An overwhelming majority of the 1,800 delegates at the party’s state convention passed the conservative platform Saturday. The move surprised many in the Maine GOP, which has a half-century reputation for moderation. The state’s two Republican US senators – Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins – are both considered moderates, as is their predecessor, Bill Cohen, who served in Bill Clinton’s cabinet. “If you’re not a moderate, you don’t get elected in Maine,” says political consultant Chris Potholm, a professor of government at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. “Any candidate who gets nominated is going to ignore that platform, or he or she is going to lose.” The development in Maine coincides with one in Utah, where the tea-party movement ousted Sen. Robert Bennett (R) at the state’s GOP nominating convention Saturday. Although Senator Bennett is generally considered a conservative, tea partyers had targeted him largely because of his 2008 vote in favor of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) for banks. In Maine, the newly adopted GOP platform outlines various changes, although its ambiguous language leaves the meaning of many sections open to interpretation. There’s a call to restore “Constitutional Law as the basis for the judiciary,” to “reassert the principle that ‘Freedom of Religion’ does not mean ‘Freedom from Religion,’ ” Page 3 to “return to the principles of Austrian Economics,” and to remove “obstacles created by government” to the private development of natural gas, oil, coal, and nuclear power. Other parts are clearer: a rejection of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, elimination of the US Department of Education and the Federal Reserve, and a freeze and prohibition on stimulus spending. Healthcare is “not a right” but “a service” that can be addressed only by using “market based solutions.” The wide acceptance of the platform at the convention surprised even its co-authors. “I had no inkling this would pass, and frankly we’d been told as much by people running the convention,” says co-author Steven Dyer, an evangelical youth pastor and vice chair of the Knox County Republican Committee, which sponsored the document. “They didn’t even make copies of it for the delegates. They just read it to them from the podium.” Mr. Dyer says he and his co-authors aren’t members of the tea party, although some have attended such events. They were motivated by disappointment with the party’s “progressive” wing, which had “forgotten what it means to be a Republican,” he says. He agrees that the document is vague in parts, but that was because they had expected it to be merely a draft to begin negotiations with less-conservative party members. To their amazement, it passed with the support of not only tea-party groups, evangelical Christians, and Ron Paul libertarians, but also a large number of presumably rank-and-file conventioneers. State party chair Charles Webster denied that the platform represented a major change, saying it was just “more specific” than past platforms. “These are things that Republicans believe, especially working-class people,” he says. “If it had been really controversial, it wouldn’t have passed.” It will help Republican candidates get elected, he says, even though Maine has been becoming increasingly Democratic in recent years. Democrats currently control the governor’s mansion, both houses of the state Legislature, and both US House seats. Barack Obama won 15 of 16 counties in the 2008 election. Democratic control of the Portland City Council is threatened not by Republicans, but by Greens. Seven Republicans, four Democrats, and two independents are running to replace Gov. John Baldacci, who is term-limited. Longtime Republican state legislator Peter Mills, a moderate gubernatorial candidate, says it’s a mistake to underestimate the sentiment that fuels the tea-party activists. “They’re very small, very vocal, and very intense, but they reflect a wider feeling of frustration, discontent, and lack of confidence in government,” he says. “The challenge is to be able to harness that anger and frustration and, once elected, convert it into significant change.” www.csmonitor.com Region 2: Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania Vice president afraid of pulling a 'Blumenthal' WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden has joked about avoiding a "Blumenthal mistake," a

  • July 2016 Missouri Poll
    HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. from July 23 through July 27, 2016. For this section of the poll, a total of 400 likely Democratic primary voters and 400 likely Republican primary voters were interviewed statewide by telephone. Those interviewed were randomly selected from a phone-matched Missouri voter registration list that included both land-line and cell phone numbers. Quotas were assigned to reflect primary voter turn-out by county. The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 5 percentage points for each primary voter group. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. 1 *** 400 LIKELY DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTERS *** QUESTION: If the Deorati priary eletio for Missouri’s U.S. Seate seat were held today, which one of the following candidates would get your vote: (LIST READ, ORDER ROTATED) Jason Kander 67% Cori Bush 7% Robert Mack 4% Chief Wana Dubie 2% Undecided (NOT READ) 20% QUESTION: If the Democratic primary election for Governor were held today, which one of the following candidates would get your vote (LIST READ, ORDER ROTATED) Chris Koster 73% Charles Wheeler 8% Eric Morrison 3% Leonard Joseph Steinman II 1% Undecided (NOT READ) 15% QUESTION: If the Democratic primary election for Lieutenant Governor were held today, which one of the following candidates would get your vote (LIST READ, ORDER

  • A Short History of the Missouri Catholic Conference: 1967-2007
    A Short History of the Missouri Catholic Conference 1967 - 2007 By Mike Hoey Missouri Catholic Conference 600 Clark Ave., Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 Copyright 2007 1 INTRODUCTION I have sought to write a candid history of the Missouri Catholic Conference (MCC) that recounts both the highs and lows of the MCC and does not ignore troubling events in the life of the Church or the work of the Missouri Catholic Conference. Nevertheless, I must cheerfully confess that I have worked for the MCC since 1979, lobbied on behalf of its public policy agenda and have great affection for the many people – bishops, staff, MCC department and Public Policy Committee members and MCC Citizen Network activists - who have sought to create a culture of life and compassion in the state of Missouri. In a short history such as this one, it is inevitable that certain events and people will be overlooked. I have focused on events where the role of the MCC appeared to be crucial. Issues that enjoyed overwhelming support, such as the constitutional amendment defining marriage, have been bypassed in favor of issues that could not have become law or public policy without MCC involvement. I have also not hesitated to spend more time on some issues at the expense of others, basing these decisions on the importance of the MCC’s role and my understanding of what is most historically significant. I have tried to document MCC related events through the use of the MCC legislative files, newspaper stories, and interviews with key individuals, but some of the stories related are based upon my personal recollections.
