POPSEvangelicals may go Democratic If a fair number of evangelicals were to actually vote for a liberal like Obama in the general election, that would mark a sea change in U.S. politics. I can't help but worry that Hell would also freeze over.

POPSDennis Hastert's seat goes to Democrat Oddly enough, this development may be a good argument for not putting Obama on the ticket if Clinton comes back to win. If the downstate areas of Illinois are going Democratic, the party really doesn't have to worry about Illinois' electoral votes in the fall.

POPSBhutto's niece speaks out against aunt, system Granted, her mother blames Benazir Bhutto for her father's violent death, but these comments are still interesting. Charges of systemic corruption are more credible when they come from somebody who's not actively seeking office.

POPSFake Romney Christmas Cards in SC I find it ironic that the guy who ran George W. Bush's campaign in 2000 is talking about how these tactics backfire. After all, Bush did this kind of stuff to McCain in South Carolina that year, very successfully.

POPSCQ Analyisis: Race and Gender in 2008 Presidential Election I find this analysis kind of amusing when it comes to Southern Ohio. This state has elected women to statewide office before, including a Republican attorney general. Furthermore, the Republican nominee for governor last year was a black man, J. Kenneth Blackwell. Ohio Republicans have no problem voting for either women or minorities. This sounds like another attempt by the political class to blame the potential failure of liberal politics to capture votes on such things like race and gender (see, Jesse Jackson c. 1984 and 1988).
