The NRSC has been forced to pull an ad from the airwaves and Internets featuring a few hicks at a local diner talking about the Senate race in West Virginia. Normally nobody in Washington or West Virginia would think twice about this, because West Virginia is full of hicks, and everyone knows that. But Democrats [...]

What makes this ad so effective is the haunting soundtrack, which was lifted from a Lifetime made-for-teevee documentary about date rape. Remember, NRSC: You’re not a victim, you’re a survivor.

So here is DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse on ABC’s Web show “Top Line,” not knowing the name of whatever lame dude the Democrats managed to scrape together to run against Teabag Arctic Fox Joe Miller, and so the NRSC is spreading this around to show how much cooler they are. “Democrats are the real [...]

The Republican Party has taken this movie trailer meme and really run with it. Oh, did you think this summer was rather boring in terms of political news? YOU THOUGHT WRONG. That music that plays in slow-motion terrorism movies is playing, and it seems our black president is raising money for his party’s candidates as [...]

As we wait to see whether all 41 Republicans will hold their pledge to vote against even debating a bill to at least monitor some of Wall Street’s saddest practices, we must consider this new NRSC video, which says, “the Democrats get money from Wall Street.” Why aren’t people listening to the Republicans, who have [...]

As far as sarcastic lying political web-only videos go, this one from the National Republican Senatorial Committee is awesome. APRIL FOOL’S! But then again, they’ve made worse.

Alexi Giannoulias is a Democrat running for Senate in Illinois. Here is the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s anti-Alexi Giannoulias attack ad that is basically season two of the Wire (the Greeks, not the Poles or the blacks) plus the Sopranos finale, minus Journey, divided by Rod Blagojevich.

Will Sarah Palin appear at a fancy fundraiser tonight for the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee? No way in hell, unless she changes her mind! First she was invited to headline at the event, and she said yes, but then she said no because she was so “overexposed,” so events [...]

We all know that the Republicans control Twitter, but it looks like they’re working on Facebook now. It would be astonishing, though, if the failed committee responsible for losing more than a dozen Senate seats in the last two elections were to get 2 “supporters” on Facebook.

Not that Al Franken is any great shakes, but you’d think that if the NRSC wanted to put out a “Hollywood Stars against Franken”-themed ad then they could’ve drummed up a better coterie than a forgotten SNL cast member from 20 years ago, a lesser Baldwin, two other guys we’ve never heard of in our [...]
