Opinion: Why Are Democrats Shying Away From Wars?
By Lionel Beehner - AOL News(Oct. 27) -- President Barack Obama is surging into Afghanistan but running away from the war on the campaign trail. Why? At a Minnesota rally, Obama recently boasted about creating jobs and giving Pell grants but did not mention the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan once. Ditto at an event for Barbara Boxer in California, except to make a passing reference to pulling 100,000 troops out of Iraq. At a recent Democratic National Committee dinner in Palo Alto, he mentioned fuel economy standards for cars and trucks a bunch but left out the fact that Americans are fighting terrorists overseas. And ...
Sean Bielat's Barney Shuffle Attack Ad Goes Viral
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 22) -- With some deliberately crude animation and a kitschy soundtrack, Sean Bielat is bringing new meaning to the phrase "dancing around the issues." The Republic challenger for Barney Frank's Massachusetts 4th Congressional District seat recently released a risky campaign advertisement featuring the 70-year-old Frank strutting his stuff on the dance floor. Although Bielat realizes that the ad may backfire for his campaign, he's willing to take the risk on the basis that "at least it's not boring." This is certainly true. And without further ado, Surge Desk presents the Barney ...

Levi Johnston's Platform: 'I Couldn't Tell You'
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News
(Oct. 19) -- Levi Johnston made his campaign platform public for the first time on Monday during an appearance on ABC's "The View." It's impressive in its brevity, more so than its content. "What can you do that no one else can do? Why should they vote for you?" Whoopi Goldberg asked during an interview with the former fiance of Bristol Palin. "At this point in time, I couldn't tell you," Johnston answered to the collective disapproval of "The View" ladies. However, in Johnston's defense, he did say he "was running for mayor, what, a month ago?" Here is a short clip (with no platform, the ...
Interest Group Spending on Campaigns Setting Records in 2010
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyThe money flowing into campaigns to buy TV ads and send brochures to your mailbox is staggering. And as David Corn notes elsewhere, we may never know where much of this money comes from or exactly how much is spent. That's because of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision earlier this year, which allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts on election activities, and IRS rules that allow that money to flow through nonprofits that don't have to release their donors' names. Using a spreadsheet downloaded from the Federal Election Commission and reports from the Wesleyan Media Project, ...
Witches and Whores and Sluts, Oh My
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyPolitics has always been a dirty business, but today's political gauntlet feels like something new. And I'm not the only one who's noticed. "The center has disappeared," said policy adviser William Galston. Campaigns now resemble a cross between a reality show, a beauty pageant and retribution for every slight and taunt from the popular kids in high school. Remember how people said they'd vote for George Bush because he's the kind of guy they'd like to have a beer with? That was no fluke. That was the shape of things to come. Physical attractiveness has been important since JFK, so 50 years ...
