Common Sense

In this wacotrib.com poll. Think of it as practice for Nov. 7.

A lot of blogs have linked to the Trib story about the NRCC doing a poll last week then pulling money out of the Taylor race.
I know that the Huffingtonpost.com has a link and I heard that TPM with Josh Marshall also has a link, but I didn’t see it.
There was apparently some confusion over […]

We just have a whole bunch of stuff about Van Taylor today.
First off, the GOP is “cutting and running” from TX-17.

I wouldn’t be a good friend if I didn’t link to this good interview of Sasha Grey. She’s such a good person and so interesting to talk to. In fact, she was one of the few people I did talk to this weekend while I was recouping. Hat tip to her blog for the link.
