The Real Radicals

Tags: 2010 Elections, Ann Kirkpatrick, Gabrielle Giffords, Alex Sink, Suzanne Kosmas, GOP Opponents, The Real Radicals

Yesterday, we watched and waited as Republicans in Arizona and Florida cast their votes in competitive primary races. The outcome? A slew of ultra-conservative candidates ready to take on our pro-choice Democratic women in November. These Republican nominees are extremists fighting for policies that are harmful towards American women and families.

Two of our great candidates, Alex Sink and Cong. Suzanne Kosmas, will learn tonight which of the Republican candidates they face in November. Both women will face highly competitive races this fall in this critical swing state.

Michele Bachmann doesn't speak for me either

Tags: MN-06, Tarryl Clark, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, GOP Opponents, 2010 Elections

Here we go ladies and gentlemen; the fight for Minnesota's sixth congressional district is officially on. Michele Bachmann, the champion of the Tea Party Caucus, defender of the radical right, and leader of all things anti-choice has released her first ad attacking EMILY's List-endorsed candidate Tarryl Clark. It is no surprise that the ad targets fiscally responsible, results-focused Tarryl, and promises more attack ads "coming soon."

Tom Ganley bravely embraces ignorance

By Lisa McIntire on 08/20/2010 @ 01:00 PM

Tags: Betty Sutton, Tom Ganley, OH-13, GOP Opponents, 2010 Elections

One thing is for certain: in his bid for Congress, Republican candidate Tom Ganley is willing to spend everything - and say anything - in a desperate attempt to unseat Rep. Betty Sutton. He has loaned his campaign $6.5 million as of the end of June, and now he's resorting to embarrassingly ignorant comments to get attention. When asked about President Obama by Roll Call yesterday, Ganley replied, "I don't have a position on whether he's a Muslim."

Can I get a factcheck, please?

Tags: Are you kidding me!?, NC-Sen, Elaine Marshall, GOP Opponents

A fact check for the GOP, that is. It's apparent that the Republicans have let yet another thing fall through the cracks - reality.

An ally for what?

It seems that the lines are being drawn in Washington state's Senate race. Republican challenger Dino Rossi is trying to take advantage of the harsh political climate to unseat one of our heroes -- Sen. Patty Murray.

Something rotten in the state of North Carolina

No one likes a lot of extra hot air in the summertime - not from their weatherman, and certainly not from their senator.

In good company… with Michele Bachmann?

By Jen Bluestein Lamb on 08/04/2010 @ 11:22 AM

Tags: Michele Bachmann, Tarryl Clark, MN-06, GOP Opponents, 2010 Elections, US House

I never thought I'd say this, but I am so proud to be in Michele Bachmann's campaign literature. Yes, that's right -- proud. You see, EMILY's List is in good, good company, and Michele Bachmann -- well, she's running scared, though her fear hasn't curtailed her outrageousness one bit.

Boxer fights for us - now we must fight for her

By Hilary on 07/30/2010 @ 09:34 AM

Tags: Barbara Boxer, 2010 Elections, CA-Sen, GOP Opponents

There is no time to waste in supporting Barbara Boxer’s re-election campaign: just recently, the well-known Cook Political Report ranked this Senate race between Boxer and Carly Fiorina as a ‘toss-up.’ It boils down to this: Barbara is vulnerable, and it is critical that she gets the resources she needs to protect her seat. The GOP is practically salivating over the possibility of ousting her, which means we cannot let up until she is re-elected in November.

The momentum for another EMILY's List gubernatorial candidate is picking up, and we couldn't be more excited! Voters in Florida are responding to the positive message of our candidate, Alex Sink. But don't take our word for it - she has made an impressive jump in the polls.

Mary Jo Kilroy rolls up her sleeves for American families

By Jen Bluestein Lamb on 07/21/2010 @ 04:12 PM

Tags: Mary Jo Kilroy, OH-15, GOP Opponents, US House

Last night, I had the privilege of spending some time with Cong. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15), a true progressive leader from Ohio. I couldn’t believe I was getting the opportunity to talk to Mary Jo the night before her work on financial reform became law. Mary Jo was one of only two freshman on the conference committee, and she worked hard to write this bill and get it passed. But you know what? She wasn’t resting on her laurels. She was already talking about what she was going to do next, what more needed to be done for American families.

Roxanne Conlin's coalition grows

Tags: Roxanne Conlin, IA-Sen, GOP Opponents, 2010 Elections

It’s a safe bet that Republican pundits are taking a second look at this year's Senate race in Iowa, where Roxanne Conlin is poised to give GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley the race of his life.

What an honor! Rossi and Blunt named to "Crooked Candidates" list

By Hilary on 07/20/2010 @ 06:55 PM

Tags: Roy Blunt, GOP Opponents, US Senate, WA-Sen, MO-Sen

Our hearty congratulations to Roy Blunt and Dino Rossi on their latest accomplishment: making the nonpartisan Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s list of most unethical and corrupt candidates! It really takes a whole lot of scandal, dishonesty, and shadiness to make the list of just under a dozen out of 2,300 candidates – we hope Blunt and Rossi are truly proud of making it to the top.

Diane Denish's opponent Susana Martinez is taking a cue from her supporter Sarah Palin and trying to run a campaign solely on "sound-bites."

Why I'm losing sleep

My mother always told me it's when people get most desperate that their worst selves come out. Well, Iowa Republicans must be pretty desperate. With Roxanne Conlin giving Chuck Grassley the run of his life, Republican bloggers are taking to their computers to undermine Conlin the best way they can come up with… by ogling and leering at pictures of her and speculating about whether she's had plastic surgery.

Outrageous Attack on Sen. Patty Murray

By Emily on 07/13/2010 @ 04:09 PM

Tags: Patty Murray, WA-Sen, 2010 Elections, GOP Opponents

Right-wing special interest groups have already started a vicious attack campaign against Sen. Patty Murray, complete with misleading TV ads costing over $750,000 that start airing today up and down Washington state. Patty got into politics to prove to people that a "mom in tennis shoes" could actually make a difference. Now, a group of Bush-era Republicans called the American Action Network are trying to bludgeon Patty with those very words -- watch this infuriating ad for yourself to see what she's up against.
