Posted on August 29th, 2010 by JMC Enterprises

Last night, both Louisiana and West Virginia conducted their Congressional primaries.

2010 elections, 8/24 edition (Establishment or insurgent ?)

Posted on August 25th, 2010 by JMC Enterprises

Primaries were held last night in Alaska, Arizona, Florida, and Vermont. Overall, primary voters sent mixed messages as to whether they prefer the safety of “establishment” candidates or the risk of insurgent candidates who may or may not have personal baggage.

Melancon CLEAR Act Amendment Passes, But Draws Fire From Louisiana Delegation

Posted on July 30th, 2010 by macaoidh

This afternoon, as the House began preparations for a vote on the job-killing CLEAR Act, which the Congressional Budget Office incidentally estimates will bring about some $14 billion in litigation costs, dramatics ensued when Louisiana’s lone House Democrat put forth an amendment purporting to lift the deepwater moratorium that the rest of the delegation strenuously [...]

Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-Baton Rouge) took to the airwaves this morning, appearing with Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) on CNBC to talk about the CLEAR Act, which goes to a House vote today.
