    Democrat HACK Terry McAuliffe to Announce Run for Virginia Governor

    Terry McAuliffe announces his intention to kick off his campaign for VA governor on January 7, 2009.

    Damn, does 2010 look like a Republican year or what? Roland Burris, Caroline Kennedy and now Clintonista and Democrat Party HACK Terry McAuliffe on the Virginia ballot.

    On November 10, 2008, McAuliffe filed to form an exploratory committee for Governor of Virginia.He told reporters that he plans to spend the next few months traveling to “every corner of Virginia” to measure interest in his possible run. McAuliffe told The Washington Post that he is “best suited to carry the Democratic banner because he will campaign as a business leader who can bring jobs to Virginia.”He also cited his ability to raise money for down-ticket Democratic candidates.

    In the primary, McAuliffe is expected to face at least two well-known Democrats who have announced their candidacy. State Sen. Creigh Deeds, 2005 nominee for Attorney General, and Del. Brian Moran, the House Democratic Caucus Chairman, have already joined the race. Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell is the only person running thus far for the Republican nomination for governor.

    Wonder if Obama will get on board for Terry? You know Carville and Bill and Hillary will be running the show for Terry.

    A divisive Democrat Primary could help the GOP recapture this seat.

    Stay tuned…….

    Shocker: Harry Reid Called Hot Rod Blagojevich to Push Against African-American Appointees for Obama’s Senate Seat

    Reid and Jackson and Duckworth

    Sources say Senate majority leader Harry Reid (left) pushed against Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (center), and suggested Gov. Rod Blagojevich appoint state Veterans Affairs chief Tammy Duckworth (right) to President-elect Obama’s vacant Senate seat.

    Not really a shocker – but Democrat Party politics as usual.

    Congressman and COS to Barack Obama called Illinois Governor Hot Rod Blagojevich with the bosses’ recommendation for his U.S. Senate seat and why not Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

    Days before Gov. Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, top Senate Democrat Harry Reid made it clear who he didn’t want in the post: Jesse Jackson, Jr., Danny Davis or Emil Jones.

    Rather, Reid called Blagojevich to argue he appoint either state Veterans Affairs chief Tammy Duckworth or Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, sources told the Chicago Sun-Times.

    Sources say the Senate majority leader pushed against Jackson and Davis — both democratic congressmen from Illinois — and against Jones — the Illinois Senate president who is the political godfather of President-elect Barack Obama — because he did not believe the three men were electable. He feared losing the seat to a Republican in a future election.

    Blagojevich spokesman Lucio Guerrero confirmed that Reid (D-Nev.) and U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) — the new chief of the Senate Democratic political operation — each called Blagojevich’s campaign office separately Dec. 3. Sources believe that at least portions of the phone conversations are on tape.

    Does anyone NOW think Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats will now have the BALLS to block Roland Burris (also African-American) from taking the Obama seat next Tuesday?

    Flap and the world wants to hear Harry Reid on tape which will undoubtedly be “leaked” when Blago is eventually indicted. Did Harry Reid pan the appointment of Jesse Jackson, Jr., Danny Davis or Emil Jones because of their race? Is this why he suggested they could NOT win the seat in two years?

    And, will Harry Reid be called to testify in Hot Rod’s trial?

    This seat looks like a GOP capture every day.

    Should Al Franken prevail in the U.S. Senate race in Minnesota, it will be the perfect storm for the national GOP.

    There will be a TRIFECTA of Caroline Kennedy, Roland Burris and Al Franken.

    A TRIFECTA of

    • Nepotism
    • Corruption
    • Incompetence

    Who cares if you have ONLY 41 votes to sustain a filibuster. This number will ONLY hold up for two years anyway with this trio.

    • The three-page complaint is signed by Nancy James, deputy attorney general, and was mailed on Dec. 11 to the clerk at the Ventura County Superior Court.

      Neither James nor any other deputy attorneys general were available to comment on the complaint Tuesday, said Abraham Arredondo, spokesman for the attorney general’s office.

      The four charges stem from alleged intimidation of or threat of injury toward at least three people.

      Count one alleges a violation of civil rights after Angeles “unlawfully and by force or threat, (did) injure, intimidate, interfere with, oppress or threaten Louis Pandolfi, in the free exercise and enjoyment of a right and privilege” to peacefully demonstrate.

      Count two alleges Angeles unlawfully used force or violence against John Phillips, and “inflicted serious bodily injury.” Count three alleges Angeles unlawfully used violence against Pandolfi; and count four alleges Angeles used force or violence against Sandra Quiring.

    • It would be an embarrassment for the Democratic party, which suddenly seems to know nothing but since November 4. But for Republicans, the possibility of Franken, Caroline, and Burris all making it into the Senate is like hitting the trifecta — incompetence, nepotism, and corruption, respectively, will be the buzzwords for our new Democratic Senate.
    • Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) threatened Friday to filibuster any attempt to seat Democratic Minnesota Senate candidate Al Franken next week.
      The newly minted National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) chairman said he had not whipped votes in the GOP caucus, but added that he could not imagine any members defecting and seating Franken without a certificate of election.
      +++++++
      A court challenge looms and Franken will not be seated next week.
    • Does the Constitution allow the Senate to refuse to seat Roland Burris, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's surprise appointee? In a word, yes. Here's why.
      +++++++
      Doubtfut the US Supreme court would allow such machinations when the intent of the Senate is clear. And, it is extremely doubtful the GOP will help the Democrats to threaten to exepl Burris.
      Why knock out an easy candidate to beat in 2010?
