A Senate Race That's About Crunching the Numbers
The most important race in the state Senate this year is not really about Wendy Davis.
It’s about the number 12.
The Fort Worth Democrat tops this year’s list of imperiled candidates. She is running on Republican turf. This is her sophomore effort. And then there’s this: She is a key member of a Democratic dozen with the power to block Republican initiatives in the Senate.
The Senate has 31 members. The regular practice — sometimes ignored when management’s political bacon is in the frying pan — is to consider only those issues that at least two-thirds of ...

Earlier this week, Sen. Scott Brown made a consequential and costly decision for his campaign: to release his recent tax returns and to challenge Elizabeth Warren to do the same.
Talk about a major blunder.
First, it turns out Brown has a haircut problem. The Boston Herald reported that last year, Brown took a deduction of $1401 for hair, make up and grooming. Wow. This is something that will haunt Brown for the remainder of his campaign. Voters don’t much like career politicians who claim to be earnest everymen while spending so much money on their vanity and grooming.
Second, it turns out that Scott Brown and his wife made $2.5 million over the past six years, far more than the Brown campaign and the Massachusetts Republican Party have let on in all their vitriolic and over the top advertisements attacking Warren’s own income. What’s more, Brown’s income has skyrocketed since he entered public service — news that has caught the eye of pretty much every Massachusetts paper.
Earlier this year, Brown claimed his income was “not a heck of a lot. I mean, you know, I don’t make a heck of a lot.” He will have a tough time explaining that given the latest revelations about his income and the fact that he has a healthy place in the top 1 percent of American earners.
Gypsy... you don't read the papers , obviously... are they to difficult for you to understand or do you not read well. The above story about one of your kind... makes me giggle.
I am sure those farmers in his Browns State really appreciate those beauty tips. I thought it was just Rick Perry that spend thousands on looking good for the ladies. But you need to tell RP he is getting fat.

Are racists dumb? Do conservatives tend to be less intelligent than liberals? A provocative new study from Brock University in Ontario suggests the answer to both questions may be a qualified yes.

Question: The writer of this commentary supports using any political advantage available for the Agenda of the Democrats in the Texas Senate. Will he also support the Republicans right to do the same in the US Senate or the House of Representatives? I hope so, or he is a political hypocrite.
