Rep. Paul Broun Will Not Be 'Kissy Kissy' at Obama State of the Union
By David Knowles - AOL NewsFeel the love. If you thought the Tucson, Ariz., shootings, which left six people dead and 13 others -- including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords -- injured, would herald a new age of civility in Washington, you probably haven't been listening to U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia much. In response to calls from the the fledgling centrist political party No Labels asking members of Congress to ditch tradition and sit together, regardless of party affiliation, during Barack Obama's State of the Union Address, Broun came out swinging against his Democratic colleagues and the president. "I believe ...
'No Labels' Wants to Deliver on Public's Cry for Change, but Will It Work?
By Linda Killian - Politics DailyNEW YORK – At the rollout for No Labels at Columbia University on Monday, one of the group's founders called the event "our little Woodstock of democracy." But the well- organized event, with its national media coverage, roster of top political names like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, and media heavyweights like David Gergen and Joe Scarborough, felt like anything but Woodstock. No Labels may be a protest movement of sorts (if you are the tea party or MoveOn.org or even the Republican or Democratic parties) but it's not exactly a radical idea the group is ...
'No Labels' Speaker David Gergen in NYC: 'The Country Is on the Edge'
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK – More than a thousand Democrats, Republicans and independents converged on New York City on Monday to launch a national political organization to bring together Americans and put an end to damaging partisanship and divisive labels. Aptly, it's called "No Labels. Not Left. Not Right. Forward." From as far as Oregon and Colorado, Arkansas and Michigan, No Labels enthusiasts descended on New York City and filled a large hall at Columbia University to hear No Labels' founding leaders and guest speakers summon Americans to form a grassroots movement to unify the nation and support ...

McCain Can't Wait to Debate
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyAfter last night's stinker of a speech, John McCain is realizing he's certainly not going to win the election on the strength of his rhetoric. He wants to engage his opponent one on one (though in these days of HD he could be risking a dangerous Kennedy/Nixon type contrast). Today McCain called for more debates or joint forums this fall. McCain adviser Mark McKinnon floated the prospect last month of the two candidates campaigning in the same states together and holding joint forums without a moderator. Obama said at the time that he would be open to such a prospect.That could be interesting. ...
McCain Adviser Won't Go Against Obama
By David Knowles - Politics DailyVia the New York Times comes word that John McCain's chief advertising strategist, Mark McKinnon, is bidding farewell to his boss. Why? He's keeping a promise he made that would not work for the Republican candidate if Barack Obama became the Democratic nominee. A few months ago, McKinnon gave an interview in which he stated:"I just don't want to work against an Obama candidacy."The reason, according to McKinnon, is that seeing Obama reach the White House "would send a great message to the country and the world." McKinnon's former clients have included two famous Texans, Ann Richards and ...
