Gov. Quinn, the RNC vs. McCain, and More

Illinoisians, this “Pat Quinn” character is your new Governor! You can tell how different he is from Blago because he is bald. Change We Can Believe In! (CNN)
So after John McCain failed to win them the presidency, the RNC filed a lawsuit to overturn McCain’s favorite law, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act aka McCain-Feingold. Now the DNC has joined the lawsuit… in defense of the act! Thank God for bipartisanship. (MOAR CNN!)
A picture is worth a thousand words. These two are no exception. (Feministe)
Chip Saltsman was not able to woo Republicans with his Magic Negro Christmas CDs, so he is dropping out of the RNC Chairman race. (Nashville Post)
President Obama is considering Republican Sen. Judd Gregg for Secretary of Commerce. Gregg’s replacement would be named by New Hampshire’s Democratic governor, giving Dems 60 Senate seats.

Ah, remember the good old days, when John McCain was the Republican nominee for President of the United States–you know, two weeks ago? Well, he lost the election (which means the GOP no longer has to believe in any of the same shit he does) so the RNC has filed a lawsuit claiming that McCain-Feingold is unconstitutional. Yes, you read correctly. The Republican Party wants the Republican nominee’s crowning achievement overturned. I guess they never liked that geezer after all. (Marc Ambinder)
Well, looks like Palin for President is not off to the greatest start. Here’s five Republican governors telling the TV folks that Palin isn’t going to be ready for the top of the ticket in 2012. They were also unhappy about having to stand behind her at a press conference while she took questions about running for president in 2012. They did not like the appearance that they might be Palin supporters. Because they are not. At all. And they want that to be very clear. (YouTube/CNN)
Palin for Senate isn’t going so well either. What, you didn’t know she was running for Senate? Yeah, she told CNN that she would be interested in running in a special election for Ted Stevens’ seat after he was reelected to and then expelled from the Senate. Only problem with that is that Mark Begich now leads Stevens by over 800 votes with many of the remaining votes expected to come from Begich friendly districts. (The Caucus/Anchorage Daily News)
