• The 2006 Democratic Congressional Victory: An Opportunity for the Left?

Only a long history of Democrats pulling defeat from the jaws of victory led pundits and even progressives to evince surprise at the recent Democratic Congressional victory. Historically, second-term presidents who confront a military quagmire abroad and low-approval ratings at home suffer major Congressional losses (e.g., Lyndon Johnson and the Democrats in 1966 and the Republicans in 1974). With President George W. Bush's approval ratings in the low 30s and a war more than 60 percent of the population opposes (to one extent or another), serious Republican electoral losses resulted. And the hypocrisy of the party of "moral values" beset by corruption and scandal helped keep some fundamentalists at home, enabling the Democrats to pick up out of their gain of 31 seats at least five seats...

• For Obama and Democratic Congressional Gains - Without Illusions

Acknowledging differences between the two major parties should not blind leftists to the reality that Democratic Party national elites have embraced the global neoliberal consensus of free trade, de-unionization, and "limited government" for more than 30 years now. Jimmy Carter's deregulation of the telecommunications, trucking and utility industry prefigured the corporate assault on unionized industry, and the [Bill Clinton] administration's acceleration of Ronald Reagan's deregulation of the financial industry helped engender both the internet and housing bubbles. The Federal Reserve's bail-out of banks and hedge funds that betted incorrectly on the Mexican peso crisis of 1994 and the Asian financial collapse of 1997 merely followed the Reagan administration's Savings and Loan bail-ou...

• Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Launches Ads Slamming Schweikert, Hay

The dust has barely settled after contentious primaries in Arizona's First and Fifth Congressional Districts, but already national Democrats are launching a major round of advertising buys aimed at strengthening their candidates ahead of the November elections. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee purchased a total of more than $280,000 in television advertising time in the two districts. The money will be used on advertisements running now that blast mining industry lobbyist Sydney Hay and former Maricopa County Treasurer David Schweikert. Hay won the Republican nomination in the First District with 40 percent of the vote after national and state Republicans failed to recruit a stronger candidate. After approaching as many as 10 other office-holders and prominent district re...

• Democratic Decision ; Four Candidates Stake Claims On Congressional Nomination.

Primary elections are often about distinctions. Few races in Missouri feature candidates with such unique attributes as the Democratic primary for the U.S. Ninth District congressional seat. One candidate - state Rep. Judy Baker, D-Columbia - has limited experience as a lawmaker, while three candidates - former House Speaker Steve Gaw, former Sen. Ken Jacob, D-Columbia, and Marion County Presiding Commissioner Lyndon Bode - have long government portfolios.

• Remarks at a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Dinner in Miami, Florida

If you are willing to stand with us and work hard, if you understand how difficult and challenging it's going to be, and yet you still are determined to move forward anyway, then I'm telling you, I don't think there's anything that can stop us. And when I say "us," I don't mean Democrats, I mean us as Americans. There is nothing this country cannot accomplish, and I am absolutely confident that our best days are still ahead of us. But we've got to earn it.
