The big 0 got over 70% of the vote there less than two years ago....looks to me like the left lost ground no matter how you slice it.

Ah, yes that demonstrates a divided Democrat Party in that election. If the Democrats wanted to win, they could have fielded only 'one' candidate. Rarely when a party is divided equally do they then coalesce to support a single candidate in the next election. We have seen this before in many States and National races. The fact is the young Republican won with 40% of the vote------neither of the other two could muster 40%----------the best they could do was 30%.

By Susan Davis Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has apologized for statements he made regarding his service during the Vietnam War, one week after the revelation was first reported by the New York Times. Last week, Blumenthal held a press conference in an attempt to quell the criticism, but he did not formally apologize for his remarks then.

Congress's Carried Interest Tax Folly online.wsj.com The latest soak-the-rich scheme will mean less capital investment and fewer new jobs. Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but at least he didn't strike the match. Members of Congress are doing Nero one better. In the middle of the second global financial crisis in two years, Congress is preparing to dramatically raise a key tax rate on long-term investment. This is sure to discourage capital investment, increase the cost of money to start and grow businesses, and depress real-estate and stock prices, all at the worst possible time.
