The first thing to understand about Corey Stewart, Virginia’s long-shot Republican Senate candidate and perhaps America’s purest political distillation of Donald Trump, is that he’s crazy. I found out when I sent a routine e-mail to his press office, in hopes of obtaining an event schedule. In the campaign version of dialing 411 and having the Verizon CEO pick up, an angry Stewart himself answered:
Rolling Stone has been the most misleading left-leaning publication we’ve worked with. Is there any good reason for us to cooperate with you?...

It was a gloomy evening Tuesday night at Fox News as word of the sweeping Democratic victories in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere began trickling in. While the primetime fire-breathers did their best to ignore the results, they couldn’t dance around it completely. When Fox News host Tucker Carlson received news that Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie had lost to Democrat Ralph Northam, his delivery became uncharictaristically slow and dejected. Talking Points Memo publisher Josh Marshall said the normally fulminating Carlson had been reduced to a “sad trombone” over the news. Harrowing, bracing moment when Tucker Carlson shapeshifted into an actual.

It was a sad night for Republicans Tuesday, with aspiring officeholders wiped out in New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere. The night, however, may have most painful for Ed Gillespie. Once locked in a close race in Virginia’s gubernatorial race against Democrat Ralph Northam, Gillespie held out hope for a surprise upset, even changing his birthday to Election Day on his Twitter account to spark the social network’s streaming balloons function when people visited his page. Gillespie ultimately lost to Northam by more than 200,000 votes. And in the throes of defeat, nobody on the candidate’s team seemed to remember to change.

Donald Trump Jr. didn’t just turn his clocks back an hour on Sunday — he must have rewound them an entire day. On Tuesday, Stephen Colbert torched the President’s son for apparently not knowing when Election Day actually is. Don Jr. was trying to rally Virginians to get out and vote for Republican Ed Gillespie — he just happened to be off by a good 24 hours. Below is Junior’s initial “tomorrow” screw-up, which was posted on the morning of Election Day. Don would repeat his mistake, and Gillespie went on to lose the race. Let’s take @EdWGillespie across the finish line.

Virginia police officers have been captured on video throwing a reporter on the ground while arresting him. The incident happened over the weekend. Mike Stark, a reporter for the liberal media site Shareblue Media, is seen in the video getting into an argument with a Fairfax County police officer on Saturday while covering a parade which included Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie. A police officer is seen telling Stark to “get out of the road” and “stay on the sidewalk.” Once the conversation becomes heated, a second officer can be heard telling Stark, “If you curse again, you’re going to go to.

In a tweet Friday, CNN contributor Brian Fallon compared Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie to the white nationalists who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia. “Live look at Ed Gillespie campaign strategy meeting,” said Fallon before including the famous image of shouting tiki-torch bearing protesters in Virginia.

In a segment on NBC’s Today on Tuesday, Mitt Romney campaign advisor Ed Gillespie joined Matt Lauer where he was hammered with questions relating to the Gop nominee's "Jeep ad." Many members of the media and fact-checkers have said the ad is misleading. “The ad is accurate,” Gillespie insisted. “Sometimes the truth hurts a bit, but it’s the truth."...

Mitt Romney's attack on the very fabric of public opinion polling yesterday was, apparently, not just a way to contemptuously dismiss a voter with whom he disagreed, but part of the launch of a new strategy. On Tuesday night's The Rachel Maddow Show, host Rachel Maddow detailed an emerging trend of Romney supporters and staffers trying to buck up their own spirits by simply reworking the rules of public opinion polling to make it so their guy comes out ahead. Romney adviser Ed Gillespie continued the rollout on Fox and Friends this morning, and managed only to get resident Mediaite conservative Noah Rothman to agree with Rachel Maddow.

Former Republican National Committee chairman and advisor to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, Ed Gillespie, appeared on Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning to vent some frustrations with recent public polling showing his candidate trailing President Barack Obama. Gillespie echoed orthodoxy among conservative bloggers that pollsters are oversampling Democrats and showing the race to be far less competitive than it probably is at this stage. He focused on Ohio which, as is often said, is critical to Romney’s electoral prospects. But sampling alone does not explain why Romney should be closer to even with Obama – the samples of the Buckeye State are quite reasonable. This should worry the Romney campaign and get them focusing on messaging rather than attacking pollsters.

Stephen Colbert is back after a two week hiatus, and not a moment too soon. Mitt Romney has led a fairly disastrous campaign as of late, and Stephen seemed to be chomping at the bit to make fun of his troubles.
"Obama is now attacking Romney's record," Colbert said, outraged. "It's like he's hellbent on making the word 'Bain' synonymous with 'a source of harm or ruin.'"
He chided Obama For America for running a new advertisement highlighting Romney's wabbly rendition of "America the Beautiful." Said Stephen, "Mitt was originally on key. But he outsourced many of those notes to India."
But Romney's most recent embarrassment, when Ed Gillespie said that Romney "retired retroactively" from Bain Capital in 1999, although he appears to have been legally in charge of the company through 2002, gave Colbert much more material to work with.
An Obama surrogate took some flack for saying hinting that...

Since President Obama is currently leading Mitt Romney by double-digit margins in some states with Hispanic voters, the Republican presidential candidate is currently walking a fine line talking about immigration reform. On CNN's State of the Union today, Candy Crowley asked Romney advisor Ed Gillespie if Romney would immediately repeal Obama's executive order targeted at younger immigrants or if he would keep it in place. Gillespie said it would be up for review, but would not say exactly what Romney would do about it.

8:00pm: "American Idol" on Fox. Someone gave me a bit of shit last night for my comment that I never feel more disconnected from the average American as I do when this show is airing. To be clear, I didn't mean this as any kind of judgement on relative levels of intellect, but that I'm bewildered as to why people have been so consistently captivated by what is basically a glorified open mic night.

Amazon.com Inc. said Tuesday that it has increased its investment in Joyo.com, an online shopping platform in China. On the news, Amazon shares set a 52-week high and closed up 4.6% to $73.65. Loss-making Joyo has expanded rapidly in the three years since Amazon first invested in it, but it has taken that long for Joyo to raise its level of service to where Amazon feels comfortable adding its name to the logo, Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, told reporters. Amazon owns 100% of Joyo, but did not give a breakdown of the investment.
