It’s easy to forget that there’s anyone running for office this year besides Barack Obama and John McCain. I received a sample ballot for my county this week and was almost shocked to see other names on the paper.

I’m particularly interested in one of the two constitutional amendments for the state of Maryland, but I’ve been spending a little time online looking at all …read more

Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to lift the federal moratorium that has prevented offshore drilling on most of the U.S. coastline for the past three decades.

The race for my congressional district (Maryland’s 7th) isn’t …read more

Last month, Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was indicted on charges of corruption. In the midst of fighting those charges, Stevens is running for his seventh Senate term.
He rolled out his first ad this week — which I keep replaying just to hear the last line: “Without Ted, we’re toast.”

Bill Gwatney, the chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party, died at 3:59 this afternoon. A gunman entered his office this morning and shot him several times.
The gunman’s identity is still unknown.

Police have reported that the suspect in the shooting at the Arkansas Democratic Party died. The police had chased the subject for approximately 20 miles. He then got out of his vehicle and began shooting at officers, who returned fire. The suspect’s identity has not been released.
