Our Christina Bellantoni spent the weekend at Netroots Nation talking to various party operatives, marquee candidates and strategists about what Democrats can do heading into a perilous November election. Can contrasts with Republican rule be drawn among the din of Republican enthusiasm, Tea Party Crazy and double-digit unemployment? Here’s her report on what she heard .

Christina Bellantoni has landed in Las Vegas where she’ll be covering all the goings on associated with Netroots Nation from today through Saturday. Because it’s an election year, Markos’ event will draw a lot of candidates and campaign types, and Christina will be talking with them, doing video interviews, and tweeting updates through the weekend. Conveniently NN is in Nevada this year, where Harry Reid’s reelection bid against Sharron Angle is one of the headline races of 2010. In addition, conservatives are once again staging a counter-NN …

Earlier this week, we heard this conspiracy theory — and I say that in the sense of knowing that conspiracy theories are not infrequently true — about Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) somehow being tied to the state-registered ‘Florida Tea Party’ in an attempt to siphon off votes from whatever Republican he ends up facing. I really wanted to figure out what was going on. And there was enough smoke to make me wonder. So I asked Christina Bellantoni to get to the bottom of what was going on. One thing I’m pretty sure of is that Christina’s head is still spinning from what a bizarre scene it is down there. But here’s her …
Earlier today our Christina Bellantoni wrote a post about the controversy surrounding the ‘Florida Tea Party’. Now, I use the single quotes because I’m not just referring to generic Tea Partiers in Florida. As Zack Roth explained back in January, it’s an officially registered party in the state of Florida. And the folks who put it together actually claim and have asserted the exclusive use of the phrase in Florida, which has driven various Tea Partiers in the state completely nuts. Now, as Christina explained today, Republicans are claiming that the whole Florida Tea Party (FTP)…
You’ll remember that at the beginning of this year we told you about a controversy about the Florida Tea Party, an actual registered political party in Florida which Tea Party activists claimed was trying to control the use of the phrase and thus the movement itself in the state of Florida. Now the party has fielded a bunch of fairly inexperienced and seemingly apolitical candidates in a bunch of races and state Republicans claim its actually a Democratic plot to confuse voters and pull votes away from Republican candidates. Our Christina Bellantoni breaks it down . United States – Political party – Politics – Activism – Florida
Last decade the ‘undisclosed location’ was the preserve of vice presidents. In this decade it’s for rookie Senate candidates who have a habit of saying totally whacked things on TV. In this new piece, our Christina Bellantoni looks at Operation Lockdown, the GOP effort to keep Sharron Angle and Rand Paul away from the media , with the exception of the occasional pre-screened questions from Fox News. John Cornyn and Senate Republicans would like every senate contest this year to be about Obama, Health Care Reform and runaway spending. Every time Sharron Angle kicks the national dialog on to abolishing Social Security to preserve our freedom is at best a wasted…
Once you look close, politics at the state level can get pretty crazy. And South Carolina doesn’t get to have all the fun. Nevada’s a pretty wild place too. Dawn Gibbons is the first lady of the state as the soon-to-be-ex-wife of lame-duck Gov. Jim Gibbons (R), who got beat in the Republican primary last Tuesday. She has a radio show now. And despite being a Republican, she’s supporting Sen. Harry Reid (D). She also served in the state legislature with Reid’s opponent Sharron Angle and actually went head to…
