Welcome to the weekend, political junkies. I know you all have been waiting with anticipation for a preview of the Idaho primaries coming up this week. Alas, it is not to be.
What we do have, however, is Rasmussen going batshit crazy. I'd love to lay down some political wagers using Rasmussen as the...
Rasmussen has its most Ras-like day in ages (wait till you see the Marco Rubio SURGE!), while a host of other pollsters are chiming in with numbers about tomorrow's electoral battles. There are also a smattering of campaign stories of note, both in races on tomorrow's fight card and beyond.
All that, and more,...
We are, at this stage of the game, nearly four months into the 2010 election cycle, which began in earnest on a January night in Massachusetts.
Tuesday night might be the most high-interest night in the cycle since that winter evening in the Bay State, as five states head to the polls. In every...
No...your eyes do not deceive you. Just in time for the spirited final six months of the 2010 election cycle, the Wrap returns to its glory days as a five-day-a-week feature. Expect the Wrap to grace your evening reading list every Monday through Thursday, with a Weekend edition, to boot, coming up on every Saturday.
...It's rare that a move likely to concede a seat to Republicans is the best choice for Democrats, but that may be the case here:
It's official: The DCCC will be pulling out of the Hawaii special House election, a free-for-all with two Dems and one Republican, because neither Dem will agree...
Given the dearth of a mid-week Wrap (apologies for the technical difficulties), the weekend edition of the Wrap is fairly enormous, as would be expected.
The narrative in recent weeks has been that there might be some change in the climate for Democrats. At a minimum, the steady stream of bleak news and abysmal...
Usually, the Monday edition of the Wrap is the most pedestrian one of the week. After all, how much can accumulate in one inbox after a Saturday, a Sunday, and a Monday morning?
Um...this week? That answer would be "a lot". Get ready for a chock-full Monday edition of the Wrap.

A reasonably quiet Sunday and Monday in the world o'politics, so this is a fairly quick edition of the Wrap. The Ras-a-palooza is still bearish on Charlie Crist, but bullish on Democrat Richard Blumenthal in Connecticut. Some bleak data in Nevada, and some tough numbers to interpret out of Pennsylvania. All this and more graces...
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?

Wow, this would be explosive:
House Democrats are considering backing former Rep. Ed Case in Hawaii’s competitive winner-take-all special election next month, a move that would run counter to the endorsements of the Aloha State’s two Senators.
Several sources with knowledge of the situation said that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee...
For those of you who have gone into campaign minutiae withdrawal, there is good news: The Wrap is back. With primaries on the horizon and the real world (aka my day job) interfering a bit, it looks like the Wrap will be a three day a week feature for the next few months. So, expect...
