Politico reporter Mike Allen, whose hot-about-town Washington status was recently confirmed via an 8,000-word New York Times Magazine profile, has a dream. It's that Republicans win nine Senate seats this November, making politics more fun for reporters!

Sharron Angle, the far-right Senate candidate from Nevada whose ineptitude may keep Harry Reid in office, gave a hilarious interview to Fox News over the weekend explaining her selective media strategy: "We needed to have the press be our friend."

George W. Bush's "people" have started scheduling promotional hoopla for his memoir, Decision Points, coming in November. Fortunately for Republicans, his first one-on-one interview — a primetime special with Matt Lauer! — will take place days after the midterm elections.

George W. Bush is slightly more popular nowadays compared to a couple years ago. (That doesn't mean he'll be campaigning this fall.) But he will be "flooding the airwaves" around election time to promote his memoir, which has Republicans fretting.

Alvin Greene, joke Senate candidate, has gotten more media coverage than all other 2010 candidates.

How did American Crossroads, Karl Rove's "grassroots" fundraising operation, suddenly leap from $200 in monthly donations to a total of $4.7 million? Apparently 97% comes from four billionaires. A Republican Congress better reward them with some top-notch ponies! [Image: AP]

Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon is still defending her career running WWE, television's trashy, oily porn-violence saga. In her latest very demographic-tailored ad, we see two swingin' suburban princesses babble about McMahon's career, eventually reaching the same conclusion: "Ohhhh yeahhh." Cocktails!

George W. Bush won't do any campaigning this fall, probably because it's boring.

Colorado gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has apologized for lifting pages and pages of material for a series of essays he wrote, comically titled "Musings on Water," from a judge's work 20 years earlier. He's in trouble!

Many Democrats are upset with White House press secretary Robert Gibbs for saying, over the weekend, that enough House seats are in play this November for a Republican takeover. Hey, upset Democrats: This was not news to anyone.

Democrats are going to lose pretty badly in November. Because it's four months away, and the unemployment rate is 10 percent. It's that simple. And as a new poll shows, they're losing the message battle in some horrible ways.

Harry Reid's son, Rory — who looks like his father after a 10-day hunger strike — is running for Nevada governor! Here's his first ad, which comically and indiscreetly omits the hated word "Reid."

Nasty Man Rudy Giuliani is endorsing Marco Rubio for Senate in Florida. Though it's more of a petty, pointed non-endorsement of Florida Governor Charlie Crist. Giuliani just hates that guy.

Uh oh, cranky old Senator John McCain's memory is going. "I never considered myself a Maverick," he told Newsweek. Of course, that's just what a real maverick would want you to think.

"Baby-killer" shouter and actual giant baby Congressman Randy Neugebauer hired a sexy consulting firm to help sex up his sexy reelection bid.

So, this happened. Sarah Palin read a joke about Obama's Teleprompter dependence from a piece of paper. John McCain went hennggh a couple times. America breathed a sigh of relief.

Crazy Senator Jim Bunning is retiring. The Republicans selected normal Republican guy Trey Grayson to replace him. But crazy Ron Paul's son Rand (yes, Rand) Paul is also running, and he's kicking Grayson's ass. Time to call in Cheney.

With the fun people out of the Senate race, New Yorkers have to settle for Joe DioGuardi, who is famous because he fathered that American Idol lady. He is Twittering! He has 74 followers. (Kara is not one of them.)

US Senate candidate Joe DioGuardi's official YouTube channel offers this video, apparently filmed with a Flip camera pointed at a TV, of DioGuardi's appearance on Fox & Friends this morning. He fathered someone you may have heard of!

New York Republicans want a US Senate seat, and they would like help buying it from Michael Bloomberg, mayor-for-life and richest man in town. But they have no candidates. So, looks like they're asking Mike's girlfriend to run.
