Arizona's Stormy Senate Race: Why the National GOP Is Watching
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyWhen Rep. Jeff Flake, a pro-immigration-reform Arizona Republican, said earlier this week he would run for the U.S. Senate in 2012, he immediately set off a chain of political storms inside and outside his own party, both in his state and in Washington. His campaign is no home-state affair. It could be a barometer of GOP unity nationwide, illustrating how the party would navigate the divisions between its two major wings -- its hard-line tea party advocates and its traditional conservatives. Arizona already has been a player at the national presidential level, and Flake's candidacy may be ...

Michele Bachmann for President? First Reactions
By Yelena Shuster - AOL NewsLook out Sarah Palin -- there's a new Republican woman who's eyeing an Oval Office run in 2012. Michele Bachmann, a three-term congresswoman from Minnesota, is known as much for her conservative views (homosexuality is a "dysfunction" and President Barack Obama is turning America into a "nation of slaves") as for the enmity she arouses in liberals. As ABC News reports, Bachmann, the founder and chairwoman of the House Tea Party Caucus, will travel to Iowa this month "to seek advice from political forces there and party elders close to the caucus process before coming to a final decision" on ...
Joe Miller Files for Injunction to Keep Fat Lady From Singing
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 18) -- The Alaska Senate race is heading back to court. An attorney for tea party candidate Joe Miller asked a federal judge today to halt the certification of Lisa Murkowski as the victor. Miller's challenge will once again focus on state rules over how a write-in candidate's name can appear on a ballot. If past court action is any indication, however, Miller could face even more disappointment. On Nov. 10 an Alaska federal judge rejected Miller's request to halt the counting of write-in ballots, and in October, the Alaska Supreme Court dealt Miller a blow by ruling that even ...

Lisa Murkowski Leading Joe Miller by Nearly 2,000 Votes (and Counting)
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 16) -- Is the handwriting on the wall? Sen. Lisa Murkowski appears poised to become only the second Senate candidate in U.S. history to mount a successful write-in campaign. At last check, Murkowski now leads tea party rival Joe Miller by more than 1,700 votes with approximately 8,000 write-in ballots left to count, the Anchorage Daily News reported. With 92,164 votes, Murkowski overtook Miller's 90,458 during Monday's counting. So far, 97 percent of all write-in ballots have been credited to Murkowski, but Miller's campaign continues to argue that they can challenge enough ballots to ...

Did Harry Reid 'Steal' the Nevada Senate Election?
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 3) -- Dirty tricks? On Tuesday night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was basking in the glow of his narrow victory over tea party upstart Sharron Angle. Throughout the course of the campaign, polls had shown the race to be an extremely tight contest, with the lead swinging back and forth between the two candidates all the way down to the wire. But let's back up to the waning days of the battle, with the contest far from decided. That's when Cleta Mitchell, Angle's attorney, sent out a fundraising letter in which she proclaimed the following: As Sharron Angle's campaign attorney, I ...
Today in Voter Fraud: Minnesota Showdown Over 'Please ID Me' Buttons
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Nov. 2) -- An act of civil disobedience meant to curb voter fraud or a wanton display of voter intimidation? That's the question facing a group calling itself Minnesota Majority, which is sending just over 10,000 people to monitor polling stations across that state today in an aggressive campaign to fight what organizers claim is a widespread problem of voter fraud. While monitoring and even contesting the eligibility of some voters is entirely legal, Minnesota Majority is directing its members to wear "Please ID Me" buttons in violation of a federal judge's orders, the blog Talking Points ...
