Right Wing Leftovers

  • Norm Coleman and others are seeking to create a right-wing version of the Center for American Progress and hoping to exploit the Citizen’s United ruling to fund it.
  • Mike Huckabee will be heading to Iowa to campaign for GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Vander Plaats.
  • James Dobson has endorsed Kansas GOP Senate candidate Rep. Todd Tiahrt.
  • Apparently both the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints have players who are deeply religious.  Who knew? 
  • According to campaign finance reports, the Alabama Christian Coalition has been accepting money from gambling interests.
  • Finally, here is an argument that you don’t see every day, from Bev Ehlen of Concerned Women for America: “I believe people are discriminated because of their age, because of their sexual practices, because of their weight, they have a speech impediment, because they’re ugly, maybe because they’re good looking. I know that people are being discriminated against. That’s still not a reason to change law.”
