More midterms: Hoeven’s guarantee

Channeling Friday's First Read, the Christian Science Monitor joins the chorus calling this year’s primaries “the year of the Republican woman dawning.”

In an op-ed for The Hill, Brent Budowsky calls 2010 “the year of the volatile voter.”

NORTH DAKOTA: "Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has guaranteed North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven slots on the Appropriations and Energy and Natural Resources committees if he wins election in November as expected," Roll Call reports.

Isn't this job offer kind of like what the Whouse House is being accussed of doing by the party of sore loser? You Betcha! The repugnant ones would never miss an opportunity to be hypocrites who do exactly what they accuse Democrats of doing.

We'll see just how many of these repugnant one stepford wives actually gets elected in their primaries and then it's a matter of how many survive the general election. Just because more women are running for the party of sore white male losers doesn't mean they'll win.

This seems to be a different type of offer, in that the position is contingent upon winning the election, not withdrawing from it.

      Not that it's relevant to THIS story, but did anyone catch 'squeaky' Hannity saying yesterday that North Korea's acting up, and Israel's acting up, the crashed ecnonomy and the oil well explosion are all problems "of Obama's own making"? WTF?? How do fools like this stay on the air??

        If Hannity is irrelevant then anything he says is irrelevant and believe me he is IRRELEVANT. I use his show for "comedy hour" when I need a good laugh while feeling down. His mantra is "lower taxes, strong national security, all of the above drill here, drill now, drill everywhere but in his yard. He is hate everything Obama 24/7 13 months during the year (laughing).

        This guy is so messed up that the EPA can't clean him!!!!!!!!

          The other day, he acutally said "a....nd people are getting tire of taxes going up and up and up". This was within 2 days of the news report that came out and said taxes were lowest since 1950. I'm telling you- he's full of it clear up to his eyebrows.
