it is incomprehensible what Palin thinks this will do for the country or her political career, which has made her one of the main ...
Biz, unions freed to spend big on elections

WASHINGTON (AP) - A bitterly divided Supreme Court vastly increased the power of big business and unions to influence government decisions Thursday by freeing them to spend their millions directly to sway elections for president and Congress. The ruling reversed a century-long trend to limit the political muscle of corporations, organized labor and their massive war chests. It also recast the political landscape just as crucial midterm election campaigns are getting under way. In its sweeping 5-4 ruling, the court set the stage for a wave of likely repercussions—from new pressures on lawmakers to heed special interest demands to increasingly boisterous campaigns featuring highly ...

Political Earthquake Rocks Massachusetts - by Stephen Lendman For the moment, millions of Haitians don't matter. For Washington and the West, they never did and don't now. It's pretense, a topic a forthcoming article will explore. Today, however, the Massachusetts political earthquake takes precedence, and headlines explain it. From the Boston Globe: "Big win for Brown....Voter anger caught fire in final days." How can it be, asks the Globe, that "an obscure state senator with an unremarkable record" (became) a household name across the country by the end of the abbreviated campaign." From the Financial Times: "Democrats suffer blow in ...

Sarah Palin to campaign for John McCain in Arizona Palin, the former Alaska governor who was McCain's vice presidential running mate last year, will campaign for McCain's re-election bid as a senator from Arizona in March, the senator said in a statement on Wednesday. There has been plenty of sniping between the Palin and McCain camps after they lost the election to Democrat Barack Obama but McCain and Palin themselves have remained on friendly terms. "I'm looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail with my former running mate, and I know my fellow Arizonans will welcome her as well," McCain said. "Sarah energized our nation and remains a leading ...

Cambridge, Massachusetts—In 1989, at the apogee of his exceedingly rebellious teenage years, my brother’s band released their first full-length record (1,000 copies, available on both black and red vinyl). To be iconoclastic in the suburbs of Boston—especially the progressive pocket where we grew up—was rather difficult. Everyone in high school smoked pot and drank beer, and everyone’s parents had stumped for Mike Dukakis the previous year. So the hardcore punk band in which he played drums was “straight edge”—i.e., no booze or drugs allowed (a commandment he abandoned the following year)—and the record would open with the song “Nuke the ...
