    Senator Pridemore on Health Care

    While I disagree with Senator Pridemore that a bad bill with a couple of good provisions is better than no bill at all, Craig deserves praise for staking out a very clear position on health care reform.  The Democrats have to pass legislation that will provide health care at a reasonable cost to both businesses and individuals.  It [...]



    Deb Wallace Withdraws From 3rd Congressional Race

    Top Two Primary System is Flawed

    Citing a desire to not “thin the field of Democrats” in the primary, Deb Wallace withdrew from the 3rd district race to replace Rep. Brian Baird.  This is yet another example of why the “top two” primary system is undermining the electoral process.  If we did not have political parties, the top two primary would make sense.  [...]

    Run Hedrick Run

    The possibility of David Hedrick, spokesman for the angry Town Hall mob locally, running against Brian Baird in the next election cycle is intriguing.  Since there are already two other possible Republican contenders, it means there would be 3 R candidates running in the primary.

    If another Democrat enters the race and challenges Baird, that would mean the republican vote would be chopped into [...]



    Baird Puts his Foot in his Mouth...Again

    Image via Wikipedia

    One would think that after the last town hall sessions where his anti-war constituents tore into him in a big way, Representative Baird would be tiptoeing around trying to stay out of the war zone. But no. Now he has compared the health care reform opponents to Nazis:

    “What we’re seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics,” [...]
