MONDAY'S CAMPAIGN ROUND-UP....Today's installment of campaign-related news items that wouldn't generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers. * After a procedural setback last week on counting absentee ballots, Al Franken's chances of victory in Minnesota have decreased. The Star Tribune's latest analysis concluded that Franken now "faces a daunting task." * Sarah Palin will appear at four campaign rallies on Sen. Saxby Chambliss' (R) behalf today in Georgia. * Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) expects to face a primary challenge and spirited Democratic opponent in 2010, and believes he'll likely win another term. Specter sidestepped questions about a possible Chris Matthews campaign. * Speaking of Matthews, the MSNBC anchor was reportedly in the process of interviewing Obama campaign staffers for his possible bid. Over the weekend, Matthews called the claim "absolutely not true." (His denial seemed directed at the staffing rumor, not his interest in the campaign.) * Speculation about Obama's replacement in the Senate took a turn late last week when Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) inadvertently referred to Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.) as "senator." * The inauguration is just 50 days away. —Steve Benen 12:00 PM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (4)Comments
The folks up in Alaska sure are lucky to have such a selfless, hard working governor. How would that state be able to operate without her? Posted by: Palinoscopy on December 1, 2008 at 12:25 PM | PERMALINKbesides his widely discussed moonie connection, danny davis only makes sense (to me, anyway) as a place holder, clearning the way for a wide-open democratic primary in 2010. That there are only 50 days left until Obama's inauguration is secondary to the fact that there almost 50 full days left for Bush to destroy our economy and our environment and our country!
