Littwin: Wisconsin risk paid off

A strange thing happened in Wisconsin. Stranger than the 14 Democratic senators — fleebaggers, somebody called them — who left the state for weeks. Stranger than the sight of cops dragging protesters — none of them, unfortunately, wearing cheeseheads — from the state Capitol. snip Yes, this time the reviled teachers unions won. And the lazy/parasitic — your choice — state employees unions also won. OK, they didn't technically win. In fact, if you want to be technical about it, the bill that passed in Wisconsin means the unions lost in every conceivable way. They lost on bargaining rights. They lost on automatic collection of dues. They lost so badly they ...

UT/Texas Tribune Poll: Mixed Signals on Budget Cuts
Post Date: 2011-03-08 20:08:22 by lucysmom

By a margin of more than 2 to 1, Texas voters believe that lawmakers should solve the state's massive shortfall by cutting the budget, according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll, but their enthusiasm dissipates when asked if they support specific cuts. "We really want to slash the budget, but not anything in it," says pollster Daron Shaw, a professor of government at UT. On a sliding scale of 0-10, poll respondents were asked whether they would prefer to balance the state's next budget through budget cuts, by raising revenues, or something in between. Only 4 percent proposed doing it all with new revenue, while 17 percent would do it all with budget ...
Freshman Democrat Joe Manchin: Obama has 'failed to lead' on budget

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin ripped President Barack Obama on his budget proposals in a Senate floor speech Tuesday, a rare rebuke from a freshman Democrat who clearly is worried about the politics of deficit spending as he faces a tough reelection in 2012. Manchin charged the president with failing to lead the way in reducing spending, while also criticizing Republicans for offering “partisan” and “unrealistic” budget proposals. “Why are we doing all this when the most powerful person in these negotiations — our president — has failed to lead this debate or offer a serious proposal for spending and cuts that he would be willing to fight for?” ...

Five senators from the Democratic side of the aisle have already decided to hang ’em up after this term. Each has his own reasons, but it mostly boils down to this: For some senators, a job in the “most exclusive club” is not worth the hassle anymore. “It’s about campaigns,” Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), a retiring member of the Democratic Caucus, told POLITICO. “It’s about both the unremitting — that’s a bad word to use — about the constant pressure to raise money and travel all over the country doing that and the nastiness of the campaign. ... I have no second thoughts about it.” Lieberman, who lost a 2006 Democratic ...

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is criticizing Oscar-winner Natalie Portman's pregnancy because she's not married. In an interview with radio talk show host Michael Medved that took place on Monday but that's getting traction today, Huckabee said that Portman's out-of-wedlock pregnancy was "troubling." "It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea" of having children without being married, Huckabee said on the program. Huckabee is widely viewed as a possible presidential candidate. He has a contract to appear on Fox News, which is owned by News Corp., publisher of the Wall Street Journal. Portman's publicist did not respond to a ...

Pulitzer Prize winning tax reporter, David Cay Johnston, has written a brilliant piece for http://tax.com exposing the truth about who really pays for the pension and benefits for public employees in Wisconsin. "Gov. Scott Walker says he wants state workers covered by collective bargaining agreements to “contribute more” to their pension and health insurance plans. Accepting Gov. Walker’ s assertions as fact, and failing to check, creates the impression that somehow the workers are getting something extra, a gift from taxpayers. They are not. Out of every dollar that funds Wisconsin’ s pension and health insurance plans for state workers, 100 cents comes from the ...

When protests in Madison, Wisconsin broke out with Republican Governor Scott Walker's budget proposal, state firefighters immediately backed the public sector workers, who would be stripped of collective bargaining rights in the bill. Never mind the firefighters, along with cops and state troopers, were exempt from the union busting legislation. They have been protesting since day one with their self described working "brothers and sisters" in the public sector.

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker wants a 26% pay raise for his chief of staff, former Ald. Tom Nardelli, while bypassing traditional County Board approval in quietly issuing large pay raises over the summer to several other top aides. Nardelli would get the biggest pay increase of top-tier county officials, a nearly $20,000 raise to $95,000 a year. Seven county administrators also scored increases of up to 12.5%. Some supervisors are upset about being left out of the decision-making process for many of the raises and say Walker's timing couldn't be worse.

New Mexico Democratic Sen. Jeff Bingaman is expected to announce his retirement today, according to a source close to the decision, a move that further complicates his party's efforts to hold their Senate majority in 2012. Bingaman had been mulling whether to run for a sixth term for months and, if he had, would have almost certainly been re-elected. He told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of his decision to retire last night. His retirement, however, creates an open seat contest that both national parties will almost certainly target. Democrats should start the race with an edge, however, given President Obama's 15-point victory margin in the state in 2008. Bingaman is the ...

Huckabee Puts Abortion Front And Center In 2012 GOP Presidential Primary

As a veteran of the abortion wars, it's no big surprise that Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is making reproductive rights the centerpiece of his (likely) 2012 presidential campaign. "For me this is an issue that - as I've said before - it transcends all of the political issues," Huckabee told an anti-abortion crowd at a fundraiser the Center for Bioethical Reform. "I've often said I would gladly lose an election before I would ever yield on the issue of the sanctity of human life." CNN notes that most other GOP contenders have thus far been tight-lipped about social issues. But they don't have their fingers on the pulse of their base. For ...

A run for the White House has long meant enduring icy days campaigning in Iowa for the contest that starts the presidential election calendar. But this winter fewer candidates have braved the Midwestern chill. And that has left some wondering if the Iowa Republican party's shift to the right is scaring off some hopefuls and making the Iowa caucuses less competitive -- and less important. In the last few months, a handful of prospective candidates for the GOP nomination in 2012 have visited the state -- including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. But the visits have been less frequent than in the ...
Tea Party Patriots Investigated: "They Use You and Abuse You"

Two years ago, Tea Party Patriots got its start as a scrappy, ground-up conservative organization. Its rowdy activists demanded more transparency and less business-as-usual in the nation's capital, and they worked hard to elect candidates who they believed wouldn't succumb to the ways of Washington. But it didn't take long for the grassroots tea party organization to embrace the DC establishment—and some of its more questionable practices. Lately, Tea Party Patriots (TPP) has started to resemble the Beltway lobbying operations its members have denounced. The group's leaders have cozied up to political insiders implicated in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal and have ...

Miami Herald WASHINGTON — Texas Rep. Ron Paul won the straw poll of conservative activists Saturday as their top choice for the 2012 presidential nomination, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney finished a strong second — but among the newer faces, no one showed much strength. Paul was the first choice of the 3,742 voters at the Conservative Political Action Conference with 30 percent. Romney got 23 percent. Paul and Romney also finished one-two in last year’s poll, with almost identical percentages. In 2007, Romney won the straw poll, followed by former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Arizona Sen.

By Julie Hirschfeld Davis Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Republican U.S. Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona announced today that he won’t run for re-election in 2012. Kyl, the second-ranking Senate Republican leader, made the announcement at a news conference in Phoenix. He is serving his third six-year term. He is the fifth senator so far to decide against seeking another term next year. As Senate Minority Whip, Kyl serves as the chief nose- counter for Republicans in the Senate. He was slated to give up that post next year. Kyl, 68, served four terms in the House before his 1994 election to the Senate, where he has been a key architect of Republicans’ agenda in recent years, including the ...

Aspiring politicians in New York once made a point of visiting the three I’s: Italy, Ireland and Israel. For the GOP’s presidential prospects in 2012, it’s all about one: Israel. A stop in the Jewish state is becoming as critical to a would-be president’s political resume as an early trip to Iowa or New Hampshire, a sort of global two-fer. Get some early foreign policy street-cred and play a little dog-whistle politics with Christian conservatives who are deeply invested in Israel’s fate - some because they view it as critical to the Biblical vision of the end of days. Not only that, you get to look presidential by having your picture taken with Prime Minister ...

Virginia Senator Jim Webb plans to announce today that he won't seek reelection, the Senator confirmed Wednesday. Webb appeared likely to face a rematch with former Senator George Allen, whom he beat in a bruising 2006 contest. He had expressed ambivalence about the prospect of another run, and has said he never planned a life in politics. Keeping Webb -- a Vietnam veteran, former Reagan defense official, and author -- in the Senate had been a top priority for the Democratic leadership, with no Democrat of Webb's prominence, and his centrist politics, openly exploring the race. Senate Democratic leaders view Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, the former Virginia ...
