Rand Paul "Off The Wall" in New Kentucky Senate TV Spot
New Ads in Kentucky Senate Race
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
The Kentucky Senate race is intensifying, with a new commercial suggesting that Rand Paul, the Tea Party candidate, is “off the wall.”
The commercial quotes an older voter saying that Dr. Rand’s idea for fixing Medicare — that seniors pay a $2,000 deductible — is “off the wall.” But the spot, running statewide starting Tuesday and put out by Dr. Paul’s Democratic opponent, Jack Conway, may leave the impression that some voters think Dr. Paul himself may be over the edge.
It opens with video of Dr. Paul saying: “The real answer to Medicare would be a $2,000 deductible.” It then shows various older voters using words like “crazy” and saying, “I don’t know what planet he’s from.” Another says, “Rand Paul (pause) is off the wall (pause) with a $2,000 deductible.”
Yet another concludes: “The more we hear about Rand Paul, the worse it gets.”
The Rand campaign said that a $2,000 deductible for Medicare was but one idea that the candidate threw out (here is a 7-minute chunk of his original speech in June 2009) as part of a comprehensive approach to fixing health care.
“Status quo career politicians like Jack Conway have bankrupted Medicare and left us facing trillions of dollars of debt,” the Rand campaign said in a statement. It added that the solvency of Medicare was a serious problem and that anyone who did not recognize that was not a serious person.
Note that the statement says that career pols “like” Mr. Conway have bankrupted Medicare –it would not want to leave the impression that Mr. Conway, who is the state Attorney General, had actually done so.

Lazy Democrats Likely to be Routed by Fired Up Tea Baggers in November
That's about how this 2010 is looking like it will play out, which is unfortunate.
You see the right wing has gotten even more bellicose and unreasonable over the past few years: many are flat out racists who can't deal with a black man being their President...
Many others have continued to have their brains be turned into mush by listening to Rush Limbaugh, Faux News and Glenn Beck--the propaganda wing of the right wing...
Others don't believe in evolution, or believe that Obama is a Kenyan Muslim....
Others believe global warming is a 'hoax' and humans are doing nothing at all wrong to the environment... happy with building more and more roads, driving bigger SUVs and burning more and more gas as long as the oil keeps flowing in the Middle East and in the ocean....
Sigh.

President calls 'FOX' destructive to America
Good.
Fox News pushes "a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world," Obama said.But remember the last time the White House stood up to FOX. A month later the President was giving FOX an exclusive interview to make up for all the bad blood. It's great that he's standing up to FOX. But he needs to sustain the criticism.

Biden Calls Out "Republican Tea Party"--Terrified Democrats Flee in Response
Joe Biden may be many things, but one thing he certainly is is one hell of a nuts and bolts retail politician. You see he's a rare breed: a white semi-Northeastern Democrat who manages to connect on a big level with fellow white blue collar swing voters who in the recent times have drifted towards the GOP for many reasons. These voters are also called 'Reagan Democrats'.
Biden knows exactly what type of animal these weirdo Tea Partiers are: relatively lazy, gullible, under educated, frustrated...white folks. Many of them are hardened xenophobic racists, too, whose simple minded beliefs have been ossified by years of listening to the hateful propaganda of fringe right nut balls like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and Mark Levin.
Newsflash to scared of their own shadow national Democrats: THESE FOLKS ARE VOTING 100%, EN MASSE FOR THE GOP ANYWAY THIS CYCLE. The likelihood of any of them voting for any Democrats in November is 0%
There is nothing you can do about the tea party fringe for November. Biden is speaking to the silent majority--the non freaks who actually pick up a book every now and again and do not consider FAUX News actual news. The Reagan Democrat....the masses of reasonable swing voters who traditionally decide national elections.
Democrats by now are so scared shitless by being told for months and months that they are about to be drowned in a Tea Party wave that they are literally in the equivalent of an electoral fetal position--quivering and jumping ten feet when the nearest pollster whispers 'boo!' into their ear.
Memo guys: Chance favors the bold. Follow Biden. He knows what he's talking about....

'Conservative' Media Turning Millions of Americans Heads Into Mush
Rupert Murdoch is a scourge on America: utilizing well honed propaganda to both dominate media market share and turn millions of gullible, angry white Americans' heads into mush. Check out the story below, starring none other than the tea bagging freak Sharron Angle from Nevada who is running for Senate:
Angle Explains the Power of Conservative Media
The Las Vegas Sun has a recording of Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R) at a house party explaining the power of conservative media.
Said Angle: "Here's the deal: when I get a friendly press outlet -- not so much the guy that's interviewing me -- it's their audience that I'm trying to reach. So, if I can get on Rush Limbaugh, and I can say, 'Harry Reid needs $25 million. I need a million people to send twenty five dollars to SharronAngle.com.' The day I was able to say that [even], he made $236,000 dollars. That's why it's so important. Somebody... I'm going on Bill O'Reilly the 16th. They say, 'Bill O'Reilly, you better watch out for that guy, he's not necessarily a friendly'... Doesn't matter, his audience is friendly, and if I can get an opportunity to say that at least once on his show -- when I said it on Sean Hannity's television show we made $40,000 before we even got out of the studio in New York."

Dems on The Rebound?
Are Democrats recovering?
A modest shift in public polling toward Democrats is giving some Democratic leaders hope that talk of a wave election has been overstated and that the public is -- to some degree at least -- swinging back behind the President and his party.
Both President Obama's job approval ratings and the generic ballot figures have edged toward parity over the last month, prompting some Democrats to look hopefully toward a new trend, and to a retreat from a reflexive embrace of the still-unpopular Republican Party.
"There have been a slew of polls in the last few days showing substantial movement toward the Democrats and away from the Republicans," Simon Rosenberg, the founder of the Democratic strategy outfit NDN. "There is a substantial new dynamic. The idea that this is baked in the cake is just wrong," he said.
Rosenberg wrote yesterday that "no one should be suprised. The underlining favorability of the Republican Party is still far below that of the Dems and Obama. This election has never been like 1994 where at this point there had been both a fall of the Dems and a rise in the GOP. The memory of the disasterous GOP reign in the last decade is still too fresh, their leaders still to unreformed, their candidates far too wacky, and their ideas still to reckless for the current GOP to have fully taken advantage of the Democratic underpeformance this past cycle."
I've also been hearing scraps of anecdotal evidence to this effect this week.
"I had a couple of independents tonight tell me that the GOP had gone too far," one local candidate who'd been knocking on doors in the Mid-Atlantic told me yesterday. "First time I've heard it."
But Rosenberg may be overstating the evidence. He finds particularly dramatic polling evidence by dropping Rasmussen from his averages on the grounds that it's an outlier; but averaging is usually the way to absorb outliers. Still, just yesterday a new Zogby poll found a seven point swing toward the Democrats in the last week, and 11 point swing for Obama in the last month.
This morning I asked Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster who was among the first to spot the shift among independents last year, what he made of those claims.
"There's a little tightening in the generic ballot, with what was a four or five point lead becoming a two point lead," Ayres said.
But he said he'd seen no change in the long-term trend, and -- cruciallly -- "no change in intensity," which means that even a tied generic ballot would, in practice, favor Republicans.

JetBlue Inches Closer to in flight Wi-Fi
ViaSat and JetBlue have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the provision of in-flight broadband access and other services for customers on JetBlue’s fleet of more than 160 aircraft using ViaSat advanced Ka-band satellites. Under the arrangement, ViaSat will provide Ka-band antenna components and SurfBeam®2 modems for installation on the airline’s EMBRAER E190 and Airbus A320 aircraft types along with two-way transmission bandwidth services using the WildBlue-1 and high-capacity ViaSat-1 satellites. JetBlue subsidiary, LiveTV LLC, will manage the integration of the ViaSat broadband and related components onboard the aircraft as well as providing the Wi-Fi enabled services into the overall cabin experience.Live TV, combined with the Internet at 32,000 feet will definitely help improve the “overall cabin experience.” The deal isn’t set in stone however: “JetBlue and ViaSat have completed the non-binding MOU with the intent of signing a definitive agreement before the end of this calendar year.” Hopefully, the two companies can ink something more permanent soon and add Wi-Fi to the list of JetBlue inflight amenities.

Historian: Mao's Great Leap Forward 'killed 45 million in four years'
45 million dead people is quite a few dead people...
You have to wonder how anyone can have respect for Mao. Most assumed the number was high though forty-five million is much more than previously estimated. Many suffered from starvation thanks to Mao's systematic lying about food production. Everyone wanted to out perform the other so whether or not the numbers were there, they claimed to have certain quantities of rice.
Overstating numbers has been a regular feature in communist China (and some other neighboring countries) which has always made be reluctant to fully embrace the Chinese economic miracle story. Great yes, but how real? The Independent:
Overstating numbers has been a regular feature in communist China (and some other neighboring countries) which has always made be reluctant to fully embrace the Chinese economic miracle story. Great yes, but how real? The Independent:
Mr Dikötter, who has been studying Chinese rural history from 1958 to 1962, when the nation was facing a famine, compared the systematic torture, brutality, starvation and killing of Chinese peasants to the Second World War in its magnitude. At least 45 million people were worked, starved or beaten to death in China over these four years; the worldwide death toll of the Second World War was 55 million.
Mr Dikötter is the only author to have delved into the Chinese archives since they were reopened four years ago. He argued that this devastating period of history – which has until now remained hidden – has international resonance. "It ranks alongside the gulags and the Holocaust as one of the three greatest events of the 20th century.... It was like [the Cambodian communist dictator] Pol Pot's genocide multiplied 20 times over," he said.
Between 1958 and 1962, a war raged between the peasants and the state; it was a period when a third of all homes in China were destroyed to p
Rothenberg Breaks Down Delaware Senate Result
The pattern is a familiar one.
Purist conservative challengers in GOP primaries start out as asterisks in early polls, but in the final week or two, they surge to victory, as national tea party groups pump money and energy into low-turnout primaries.
For the most part, these primary outcomes probably won’t matter. Yes, Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson would have had an easier time holding the state’s Senate seat for Republicans in November than Rand Paul, but Paul is favored over state Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway, so the GOP primary upset shouldn’t matter.
The same goes for Alaska, where little-known attorney Joe Miller shocked Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary. Murkowski would have strolled to an easy re-election win, but with Democrats having their own weak Senate nominee, even Miller looks like a solid favorite.
In Colorado, former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton might well have been able to put together a broader general election coalition than Ken Buck, who defeated her in the GOP primary, but that isn’t guaranteed. Buck is in a tossup race against appointed Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, and he certainly has a chance in November. Maybe Norton would be better positioned for November, but it isn’t clear yet.
And in Nevada, many have argued that Sharron Angle is a weak opponent against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), and she has made more than her share of mistakes. But the rest of the GOP field in Nevada wasn’t anything to write home about. The smartest candidate in the Republican primary, and the Republican who would have added most in the Senate, John Chachas, spent most of his time living and working in New York City before becoming a candidate.
But Delaware is different.
Christine O’Donnell’s victory over Rep. Mike Castle in the GOP primary effectively ends the party’s chances of winning the Senate seat long held by Joseph Biden before his election as vice president.
For conservatives, that may be fine. As South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint might say, better 30 dependable conservatives than 51 Republicans in name only. But Castle would have voted to organize the Senate for the GOP and would have voted most of the time with his party. Chris Coons, the New Castle County executive and the Democratic Senate nominee, will vote to have Democrats organize the Senate and will vote with his party virtually all of the time.
O’Donnell won the primary with 30,561 votes to 27,021 for Castle. But she is poorly positioned to appeal to general election voters, who are far more moderate than the true believers who supported her in the primary. And with many Republicans (including Castle) saying they will not support her, O’Donnell looks like a gift for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Indeed, one conservative Republican strategist who is no fan of Castle and could never be accused of supporting “establishment” candidates told me recently that O’Donnell is a “crackpot” who has no chance of winning the general election.
O’Donnell’s conservatism is a problem for her in attracting support in a general election, but it isn’t her biggest problem. Questions about her character are far more important and limit her appeal with the kinds of swing voters and soft Democrats that she would need to win.
Conservative Senate primary winners in Alaska, Kentucky, Nevada and Colorado don’t face the same long odds O’Donnell does because those states are far more Republican and conservative to start with.
President Barack Obama drew 38 percent in Alaska, 41 percent in Kentucky, 55 percent in Nevada and 54 percent in Colorado. In Delaware, where Democrats have clear majorities in both chambers of the Legislature, he won with an overwhelming 62 percent.
Establishment Republicans in Kentucky, Colorado and Nevada may not be thrilled with their GOP nominees, but they’ll still support them. That won’t happen as easily in Delaware.
But Delaware does show the same thing that became apparent in Colorado, Alaska and Kentucky: Conservatives are energized.
A recent report from Gallup found that 63 percent of self-described conservatives said they had given “quite a lot” or “some” thought to the November elections — a far higher percentage than national adults (38 percent), non-Hispanic whites (42 percent), liberal Democrats (32 percent) or moderate and liberal Republicans (34 percent).
But in Delaware, winning conservatives isn’t enough. It isn’t close to enough. And that’s why Christine O’Donnell and her tea party allies just won a battle but will lose the war.

Castle Rips O'Donnell After Crushing Tea Party Victory
One word. Wow.
from TOP 10 Blogs

No reconciliation for Castle
A day after his defeat, Mike Castle's campaign circulates this scathing News Journal column to the press, under the heading, "In Case You Missed It":
Some 30,500 Republicans have embarrassed the dickens out of the state of Delaware by voting for a candidate who has no chance of winning the general election, is a verifiable liar and cheater with no known means of employment other than her campaign money and has nothing to claim as a campaign platform other than whatever the tea party stands for.And other than not liking the fact that there are such things as incumbents in elective offices, I'm really not sure what tea party people really think about anything.Was I dead wrong on the Christine O'Donnell-Mike Castle race for U.S. Senate? Absolutely.Was I wrong that she should not have won the race against U.S. Rep. Castle? Absolutely not.This is a woman who will stoop as low and often as necessary to fool voters who, for the most part, know nothing about her or her so-called policies or positions.
And no, Castle's not endorsing her.
ALSO: State GOP Chairman Tom Ross just put out a statement in which, refusing to even mention O'Donnell, he refuses to step down:
Tuesday night, Delaware Republicans came out in large numbers to nominate candidates across the state to bring prosperity and accountability to Washington and Dover. After a hard fought primary it is time to come together and unite over our shared principles and determination to rescue our economy from the destructive policies advanced by Democrats.The Delaware Republican Party plans on doing what it does every election year - working hard for our candidates. We have reached out to the NRSC, NRCC, and RNC to ensure that our candidates have as much support as possible. The winds of change are blowing hard in Delaware and together we can take our state and country back. I will honor my commitment to our party's grassroots activists and continue to serve as Chairman of the Republican Party of Delaware.

Rush Limbaugh Apoplectic Over Rove's O'Donnell Diss (VIDEO)
Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh
Share
Add Rush Limbaugh to the list of prominent conservatives tearing into Karl Rove's hide today. As Rove continued his tour slamming freshly minted Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell over the considerable number of skeletons in her closet, Rush was almost literally beside himself with frustration at the idea that anyone -- much less The Architect -- would dare violate the 11th Commandment so brazenly.
O'Donnell's nomination has created deep divisions between the Republican Party and right-wing activists. Last night, Rove bashedO'Donnell -- and her chances of being elected -- and insisted that she's said a lot of "nutty things." He was attacked by some right-wingers for those comments. O'Donnell whacked him back in a televised interview this morning. And then Rove responded to O'Donnell and his right-wing critics, daring them to 'prove me wrong'. Then Palin slammed Rove. Now it's Limbaugh's turn.
"If 51 seats was really the objective -- if getting the majority is really that important, then let's go balls to the wall for Christine O'Donnell!" Limbaugh screamed on his radio show today after playing a clip of Rove's already infamousanti-O'Donnell interview on Hannity last night.
"Why not fight for it?" Limbaugh asked. "Why not fight for it? Castle's OK as the 51st vote but this woman isn't?"
Rush seemed in danger of having an aneurysm at the idea that Rove would do something as heretical as point out that O'Donnell has more than a few very serious character flaws and -- as the polls show -- is a serious underdog against her Democratic opponent in November, in a race that Republicans had once thought was theirs for the taking.
"Everyone I know that saw this was just--they were perplexed and said, 'What's going on? Why is he so mad at a Republican?'" Rush said of Rove. "Where was this anger directed at a Democrat ever?"
Limbaugh then freaked out over all the horrible character flaws about Democrats -- the late Ted Kennedy and President Obama were mentioned -- that Rove has supposedly never pointed out in an interview.
"Our Vice President Joe Biden is a known plagiarist," Rush said. "We're going to talk about Christine O'Donnell's baggage? Where is this criticism of Democrats? Where has it been?"
Watch (Rush really wigs out a few minutes in at about 3:20):
