Comment of the Day

Ryan I don’t like your use of the word sham here, I think it implies that our elections are dishonest and I don’t see a lot of evidence of that. Also election season started at least two months ago up here in Wash, Heights, due to the fact our city council member was caught with his hand in the cookie jar our seat has been vacant. We have a very vigorous primary season here with many sound trucks going through the neighborhood with loud speakers blasting out salsa music.

Frankly I don’t see a need for our laws to be changed to make the Republicans more competitive here in NYC, that’s the job of the party, not the govt.

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer and blogger based in Brooklyn, NY. My background is mostly in politics. I've worked on the editorial boards of the New York Sun and New York Post. In 2006, I wrote a book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians, and the Battle to Control the Republican Party" (Wiley). I've also done my share of freelancing, for places like the Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Reason, and RealClearPolitics.

    These days, I'm interested in humanity's ever-expanding understanding of its own irrationality. Hence, this blog.
