Outside the Beltway

The United States is as politically polarized as it was in 1865.

We’re actually not speculating about who might be running any more than we used to.

Is someone who’s only be a Senator for just over 100 days a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2016?

The possible presidential contender has an op-ed in a rather dubious outlet.

One Virginia Republican Member of Congress recently got a lesson in what going against the GOP’s hyperpartisan atmosphere feels like.

The Republican field for 2016 is more wide open than any we’ve seen in a long time.

For the moment, Hillary Clinton looks unbeatable if she chooses to run in 2016

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul won a completely meaningless straw poll.

Virginia’s Governor’s race may be about to get very interesting.

CPAC’s organizers have decided not to invite the most popular Governor in the country.

Ooops.

Chris Christie looks unstoppable in his bid for re-election

Cory Booker’s decision to explore a run for the U.S. Senate has upset the powers-that-be in New Jersey Democratic politics.

The attempted coup against John Boehner resembled something you’d see in a banana republic.

Hell hath no fury like a Christie scorned.

Last January 1, some of us made a series of predictions. Here’s how we did.

At this moment, Chris Christie is the most popular Governor in the country.

Guess who’s back?

Judging by the record of the past decade and a half, movement conservatism has accomplished very little.

The ink is barely dry on Barack Obama’s victory and some conservatives are already focusing blame on the Governor of New Jersey.

President Obama easily won re-election last night, carrying virtually all of the battleground states. Meanwhile, abortion, gay marriage, and recreational marijuana also won big.

The bromance between President Obama and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has now become a love triangle with the addition of Bruce Springsteen.

Republicans already seem to be blaming Hurricane Sandy in the event Mitt Romney loses.

It’s just a few days until the 2012 campaign ends, and the jostling for position for 2016 begins.

Pundits on the left and the right are having a hard time understanding what Chris Christie’s praise of the President is all about.

A week out from the election, President Obama is a heavy favorite to win re-election. But the major press continues to pretend otherwise.
