– This post from Nate Silver was from before Tuesday’s primaries, but it’s worth re-posting up now that the primaries showed anti-establishment candidates winning all over. What Silver finds is that polling is showing that the Democratic anti-establishment candidates are giving Democrats a better chance to win in November, while the Republican anti-establishment candidates have worse chances to win in November. In other words, Rand Paul may have won big in his primary, but Trey Grayson was likely the better candidate to win the general election. But the opposite was true for Joe Sestak, who polled better against Toomey in the days and weeks leading up to Tuesday.
– There’s a rally to protest the extradition and trial of Marc Emery – this Saturday from 2-4 at the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle.
– Mexican President Felipe Calderon addresses Congress this morning, where they will greet him warmly and then completely ignore everything he has to say and continue to not care about what’s happening in Mexico or how to fix it.
Speaking of Mexico, I was just down there for 10 days, and I didn’t go to a beach resort to lay in the sand and drink beer. I went with my wife and son to Aguascalientes (in central Mexico). It’s historically been a rather safe city, but in the past several years there have been several shootouts between the cops/military and the traffickers. Which led me to be somewhat frightened and reassured when I stepped out of a restaurant onto the sidewalk near the heart of the city where they were having their annual “La Ferria de San Marcos”, the national fair with tens of thousands of people, and 5 military vehicles full of troops or federal police…..all with automatic weapons at the ready. It’s their way to project the power of the government that they are in control, not the traffickers.
Wow! Rand Paul is against racism and discrimination..

But believes bidnesses should call the shots as they please..
There goes all those counter sit-ins..
Love that tea-baggin’ madness.
Nate Silver is to political analysis as Michelle O is to fashion … elegant.
I’m back from another wonderful trip.
Might as well spend the money before Oba-Mao and his KLOWN Machine take it & spend it on their Marxist Agenda.
Fortunately, I am in the MAJORITY on my opinions about Oba-Mao!

I suppose I should go back the past couple weeks and see what you idiots are up to…
Naaaaaaaaaaaah, it doesn’t matter cuz yer takin’ it in the derierre from the Tea Party.
Dennis Blair resigns–
http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....resigning/
Shows the ineptness of the Oba-Mao Administration (AGAIN!)
Rumor has it Al Sharpton will replace Blair!
And the DOW is down 376 points. The KommanderIdiot in Chief’s deck of cards is crumbling. Massive Deficit Spending will krush the World Economy.
Did I tell you Atheist Progressives that you are being kicked to the kurb? Your faces are flush in the gutter.
Losers!
Like the Reform Party of old (that the KLOWN signed onto back in the day) – lots of sound and fury.
Signifying little to nothing.
See the right wing billionaires just stringing it along.. Perot had WAY more commitment until he didn’t anymore…
Something interesting about Palin and the funeral of former Alaska Governor Wally Hickel. Apparently she thinks that Palin showing up was crashing the funeral. I would expect a former governor to attend a funeral of another former governor. It happens here in Washington State for former Governor birthdays. Rosellini and Evans really went at each other when they were running against each other, but a few months ago, Evans, Spellman, Gardner, Lowery, Locke, and current Governor Gregoire attended Rosellini’s 100th Birthday party.
Hickel was an interesting character, could show that you can be a conservative and a conservationist at the same time. He left halfway through his term as Governor, when President Nixon appointed him as Secretary of the Interior, and then fired him when he criticised the actions at Kent State. Then in 1990, he ran again for Governor, and won. Served the full term that time.

Goldy, hows that free trainride thing working for ya? You know the transit where you pay 10% of opex; rest of us pay the other 90%.
ah, yes, socialism; to let lazy yuppies continue their self indulgent lives…hmm lets get a free train ride, check out some free books, beg for Blog money, weasel some political gigs, take the free train home, make smoke some dope, watch tv, go to bed.
I’m exhausted thinking of the schedule of a freeloader..
and i had a good glass of wine before writing that; you blog posts were all so boring i had to add some spice

This comment made me think of this XKCD cartoon:

Oba-Mao continues to suck in the eyes of Real Americans–

Oba-Mao now has a clear Marxist track record to try & defend and fool the public into believing he is somehow “moderate”.
What a tangled web Oba-Mao has weaved…
when he clearly practiced to DECEIVE!
@11: Klynical is back
Guess you did not get the memo. Rasmussen has been completely debunked as a credible pollster. the evidence of their bias is very clear. They only become accurate a few days before the election – until then they are republican shills. The evidence is in the link below. Read it if you can (I am still not sure you know HOW to read and understand english).
It is clear that this (Rasmussen) is where you get ALL your polling data.
So now we can truly say that all your posts are totally worthless.
@5: The resignation of Blair shows the incompetence of Dennis Blair (his head should roll for the failed shoe bomb, the Times square bomb and other failures of intelligence where once again, the Defense dept and FBI and CIA did not work together) and the sad state of the security apparatus installed and invented by Bush.
Maybe you should actually think before writing ridiculous crap. That is, if you actually able to think instead of just repeating stoopid things you hear on Faux News.
@10: Very funny Lee! Great cartoon. Poor Klynical.
@8: wrongon
How is that subsidized road working for ya?
How is that fossil fuel working for ya – where the price is determined elsewhere (and you have no control over it) and the oil leaks all over the place and ruins the planet while warming it like a piece of toast?
I laugh thinking of how ignorant you are.
@5: Klynical
You make me laugh.
You have not mentioned the stock exchange for months because it has gone way up since the days of Bush.
Now – you suddenly mention it again – when the debt crisis in Greece is driving it down.
How can a person be so entirely biased and ignorant at the same time?
It is amazing to me how you can even go on vacation – given your lack of critical thinking skills. I think it would be tough for you to even get out of the driveway because you would mistake the road for a river or something.
You have no actual grasp on reality. Are you off your meds again?
cnr-
Wow…how insightful.
Oba-Mao is sinking the entire Progressive ship.
It’s fun to watch.
The HA’ers are always the last to realize the ship is sinking.
The Tea Partiers haven’t even begun to rev up the engines.
@17
Well if Rand Paul is the teabaggers “reving up the engines” then I say “bring it on”.
