ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS HAVE REAL WINNER ON THEIR TICKET: Uhh… “It turns out the winner of the Democrats’ lieutenant Governor’s primary in Illinois has a pretty nasty assault rap for attacking his girlfriend back in 2005. According to police reports he slammed her head against a wall and left ‘mild abrasions from [a] knife wound’ on [...]
The 2010 midterm elections are only a few years or months away, and everyone is so excited to meet the latest batch of monsters preparing to ennoble our next Congress with their presence! Expect nine million posts just like this in the coming months. Who do we meet today? Well, a certain South Carolina county [...]
Gross: “Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo appears to be inching closer to getting into the Colorado gubernatorial race. While he has yet to formally declare his candidacy or fill out paperwork with the secretary of state’s office, the Littleton Republican on Thursday told a Westword reporter he ‘fully intends to run.’” Watch his first “spot” [...]
A New Jersey operative, “Leslie,” sends us a couple of scans and writes, “My father just called me and asked if I had read the 500 word essay on the NJ Governor’s Sample Ballot. I just did, and it is such beautiful madness, I had to share it with you.” It is a completely great [...]
We do not where several tipsters first heard about this website for “George Hutchins,” a crazy person supposedly running for a North Carolina congressional seat in 2010, but it is very pretty to be sure.

Her name is Martha Coakley and she has been the state’s Attorney General since 2006. We checked out her Wikipedia [...]
Vote Krystal Ball for Congress, Virginia District 1! She’s 27 and had a baby at some point and this changed everything. “I said to myself, enough. I vowed, ‘I will protect Ella and all the babies like her in the First District of Virginia and throughout the country.’” Blah blah blah GREAT, Wonkette officially endorses [...]
In early March, a gal named Rosanna Pulido won the Republican primary for the upcoming special congressional election in Illinois’ District 5, Rahm Emanuel’s former kingdom. She will lose. But not before making the funnies! She was the founder of the Illinois chapter of the Minutemen, because she *hates* the Mexicans. Once in a CNN [...]
A delightfully insane person has e-mailed us and approximately 400 other tip or info lines asking politely if he can be Senator from New York. He wants to take over for two years until Chelsea Clinton is 30 and can rightfully claim her seat. You must read (skim) his full blog post about this. “Oh- [...]
Here’s a hilarious new ad from Tennessee Democratic House candidate Nikki Tinker, which is the latest in her long history of comical antisemitism against Rep. Steve Cohen, a J-O-O. She tells him to get out of “OUR churches,” where he campaigns. Ha ha, she asks, “WHO IS THE REAL STEVE COHEN ANYWAY?” This is so [...]
