In News from GOP HQ
Shakesville — ... warns GOP against going too far right: "The morning after Republicans lost an upstate New York House seat, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that conservative activists will bring destruction to the Republican Party if they drive out moderate candidates across the country." Again I'll note that when Lindsey Graham is your voice of reason, you know your party has gone off the rails. Speaking of off the rails... Rep.

And when has Bachmann scheduled her Capitol Hill soiree? This afternoon -- November 5 -- a date widely known as Guy Fawkes Night. (You know, "Remember, remember, the fifth of ...

House Calls, Theirs and Ours
MyDD — ... Steve Benen of the Washington Independent thinks Representative Bachmann chose today because it's Guy Fawkes Night, the 304th anniversary of foiled plot by English Catholics to blow up the British Parliament and assassinate James I, the first Stuart monarch. I doubt that Bachmann is that versed in English history. ...
