CA-50 is dead to me

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

Today is the day of the California 50 special election.
The purpose of the special election, like that of the one that will occur in Delay’s district, is based on the premise that Republicans are more likely to vote when voter turnout is low. After all, what is the purpose in Governor Schwarzenegger wasting resources on [...]

DX smackdown

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006
