AR-Sen: Blanche Lincoln’s hazy memory
The nation's most unpopular senator still refuses to own up to her failures.
Speaking to Arkansas Public Radio in Little Rock on Monday, the chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee appeared to blame Lt. Gov. Bill Halter and the swarm of outside groups that backed his insurgent bid for her current perilous...
Polling and Political Wrap, 10/20/10
With contributions from The Hill and CNN, it is a fairly busy Wednesday on the Wrap. In all, we are looking at 39 polls from coast-to-coast.

Polling and Political Wrap, 9/22/10

Also, we have...in 2010...an advocate of Eugenics...
Polling and Political Wrap-Up, 9/16/10
Thursday night brings the veritable buffet of polling data, as no less than sixteen polls grace this edition of the Wrap. It is way too early to draw any conclusions about a trend or a shift in momentum, but it is hard not to notice that there is a considerably reduced amount of suck in...
