Russ Feingold should run against Obama (and Palin)
So much for 2010 as the year of mutiny, when the American people rose up and said, "Enough! Throw the bums out!" As the dust finally clears after the midterm elections, and the bodies are hauled from the field of battle, guess what? It was all so predictable. The safest thing to be in 2010 was an incumbent. Out of 435 seats, 351 incumbents will be returning to the House in January. In the Senate, out of 100 seats, 77 incumbents will return in January. As the libertarian Joel Hirschorn puts it, "Welcome back to the reality of America's delusional democracy where career ...

Comment from Sen. Feingold creates buzz following elections
Madison (WQOW) - Much of the talk since Election Day has been about a comment from Senator RussFeingold Tuesday night,after being defeated by Ron Johnson.

News Roundup 10/31 Happy Halloween everyone! Head of Crossroads GPS once a McConnell aide, now his political ally Washington Post After more than a decade working side by side, the two men rarely talk these days. But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Steven Law, his trusted former aide, remain a powerful combined force in Washington. Law heads American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, conservative groups whose $300 million budget has allowed them to outspend every other interest group in this election, as well as the Democratic National Committee. Together, the two groups have matched the Romney campaign in running anti-Obama ads, and in the past two months, they have put $35 million into 10 Senate races around the country — more than the Republican Party itself.

Less well known is that they may also decide control |
Ending "Too Big to Fail" We know there's still a lot of work to be done to rein in Wall Street and prevent another disastrous collapse. And we've seen what happens when big banks are trusted to oversee themselves: They gamble recklessly with other people's money. And if they lose, we take the biggest hit. Congressmen Conyers and Grayson are proposing regulations that would shorten Wall Street's leash and make it less likely that our government has to bail them out ever again. We're joining with our friends at CREDO to co-sign a letter from Reps. Grayson and Conyers asking federal banking regulators to adopt their strict new proposal. Read CREDO's message about this important letter below and add your name as a co-signer today. Thanks for uniting as a progressive, Josh Orton Political Director Progressives United Help Reps. Alan Grayson and John Conyers end "Too Big to Fail." Two progressive champions, Reps. Alan Grayson and John Conyers, are taking on “Too Big to Fail” banks and |
News Roundup 11/08 Blue team aided by small donors, big bundlers; Huge outside spending still comes up short Center for Responsive Politics President Barack Obama clinched a second term last night relying on many of the same campaign finance tools he used in his pre-Citizens United victory in 2008: party support and an in-house campaign finance operation that turned to individual donors and a web of elite bundlers to expand its reach. He received comparatively little help from outside spending groups. But that's not to say super PACs and secretive nonprofit groups had no influence on the election: Although they heavily favored conservative candidates, many of whom lost, they created an arms race that helped drive the cost of election to record levels. And whether the money came from outside groups or was raised by campaigns themselves using old-fashioned pre-Citizens United methods, the candidates with the most cash on their side of the equation frequently prevailed. According to an analysis of congressi |
We're holding senators accountable Members of Progressives United have some big questions for key legislators -- and they've been demanding answers. Right after the election on November 6, Congress will come together in a lame-duck session to decide the fate of a series of consequential issues that could affect the lives of millions of Americans: Will Congress gut benefits from Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security? Will they allow millionaires and billionaires to continue paying lower tax rates than their secretaries? Members of Congress tend to be least accountable right after an election. That's why progressives in target states have been calling their representatives and senators now, before November 6, to get them on the record about the looming decisions they will make regarding crucial benefits and tax fairness. Our plan worked: progressives have put two current senators on the spot with these tough questions. Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) Bernard got through to a staffer at Sen. Scott Brown's office and got a (so |
