We Get Letters . . . Politics Daily Gives Advice
By Bonnie Goldstein
Dear Politics Daily: I recently lost my job as head of a small but strategically placed East Coast state and am considering my professional and personal prospects for the future. I entered public service relatively late in life after a successful career in finance that ended on an uncomfortable note but nevertheless left me well fixed monetarily. I used a pile of the cash I made to run for office but after winning a job in Washington, my marriage of three decades ended with public accusations from my ex that nearly cost me an election. The next relationship with a high-profile supporter ...
Rudy Giuliani Flirting With a Run for N.Y. Governor
By Emily MillerRudy Giuliani has been laying the groundwork in recent weeks to run for governor of New York in 2010. The former Republican mayor of New York City and presidential candidate has told associates he will likely make his decision in the next 30 to 60 days and will announce it after the Nov. 3 city elections. ...
NY Assembly Passes Gay Marriage Bill
By Tommy Christopher
By a wide, bi-partisan majority, the New York State Assembly passed a bill legalizing gay marriage, setting the stage for a tougher fight in the state senate: (h/t Jake Tapper) The State Assembly approved legislation on Tuesday night that would make New York the sixth state to allow same-sex marriage - a pivotal vote that shifts the debate to the State Senate, where gay rights advocates and conservative groups alike are redoubling their efforts. In a sign of how opinion in Albany has shifted on the issue, several members of the Assembly who voted against the measure in 2007 voted in favor of ...
Meghan McCain to Karl Rove and Dick Cheney: 'Go Away!'
By Tommy ChristopherMeghan McCain co-hosted "The View" today, and she followed up on her criticism of Karl Rove's Twitter life. She also criticized Rudy Giuliani's recent attack on gay marriage, and spoke with moral authority on the issue of torture:As a punctuation mark to her appearance, Meghan later tweeted a link to fellow Daily Beaster Reihan Salam's story on Cheney's recent verbal garbage-spew at the President.I like the way she sort of paints Rove as ...
Gavin Newsom to Run For Governor Without the Bro Code Vote
By Tommy Christopher
Americans are a forgiving people, by and large. You can break most of the Ten Commandments, all of the Seven Deadly Sins, even the First Rule of Fight Club. But you don't mess with the Bro Code. Examples of this are evident all around us. David Vitter mongers the DC Madam's roster, yet retains his Senate seat. Eliot Spitzer is on the comeback trail after he exploited a young girl who had been an abused teen runaway. Bill Clinton is a great example of this, owing much of his forgiveness, I believe, to Kenneth Starr's own violation of the Bro Code, to wit, "Bros don't tell other bro's wives ...
Rudy Giuliani to Wage War on Gay Marriage
By Tommy Christopher
Anybody remember Rudy Giuliani? He was the presumptive favorite to win the 2008 GOP Presidential nomination, before Ron Paul took him out? Well, Rudy's back.The former Mayor of America tells the New York Post's Fredric U. Dicker that he is going to take his "traditional view of marriage," which I guess is between a man and a woman and whomever the dude is still married to, into battle against gay marriage: (h/t John Dickerson)"This will create a grass-roots movement. This is the kind of issue that, in many ways, is somewhat beyond politics," said Giuliani, a two-term mayor who unsuccessfully ...
Merry Christmas, Mark Teixeira! Love, Rudy Giuliani
By Dylan and Ethan Ris
Don't tell baseball's Mark Teixeira that we're in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. He just got a $180 million Christmas gift from the New York Yankees and-- indirectly-- the New York taxpayers.And who could be the Secret Santa that made it all possible? Why it's none other than Rudy Giuliani, America's Mayor!For those who haven't heard, the Yankees have spent the past month signing essentially all of major league baseball, paying Teixeira, C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett a total of $423 million. Question is, how can a team, even the Yankees, afford such utter ...
Rudy Giuliani for New York Governor?
By Dave
AP:Rudy Giuliani said Sunday he will consider running for governor of New York and isn't ruling out a second attempt at the U.S. presidency. ..."I don't know if I'd be interested in it, but I'll think about it when the right time comes along," Giuliani said.Current New York Governor David Paterson said last month he will run in 2010 for a full term in office. He assumed office after his predecessor Eliot Spitzer resigned earlier this year amid a prostitution scandal.On whether he'd serve with Obama - Rudy ducked:"You never answer questions like that hypothetically," Giuliani said. "Very few ...
Palin's 'Understanding' of the 1st Amendment
By Tommy Christopher
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. That's the actual First Amendment to the US Constitution. Here is VP candidate Sarah Palin's interpretation of it: (From a radio interview on Friday, video below) "If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations then I don't know what the future of ...
Karl Rove's Broken Wings
By David Knowles
Much like Alan Greenspan, political strategist Karl Rove has received a mountain of lavish praise over the past decade. Back when times were good, Rove epitomized success. His business was winning elections, and with the dawning of W., he seemed to have no peer. Well, the mighty, they have fallen. Himself a closet atheist, Rove forged what proved, for a time, to be a cunning strategy of harnessing the fervor of two distinct groups within the Republican Party: Christian and fiscal conservatives. To be sure, these two factions often overlapped. There are many anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage ...
