I've Got No Love for Seven Out of 10 Black Voters in Californianew
Yes, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, was a day when you truly felt proud to be an American. But then, on Nov. 5, I read something that changed all that.

Why the Death of the Virginia GOP Could Be Good for Republicansnew
As the polls continue to go south for John McCain, and the chances of Senate hopeful Jim Gilmore picking off Mark Warner slip from infinitesimal to "President Kucinich" levels of impossibility, we thought we'd take a quick look at the current state of the Old Dominion's convulsing conservative landscape.
