From Mud-Flats, Crunching the Numbers in Alaska
In 2004, 66% of registered voters turned out to vote in the presidential election between George Bush and John Kerry.
In 2008, including the votes still outstanding, only 54% of registered voters turned out.

Huh? Lower turnout in the biggest election Alaska [...]

Thinking About Bill

As I listened to Sarah Palin’s recent phone call with "Nicolas Sarkozy," I couldn’t help thinking about Bill Kristol.
I think about Bill Kristol far too much. I [...]

Bush and many others need to be tried in a court of justice. Justice and Rule of Law are the cornerstones of democracy.
And the process began some time ago, driven NOT by democrats, but by good republicans. Here is the list of Republican indictments since 1998.
Lets be honest, the number should at least [...]

It’s not the filibuster-proof 60, but it’s awfully close.
Associated Press:
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Democrat Jeff Merkley has ousted Republican Sen. Gordon Smith, a victory once considered unlikely against an incumbent who had highlighted his efforts to work across the aisle in hopes of surviving a wave of anti-GOP sentiment.
Smith’s loss — the first for an [...]

…I know I am, but what are you?
Somebody tell me: if we think we “are intellectually superior”, than what does the right think about themselves? Remember Gayle Quinnell? Who is HER intellectual superior?….Hmmm?
If we are “closed-minded” and “hostile”, what are they?
Why is it that while there are so manyvideos of ignorant, [...]

All politics is local, and when Lisa Johnson came to my door asking for help in her campaign for the Utah House of Representatives I resolved to do my due diligence this year. Today I walked a precinct in Sandy for Lisa, who is just the kind of representative you want in the state [...]

There’s been a great deal of talk about corruption in politics. The last 8 years have seen a truly shocking level of corruption in government - from the Republicans K Street Project, to the Bushies’ endless politicizing of every aspect of government starting with no bid contracts for any firm connected to the Administration [...]

Maybe Reid and Pelosi are smarter than we thought…

The attorneys in the case have said that Connell’s testimony may well lead to the subpoenaing and under-oath questioning of Karl Rove, who, they say, would be unable to use Executive Privilege as an excuse to avoid such a subpoena in a civil RICO case…

I wish Ken [...]

In case there is any doubt that the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen…
After many months and many requests and many challenges from both critics and Mainstream Media types, The St. Petersburg Times reports — and The BRAD BLOG can confirm — that Clint Curtis took a polygraph test on March 3rd, 2005…and passed!

‘There are strange things done in the midnight sun . . .’
The New York Times reports that Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens returned home to a hero’s welcome. Hundreds of supporters cheered while Stevens vowed to appeal his felony convictions and asked voters to re-elect him.
Top Republicans including John McCain and Sarah Palin have called [...]

When I was a child, election night was a strange mystery. My parents disappeared soon after dinner and didn’t return until they done the arcane process of voting. It simply happened.
The first election of which I have any memories was 1976. I thought Jimmy Carter’s smile was too broad and [...]

The republicans are going to throw a temper tantrum (again) after the election if things don’t go enough in their favor. They are going to shout about Acorns and Voter Fraud. I know this for sure because John McCain brought it up in the last debate with Obama. He said the democrats were going to [...]
