On January 1, 2010 By

I think it’s safe to say I don’t have much of a future as a psychic, based on how poorly I performed in my predictions for 2009:

Scott Walker will announce he’s running for Governor. (I know, this is an easy one, but I need a gimme or two on this list)

Well, I [...]

GOP gives Coleman a bailout, threatens “years long” fight

On May 27, 2009 By

The national Republican Party has given former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman his own personal bailout, to the tune of $750,000.

Feds expanding investigation into Norm Coleman

On May 15, 2009 By

At the end of last year, I predicted former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman would be implicated and convicted of public misconduct before Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Here’s a few predictions I’m going to make for 2009:

Scott Walker will announce he’s running for Governor. (I know, this is an easy one, but I need a gimme or two on this list) Sometime in 2009, Rep. Paul Ryan will announce he’s going to challenge Sen. Russ Feingold for Feingold’s U.S. Senate seat, [...]

Shivering Sunday tidbits

On December 21, 2008 By

It’s hard to believe it’s December 21st and the 2008 election is still not over. Al Franken now leads incumbent Norm Coleman by 35-50 votes in the Minnesota U.S. Senate recount, but things aren’t over yet.
