Keith Cardone, 28, of Scranton, Pa., was arrested on an outstanding drug warrant while throwing himself a “Going Away Ba$h” — before being sentenced for his participation in a $3 million local drug-dealing gang. Officers who spotted Cardone’s party fliers and Facebook notice busted him during the farewell festivities at a Scranton bar. Now Cardone could get more jail time than he was already facing.

IA-GOV: Former Gov. Terry Branstad should easily reclaim his old office, possibly by a 20-point margin. Democratic Gov. Chet Culver, D, is one of the most hated governors in America, which is saying a lot. The top-ticket blowout could be big enough to endanger one or two House Democrats currently believed safe. Iowa voters even appear poised to toss out a couple of Supreme Court justices after their 2009 decision on gay marriage.

Yesterday afternoon, the DSCC released a poll showing Rep. Joe Sestak, D, leading Pat Toomey, R, in Pennsylvania’s Senate race. Naturally, I considered the source, but you have to wonder when you see a poll like that: Has something happened to change the race?
