Pie A La Mode, Senor Obama
On Tuesday, Senator Barack Obama told a group of supporters in Powder Springs, Georgia just what direction he wants to take the country.
Can you say, “Hola, Amigo” ?
If you look at his voting record, you’ll see that BO has opposed every legislative attempt to make English the national official language. Instead, he wants all our [...]
Senator Mel Martinez retiring from Senate
U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, who has struggled to boost public support because of his close ties to President George W. Bush, announced Tuesday he will not seek a second term in 2010, saying he wants to spend more time with his family. The Republican pushed an immigration reform bill that was unpopular with many in his party, and his seat was widely seen as vulnerable in two years. However, Martinez rejected suggestions he faced difficult re-election prospects in a state won last month by

Democrats smell blood in Florida
The 2010 Senate election cycle has barely started, but the Democrats’ top target has already emerged: Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida. His popularity is sagging due to his long-standing ties to President George W. Bush, his high-profile advocacy for immigration reform that alienated conservatives, and his tumultuous nine-month stint last year as chairman of the Republican National Committee, which did little to burnish his image, either within his own party or among independents and D
