DWS Should Not Swim With Loan Sharks

Whether you support Tim Canova, as I do, you have to side with him and against multiple Florida Democrats, including DWS, who want to help loan sharks in their battle with the CFPB, a landmark Obama achievement!

Dellamaide: "Hillary Clinton’s ‘insurmountable’ lead is fuzzy math"

The mainstream media is misleading the public by adopting a “fuzzy math” in treating the delegate counts for the Democratic nominating convention as carved in stone.

Given its bias against Donald Trump, the media are happy to parrot the Republican establishment’s prediction that their convention in Cleveland will be an “open convention” — that is, open to manipulation by the apparatchiks and the rules they set.

By the same token, given its pronounced bias in favor of Hillary Clinton, the media gladly repeat the spin of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic establishment by portraying that party’s contest as essentially over.

Not only compromised television anchors like MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, whose wife is drawing support from various Clintonites in her bid for a congressional seat in Maryland, are implying that the Democratic frontrunner’s lead in delegates is insurmountable. As a rule, pundits and even print reporters glibly adopt the inevitability spin.

Dellamaide: "Biased mainstream media miss real campaign story: Bernie Sanders"

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/biased-mainstream-media-miss-real-campaign-story-bernie-sanders-2016-04-05

Establishment press underreports Sanders' late surge.

The trajectory for the Democratic frontrunner, in short, does not look great, but you would never know it from reading the mainstream media’s smug spin.

Purple House District Goes Uncontested By Dems - Why DWS Must Resign

Yet another abject failure by the DNC establishment and the DCCC. VA CD02 may go uncontested with the filing deadline of Thursday. How can the party's leaders be excused from this abject failure?

Virginia Politics: And the 2nd District Democrats are ...?


Suppose they held a primary and nobody came?

For all the sound and fury in the battle for the Republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District, which now ranges from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach, there's been hardly a whisper from the Democratic side.

But the Democrats are still planning a primary, state party spokeswoman Emily Bolton says.

And candidates have just four more business days, until March 31, to declare for office, submit petitions to be included on the ballot and pay their fees, according to the state Department of Elections.

President Obama Wants You To Read This

That was the heading of this email I received from RussFeingold.com announcing the endorsements of POTUS and VPOTUS. Even though I live in Florida, I have supported Senator Feingold throughout his career, including this cycle. It was a disaster of failed leadership at the DNC and DSCC when he lost his seat in 2010.

Anyone who cares about overturning Citizens United should join me in donating $$ at RussFeingold.com

Here's the powerfully compelling email I received. I was so inspired that I had to share it with you:

Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) Returns!

One of the most important moves the United States can make in order to support labor unions is to equalize the "right-to-work" laws so that they become uniform between the many states. The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) would do that. When the Democrats returned to the majority in Congress in 2007, it was introduced for consideration. Senator Obama committed to helping pass the Employee Free Choice Act as President. In December of 2008, even before his transition team finished its work, Battering Rahm Emmanuel convinced Mr. Obama to abandon those plans.

Senator Bernie Sanders just committed, on the public record, to passing it. He states it at roughly the midpoint of this 10-minute interview which he gave to the Washington post after the Univisión debate of 3/9/2016:
