Apparently, having witnessed the wild success Sarah Palin enjoyed in steering right-wing tea partier Doug Hoffman to failure on November 3, Illinois’s favorite Republican chameleon Mark Kirk is now begging the conservative icon to back him...

Hilarious! Further evidence that the Republican Party has been taken over by extremists: erstwhile stimulus supporter Charlie Crist is now denying he ever backed the President’s economic recovery plan (which did not sit well with the tea party set, or Crist's primary opponent Marco Rubio).

Democrats increased their already robust Congressional majority last night as Democratic attorney and Air Force veteran Bill Owens defeated tea party activist and Glenn Beck acolyte Doug Hoffman in a Northern New York special election.

Holy smokes – this has been a terrible couple of weeks for establishment Republicans. Their party is now being torn asunder not only by the tea party set, but by the anti-government Ron Paul wing as well.

DSCC Chairman Sen. Robert Menendez appeared on the Daily Show yesterday to discuss various and sundry topics with host Jon Stewart.
