No love for Pam Keith from EMILY’S List

in 2017/Top Headlines by

The premise behind pro-Democratic women’s political committee EMILY’S List goes like this: “Early Money Is Like Yeast,” because it “makes the dough rise.” And for hundreds of pro-abortion rights women running for office since 1985, with the group’s help, it has. But not, so far, for Florida U.S. Senate candidate Pam Keith. In many ways, the political newcomer fits the bill for an endorsement from the group, which would open major doors for Keith’s fledgling campaign and activate its powerful national base of…

The four Republican candidates attempting to succeed Marco Rubio as the next Senator from Florida convened together for the first time on Saturday morning in Tampa.

However, they literally have…

Poll: Hillary Clinton’s standing falls among Democrats

Hillary Rodham Clinton‘s standing is falling among Democrats, and voters view her as less decisive and inspiring than when she launched her presidential campaign just three months ago, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. The survey offers a series of warning signs for the leading Democratic candidate. Most troubling, perhaps, for her prospects are questions about her compassion for average Americans, a quality that fueled President Barack Obama‘s two White House victories. Just 39 percent of all Americans have…

Of course, there’s a guy by the name of LeBron James who stands in their way of actually capturing the Finals, which should make for irresistible entertainment.

Their hope is that Orlando area U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson enters the contest, giving them a classic choice between a perceived centrist and a tried and true liberal. We’re wondering what they might say about the new rankings that have just been released from…
