2. Colorado Accountable Government Alliance’s Hidden Oppo Research Links
The Colorado Accountable Government Alliance (CAGA) has uploaded opposition research and negative campaign propaganda to “hidden” internet links, a recent Media Trackers investigation uncovered. Negative information about several candidates and campaigns targeted by CAGA in the month of October has now appeared on private web pages not found on any other site.
CAGA currently maintains a seemingly stock website with the URL “cagafacts.com”. The site is void of public-facing content, information, links, an index/site map, or any other data with the exception of a small text box in the middle of the page listing basic information about “CAGA FACTS”. The text notes that the site was paid for by the CAGA Independent Expenditure (IE) Committee, that Julie Wells is its registered agent, and that its work is not authorized by any candidate – the standard fare for disclaimers. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. EPA Regulations Wreak Havoc on Ohio Coal, Electric Companies
The Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rules imposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are taking a toll on Ohio’s coal industry and are expected to increase citizens’ electricity costs. Utility MACT, a series of bureaucratic regulations created under the Clean Air Act with the support of President Obama and U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), has already caused coal-fired plant closures and layoffs. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. The Future of Marriage Will be at Stake Next Week
The most important issue for conservatives on election night, aside for the individual elections, will be the question of gay marriage. Maryland, Minnesota, Maine, and Washington – all blue states – will be holding ballot referendums on gay marriage. In three of those states, we will be playing defense. If the ballot question passes, gay marriage will be recognized in those states. In Minnesota, we will be playing offense by proposing a state constitutional ban on gay marriage. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
5. You Too Can Be Like Former Daily Kos Blogger Nate Silver
It is as if the former Daily Kos blogger who went on to be the lefty pollster du jour at the New York Times is some sort of magician. Actually, he’s not. He’s a smart guy to be sure, but my buddy Sean Davis has a great must read about how you too can be the next Nate Silver with a cheap Microsoft Excel spreadsheet plugin whether or not you’ve ever had a Daily Kos account. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
