Once more into the election rodeo
The post-Election Day glow means a bit of reflection for both winners and losers. But for Kinky Friedman, it’s a Day to look forward. One year from today, he might be the newly elected Governor of Texas — or an also-ran. He still has to capture the Democratic nomination, and his chances to do that and win, as he sees it, are both “excellent.” “I think I’m the only man of the people that’s in the race,” Friedman told POLITICO in a podcast...

They're checkin' my teeth, smellin' my pits, making me turn my head and cough, and asking me if I recite the Red Sox Loyalty Oath every...

Independents' Day: GOP has high expectations, but indie energy may rule
--> ABC News' Rick Klein reports: In the push-pull between Democrats and Republicans, it's a Day for none of the above. On an Election Day that will provide limited data -- and that the GOP looks likely to celebrate, while Democrats tell us to look elsewhere -- there's a surfeit of evidence that independents are the powerbrokers of American politics. A third-party candidate may win a congressional seat in upstate New York. Another might swing a Governor's race in New Jersey....
