Michigan Democrats are expressing concern about the political security of Rep. John D. Dingell, who has been elected to the House a record 28 times since first winning office in a 1955 special election. Dingell’s reelection campaign was the focus of discussion at a regular meeting of the top aides to members of the Michigan Democratic delegation last week. On Tuesday, the state party launched a Web site attacking his little-known GOP opponent, Rob Steele. That effort—against a GOP challenger who has not been heralded by the national party—comes on the heels of Dingell ramping up his fundraising and warning donors that he needs their help to make sure he can define Steele and win a seat that only he and his father have held since 1933.

kenny...make that washington state..not dc. anyway>> ...."Like most Pacific Coast states, Washington’s political heritage is Republican. But these Republicans tended to be from the progressive wing of the party, which formed a loud minority at the turn of the century. FDR brought these voters into the Democratic fold during the 1930s and 40s, and the state’s Republican Party saw its dominance in the state decline.

We will go through our federal budget — page by page, line by line — eliminating those programs we don't need. – President Elect Barack Obama, November 2008 With all due respect Mr. President, we're still waiting. It's been nearly two years since you made that pledge, Mr. President. Since then, you've signed into law an $800 billion "stimulus" package and a massive new health care entitlement — adding trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities to our grandchildren's tab. Our looming debt crisis threatens to destroy the American dream for future generations. Yet your administration continues piling up deficits of over a trillion dollars a year. By 2012 our national debt will be larger than the entire U.S. economy. Isn't it past time you identified the programs you'd cut? cato.org
