It's hard to reconcile the fundamental contradiction of so many government-hating teabagger candidates who so desperately want to be in government. Witness Colorado governor candidate and insane person Tom Tancredo.
While explaining that he is interested in Colorado’s Proposition 60, which would limit how taxes can be raised in the state and...
As the mercury mercifully returns to double digits here on the Southern California coast, the heat does not abate on the campaign front. Tuesday brings another 35 polls to the 2010 database, with almost half of them emanating from somewhere within the vast Rasmussen empire. We also get internal polling from both parties that runs...
It's been a while since we checked in on this year's most diverting race, that between Republican Dan Maes and former Republican-current Constitution Party candidate, Tom Tancredo.
One part of the story is just kind of sad.
DENVER – Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes reported raising only $14,000 in the...
As we reach midweek, we get another day of numerical downpours, with another 28 polls added to the mix today. CNN/Opinion Research provides a pretty sizeable dollop of data (seven polls), and the results bring new relevance to Sunday's discussion about the gap between registered and likely voters. If, as was the trend in...
While the confetti has long been swept up from the victory parties all over the East Coast (well...Wisconsin excepted), there was actual news and data emanating from other races. Which means that we have a pretty darned full edition of the Wrap for this Wednesday evening.
We have the SurveyUSA buzzkill tour going coast-to-coast,...
To recap the melodrama of the Colorado governor's race:
The Colorado governor's race: the gift that just keeps on giving.
Tancredo’s third-party candidacy is garnering him anything but love from the conservative base. Immediately after announcing his entry, Colorado Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams and 21 state Tea Party leaders pummeled Tancredo for siphoning votes away from a potential...
Yeah, I know...I made a big deal Monday night about how I'd be out until Thursday because of a little trip to the surgeon. But, heck, how was I to know that every campaign in America would get polled on Tuesday and Wednesday?!
So, bandaged and bruised, I came back a day early. And,...
The House of Rasmussen returns to form on this Thursday evening, as new non-Ras polling out of the Keystone State hints that Pennsylvania could be ground zero for great races in the 2010 election cycle.
All that, and more, in the Thursday edition of the Wrap.

As hard as it might be to believe, we are already one-third of the way through 2010. On this first day of May, we look at a campaign cycle that grows ever more busy. As a result, it will not be long before the Wrap ramps it up to a five-day-a-week feature again.
In...
Could a little-known city councilman score an upset and flip a Senate seat to the Dems? Rasmussen thinks so, if the GOP nominee is conservative insurgent J.D. Hayworth. Don't worry, though, the Ras-ster returns to form elsewhere.
Also, you'll be surprised by the incumbent Senator who got outraised by his challenger this quarter, and...
Sure, you could be out enjoying a lovely early Spring evening, but with the Wrap as chock-full of political goodness as it is today, why would you want to leave the house?
