Matthews was ribbing Brady asking about how much street money they paid people today. Brady says he can't say how much people get paid because different people get different amounts because they're more important and he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Then Matthews asks if a good committeewoman gets $150, and Brady goes, "People don't leave the house for $150." :lol:

it really is quite sad.

ed schultz's recent poll question is hilarious. 'is there an anti-incumbent sentiment in the us?' 'is the sky blue'?

Bob Casey's now on, my favorite secret liberal agent
side note: I do wish Sestak just didn't run and instead went for reelection in the house. he would've easily won that seat that is now up for grabs.

Here's the thing that Bob Shrum and other Democrats rooting for Rand Paul need to think about: Is Rand Paul being able to obstruct Senate business for 6 years worth a slightly better (still not good) chance at electing a Democrat in November?

Bob Shrum? Fuck, I thought he died. What a stupid, incompetent fool.

I'm going to a watch party for a candidate I didn't vote for. I hope there's some good snacks there.

Rand Paul riffing about Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales using stopping climate change as an excuse to destroy capitalism during his victory speech. I can't believe he's going be a senator. Also dropping Mugabe in there.

10% in, Specter up 50 votes

Crushing it in Philly, but that's 15% in. He's going to need to do OK in the collar counties.

just checked this: http://www.philly.com/philly/gallery/94019294.html

Williams leads Gov race in Philly/Berks/Dauphin, Onorato leading everywhere else. Two horse race, I guess...the two with the most dough. Oh boy.
Rohrer crushing in Berks, Corbett crushing him everywhere else

55/45 Specter right now

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue May 18, 2010 21:23:32

Onorato vs. Corbett in the Gov race

by **jerseyhoya** » Tue May 18, 2010 21:24:43

I think Specter's effed
