“I’m much more sympathetic now to Republican candidates who have been on city councils or county commissions and have voted to raise taxes, much more sympathetic then I would have been not being on council,” he said. “At some point with gas prices rising up, you can only cut so much.” – Erick Erickson

Looking at the results of last night’s off-off year elections is a bit like looking at a Jackson Pollack painting. You see in it what you want.
Did the GOP win? Well, yes and no.
They won big in Virginia and in a squeaker in New Jersey, but lost a seat in upstate New York they [...]

It was a heady moment. This week Eric Cantor, leading GOP House member, said that if an election was held today, the GOP would take control of the House.

I’m no big fan of Newt Gingrich, but I also know that he has a lot of political smarts (not that he always uses them appropriately). In the early part of the year, he made a very interesting comment that bares repeating in the midst of the onslaught by the GOP, the teabaggers and the [...]

With each day that passes, the spin from the right gets faster, deeper, and more inaccurate. We here at Bipartisan Report welcome an honest discussion of facts, but in order to do that it seems that we need to unspin some of the headlines that have no factual basis underneath them.

@kylesellers did not like the CNN poll I cited. He said it was like:
“Do you support Obama banning lollipops?”
It wasn’t. The CNN poll did not push poll by telling the people listening what the policies the President, the Democrats, or the Republicans had. They simply asked whether their policies were putting us on the right [...]
