Those of us who report on and analyze politics for a living have been talking ad nauseam about voters’ frustration and anger.
It’s the hot topic that presumably explains Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Bernard Sanders, as well as the problems that political veterans such as Hillary Rodham Clinton…
Democrats may still have nightmares about recounts, hanging chads, and Florida, but the Sunshine State should be firmly lodged on any list of presidential swing states. Intelligent people can debate whether Colorado, North Carolina, and Virginia are pure toss-ups, but the presidential nominees seem pre-destined to compete for Florida’s…
Arkansas Senate. Former U.S. Attorney Conner Eldridge announced his challenge to Sen. John Boozman. “Washington is broken,” the 37-year-old Democrat said in a boilerplate release. “I’m running for the Senate because I’m committed to doing everything I can to fix it for Arkansas and for our country.”

Given there are still four and one-half months until the Iowa caucuses, why would any Iowa Republican make a final decision right now about which candidate he or she will support?

While Trump’s latest salvo (no matter the subject) is always entertaining and the size…
As Donald Trump dominates the headlines and political talk show circuit, it’s worth pondering what impact he is having – or could have – on next year’s elections.
It probably goes without saying that there is little chance that the multi-millionaire real estate mogul and self-promoter will be the…
Who knew the Democratic presidential race would be fundamentally changed in the blink of an eye? But that happened recently when California congressman Eric Swalwell, 34, endorsed former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.
Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a little.
In the email I received from the O’Malley campaign announcing the…
