After emerging out of nowhere over the summer as a seemingly potent and growing political force, the tea party movement has become embroiled in internal feuding over philosophy, strategy and money and is at risk of losing its momentum.
The grass-roots activists driving the movement have become increasingly divided on such core questions as whether to focus their efforts on shaping policy debates or elections, work on a local, regional, state or national level or closely align themselves with the Republic

Given that the Rasmussen poll in question had some data that hinted at a GOP skew (the 55% job approval for President Obama, for example), the news on the Senate race has to be considered very good news for Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer.
In the new Rasmussen poll, she leads both of her likely Republican challengers (Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore) by nearly identical margins.
She leads Fiorina by nine (46-37) and leads Devore by a ten-point margin (49-39).

Bo Lipari, the former executive director of New Yorkers for Verified Voting, has debunked The Gouverneur Times' claim of a "virus" in the computerized voting systems that skewed the results of the 23rd Congressional District race.
Mr. Lipari notes, as I did last week , that a problem occurred in Dominion machines that caused them to freeze when certain vote combinations in mulitiple candidate elections were entered.
The elections monitor called the result a "bad news-good news-bad news-good news" situ

Last April 15, Tea Parties were respectfully attended.
The health care mini-mobs, which the Tea Party movement helped fuel, generated an avalanche of media attention, but most of the forums attracted crowds in the hundreds and occasionally in the thousands, which is rather modest for a supposedly national movement in a country of nearly 300 million.
And of course, when the Tea Party followers staged its Sept. 12, anti-Obama rally in Washington, D.C., organizers and supporters, perhaps disappointed by th

Just when you thought it was safe to step out of the ballot booth, the hotly contested special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District simply will not die.
The latest ripple in the story is that a computer virus reportedly infected a handful of machines in Hamilton County.
Cathleen Rogers, the Democratic Elections Commissioner in Hamilton County stated that they discovered a problem with their voting machines the week prior to the election and that the "virus" was fixed by a Technical Suppo

My great grandfather, my grandfather & my father were all Republicans in District 23. I am sure that they would support Hoffman over the GOP pick.

Until Americans remember that we are all AMERICANS first before black, white, hispanic, or asian, rich or poor, gay or straight, man or woman, muslim or christian, conservative or liberal or ANY OTHER SPECIAL INTEREST in between, we will continue to fall and and to fail as a country. OUR founding fathers had it right; ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUALLY! The past is the past and we cannot do anything to change it. We must all raise up as bigger people and forgive as the Lord would want us to do. Collectively we are more powerful than any force on the planet. Divided, as Washington has gotten us, and we all suffer what we needent, and we needent. But so long as we march divided they will march on ALL of our necks. NO ONE WILL BE SPARED! No one. Everyone, realize the REAL meaning of Martin Luther King's dream; the dream of every man to close his eyes and talk amoungst themselves seeing NOT the color of the skin, but to hear the content in the man's charactor; to judge not on the race but the content. Not to judge into contempt for one another but to disagree calmly and drink a beer with them. Dr. King still has the dream and IT IS NOT Barrack Obama. It is all of us joining hand in hand at the table of brotherhood with no hatred of one another. Besides, being racist or a bigot is a waste of time considering who you could be a friend with instead.
