Onslow County Politics: Joe McLaughlin Returns…

to ruin my holiday.
Why can’t he just admit that he lost, admit that his political career is over (much like his financial management career, I hear) and go away?
What is it with NC-03 candidates? Between McLaughlin and Weber, we must be the laughing stock of all the nation!

Onslow County Politics: Joe McLaughlin Killed My Buzz

Earlier this week (I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday morning) I was bicycling to work and had this flitting thought:
I haven’t heard the names “Joe McLaughlin” or “Delma Collins” in a while. Isn’t that nice?"

And it was, it was very nice…But it wasn’t to last very long. Follow the jump for details.

Election 2008: Classless Candidates and Sore Losers

Why are so many of the losing incumbents and losing candidates for election behaving so poorly? It’s an exercise in classlessness, from my point of view.
Take soon-to-be former Senator Elizabeth Dole from North Carolina as an example. Her concession speech was not conciliatory, it was not gracious, nor was it very polite and she [...]

2008 Elections: BrockNet Election Extravaganza

We all know Tuesday is Election Day here in the U.S. I’m sure it’s an election that the world will be watching, as well as very nervous Americans.
I’ll be posting frequent updates here (probably every half-hour to hour) and will be Twittering updates as well.
The races I’ll be paying particular attention to are:

President of the [...]

A Reader Writes: My Boycott of NBC in support of McCain/Palin 08

An email just hit my inbox.
Fellow Republicans,
"I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore!"  I am boycotting NBC over their biased reporting of the campaign and the SNL skit on Saturday night.  I am also boycotting their sponsors…
It might not seem like much, but I am also giving up [...]

Action Alert: Contact Your Elected Representatives About the Bush Administration’s $700,000,000,000 Wall Street Bail-Out Plan

Contact your elected representatives and urge them not to support the Bush Administration’s $700,000,000,000 bail-out of Wall Street on our tax-dime. The Bush Plan has no support for Main Street Americans or home-owners that face foreclosure. The Administration’s plan also specifically denies Americans any course of action for oversight or recourse against the government’s actions [...]

Community Organizers

I haven’t covered the 2008 elections enough since the North Carolina Primaries in May and for that I apologize.
Some of the comments made on Wednesday evening have given me cause to join the conversation…Former New York City Mayor and also-ran for the Republican nomination Rudy Giuliani and Alaska’s Governor and Republican candidate for Vice President [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you Maverick McCain!

FactCheck.org asks:
Is it true John McCain voted with George Bush 95 percent of the time?

And answers.
The claim is true. According to Congressional Quarterly’s Voting Studies, in 2007 McCain voted in line with the president’s position 95 percent of the time – the highest percentage rate for McCain since Bush took office – and voted in [...]
