Expanding the Best Picture Oscar field to 10 entrants may water down the field. But some competitions feature a plethora of worthwhile candidates. Take trying to pick the Best New York State Democrat. The academy that’s in charge of issuing the Democraties ™ would have to permit a similarly...
Blue + Brown = Red...
Barack Obama wants something. Scott Brown doesn’t. Brown wins. Yes, last week’s special election provided the most awesome result of all time. But it could delightfully be topped. The one thing more fun for conservatives than the phrase “Republican Senator Number 41″...

Well everyone, for the past week or so, I have been fully absorbed in the U.S. Senate Special Election in Massachusetts, helping Scott Brown get elected.

Politics didn’t change Kirsten Gillibrand, but a new job did. She became a company woman once since she was assigned to stand for in the Senate; that’s different that how she acted while representing only New York’s 20th Congressional District in the House.

Michael Goodwin at the New York Daily News reports that Kirsten Gillibrand, the conservative Democrat appointed by Governor Paterson to fill Hillary Clinton’s vacant Senate seat, is learning that diversity is not a virtue of her party, as she is flushing her moderate and conservative views down...
