 May Primary Candidate Lists

Voting is your patriotic duty!

"Republican National Committee used Philippines firm to set up call blasting Obama on unemployment"reports Chicago Tribune.

NY and DE launch new mortgage investigation. Bloomberg: "New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Delaware’s Beau Biden are investigating banks for failing to package mortgages into bonds as advertised to investors, three months after a group of lenders struck a nationwide $25 billion settlement over foreclosure practices. The states are pursuing allegations that some home loans weren’t correctly transferred into securitizations, undermining investors’ stakes in the mortgages..."

President chastises GOP for blocking infrastructure investment, at AFL-CIO rally. WSJ: "'I’ve said now is the time to do this; interest rates are low, construction workers are out of work… and time after time, the Republicans have gotten together and they’ve said no,' Mr. Obama told a packed ballroom at the Washington Hilton hotel. Still, he told the group that his administration has taken steps to speed up loans and grants for projects and reverse bans on so-called project labor agreements. His reversals allow federal agencies to require that contractors on large-scale public construction projects agree to union representation for workers."

Obama campaign tries to overcome GOP effort to restrict voting rights. NYT: "Many of the laws in question — including the ones in Florida and Wisconsin — are the subject of legal challenges by Democratic groups ... 'We have to assume that these laws will be in effect in November,' Jeremy Bird, the field director for the campaign, said ... Senior advisers to Mr. Obama’s campaign say many of the new laws put a heavy burden on the registration process, making it more difficult to recruit first-time voters. Other laws shorten the early-voting period in states that had tried to expand the voting window..

."NYT edit board calls for comprehensive student loan reform: "... the money the [Senate] bill would raise in a decade would pay for only one year’s subsidy of student loans ... There is no better long-term solution to the nation’s economic troubles than increased access to higher education. It cannot be achieved with short-term extensions."

The Romney policy team is the Bush policy team. Salon's Andrew Leonard: "[Glenn] Hubbard is famous for his role as a chief architect of the Bush tax cuts ... Greg Mankiw is famous for a little flap during the Bush reelection campaign when he annoyed the White House by declaring that free trade and outsourcing of jobs 'was probably a plus for the American economy in the long run.' ... They are campaigning with the explicit promise to return to the economic agenda of Bush."
