Ruff Politics: Kentucky Mayor Is a Real Dog
By Michael McLaughlin - AOL NewsBlue Dog Democrats may have lost power in Congress, but one border collie in Kentucky is living it up as a mayor for life, and this is one politician who doesn't mind being called a bitch.

Democrats Should Win Big in Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Jersey
By Jonathan Berr - Politics DailyLet me go out on a limb and predict that Democrats will easily win the mayoral races in Philadelphia and San Francisco and should do reasonably well in legislative races in New Jersey.
