Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist had been in a dead heat with Gov. Rick Scott for months. Things are still very close, but there’s some good news for the Crist campaign today. Via the Tampa Bay Times: Crist’s 6 percentage-point lead isn’t so big because the likely-voter poll’s error margin is 4.1 percent. But it ain’t the topline, it’s the …

Former Phoenix mayor and Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard lost to Jan Brewer in the 2010 gubernatorial race.

The new ad from homocon US House candidate Carl DeMaio concludes by calling him “independent.” DeMaio, of course, is the GOP nominee and has declared that he “owes everything” to the Tea Party. But somehow, he’s independent. 

Shocking. Sen. Ted Cruz won the 2014 Values Voter Summit straw poll for the second year in a row on Saturday, following an extremely popular speech Friday in which the Texas Republican promised a kind of salvation from the Obama presidency. Cruz earned 25% of the 1,900 votes cast at this weekend’s Values Voter Summit to be president, less than …

“It is good news that Eric Holder has announced his resignation. Sadly, he has proven to be the most partisan attorney general in our history, repeatedly defying and refusing to enforce the law. It did not have to be this way, but Holder’s leadership has grievously undermined the Department of Justice’s long bipartisan tradition of independence and fidelity to law. …

Philandering opposite marriage champion Vance McAllister wants you to know that his “Christian wife” is giving him a second chance. Therefore the voters of Louisiana should do the same. Praise! Glory! As I noted earlier today, McCallister is up against five other GOP candidates in the primary, including Zach Dasher, the nephew of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson. (Tipped by …

Zach Dasher, nephew of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, is running for the US House in Louisiana. As you’d expect, his wife has an opinion on homosexuality. In one blog on the controversy surrounding Phil Robertson’s suspension from A&E for anti-LGBT comments made to GQ, Dasher’s wife, Jil, writes that she’s seen people who have “come out of” addictions like …

“Friends, As you know, I am not running a typical election campaign. My Campaign Manager is the Holy Spirit, and He has His own plan and purposes for my run for Governor of Massachusetts. First, He has told me NOT to try to make things happen in my own will and strength, but wait on Him to move others to …

Last night Log Cabin Republicans endorsee Carl DeMaio debated Rep. Scott Peters. As they have for much of the campaign, the two honed in on each other’s record while on the San Diego City Council and DeMaio’s 2012 mayoral campaign. Peters repeatedly tried to paint DeMaio as a tea party extremist, while DeMaio said Peters was at the center of …

Homocon GOP House candidate Carl DeMaio hired and then fired a campaign staffer yesterday after discovering racist and anti-Semitic messages on his Twitter feed.  Former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio, who is running for the Congressional seat held by Democrat Scott Peters, fired college student Blaise Hahs after tweets containing hashtags like ‘#smartniggaprobzz’ and comments such as “Who wants …

“The recent vicious attack perpetrated on two men in Philadelphia is incomprehensible and those responsible should be severely punished. We, as a society and a community, cannot stand for these assaults on our individual freedoms. No one, no matter their race, gender, or sexual orientation, should ever have to live in fear of walking down the street. William Penn founded …

“The biggest current danger for Republicans is that idiots will vote for Libertarian candidates in do-or-die Senate elections, including Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Colorado. Democratic candidates don’t have to put up with this crap — they’re even trying to dump the official Democrat in Kansas to give the stealth Democrat a better shot. When we’re all dying from lack …

Via the San Diego Union-Tribune: Democratic Rep. Scott Peters and Republican Carl DeMaio are in a virtual dead-heat in San Diego’s 52nd Congressional District election, according to a new poll of likely voters.
