The James Carville Melancon Strategy Begins To Take Shape

Posted on March 12th, 2010 by macaoidh

Earlier this week the Times-Picayune’s James Gill, in a column panning Charlie Melancon’s campaign to date as a threat to the viability of politics as Louisiana’s state pastime, asked whether we will soon see the handiwork of Democrat strategic guru and New Orleans resident James Carville as Melancon’s side attempts to climb out of a [...]

The Latest Poison Pill In The Health Care Debate

Posted on March 12th, 2010 by macaoidh

Posted on March 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

Back in January, we posted an update on the lobbying war between FedEx and UPS over the question of regulating the former under the National Labor Relations Act as opposed to the Railway Labor Act it currently falls under. Developments this week merit a progress report on the fight.
