Subscribe to RSSNEVADA: A tough New York Times piece on the likely Dem nominee in Nevada’s competitive Senate contest. “Ms. Berkley’s actions were among a series over the last five years in which she pushed legislation or twisted the arms of federal regulators to pursue an agenda that is aligned with the business interests of her husband, Dr. Larry Lehrner. In addition to the hospital contract, he operates a dozen dialysis centers in Nevada and has played a central role in an industry campaign to lobby members of Congress — including his wife — on behalf of kidney care providers.”
WISCONSIN: Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s running for the Senate. "I've heard story after story from people across Wisconsin about how their families and communities have been hurt by the economy. And they feel like no one cares; like no one's listening to them," Baldwin says in a campaign-launch video, per The Hill. "That's why I'm running for the U.S. Senate — to stand up for you, no matter how tough the odds, or how powerful the special interests it means fighting against."

Which Baldwin brother is Tammy?
Media bait and switch?
Apparently Tammy Baldwin has been a representative for many years, and is a strong candidate to run for the Senate in Wisconsin. I hope she wins. The same for Ms. Berkley in Nevada. But it appears no one read the article anyway...
It's not that no one cares, it is just about the populaces growing realization that $$$ don't solve social problems in the manner many lefties think it should. I am sure she will get our gal annas support, regardless.
"Many lefties" Thank you. It seems that all conservatives think that anyone even slightly left of center is a radical, lib, probably socialist. It's nice to see someone acknowledge that, just like their counterparts on the right, it's not one size fits all and that American citizens are complex and diverse. Some of them are also a bit nuts, politically speaking, but that goes for both sides as well.
Other other hand, Republicans stand up for Wall Street, working to keep high taxes and "deregulation" from hampering the most valuable Americans' pursuit of extreme profits. Republicans truly care about their millionaire donors.
Amy wall street has been standing up for Obama. And he has damn well made sure that Goldman Sachs has fared well in this downturn.
The Tea party will drive this country into delusion and poverty if elected. The only policy they offer is prayer. Rick Perry prayed for rain in drought stricken west Texas instead of developing a socialist irrigation system. It rained in New Orleans instead. God has gone from working in mysterious ways to working in downright bizzare ways.
When I think of the Tea party, I think of the mad-hatter of Alice in Wonderland.
Hammerhead : The Tea party will drive this country into delusion and poverty if elected
Too late. Obama and the Dem's have beaten them to it.
Though Herb Kohl has been fine, I really think that Tammy Baldwin will be even better, when Herb steps down. Tammy has done a great job of representing her south-central Wisconsin district. She holds many listening sessions and promptly responds to requests. She stood side by side with us in the cold and snow at the WI state capitol and supported the working man.
Sorry, Tammy; Wisconsin is sick of the greedy radical unions, and will go GOP in 2012.
Greedy, radical unions? The Wisconsin unions agreed to every cut they were asked to make, and the Teapublican governor and legislature still took away their right to negotiate. PS Those "greedy " people are teachers, firefighters, cops and snow plow drivers, and those folks VOTE. Good luck in 2012.
