Biden’s Cathedral

August 26, 2007

This is the strongest ad running in Iowa today in my estimation. I don’t think that it is enough to overcome Biden’s mis-steps and launch him into the first tier, but it is the sort of resonant, serious, and moving messaging on Iraq that Democrats should be doing. Hopefully, it may help focus Democrats on

Bush Sinks the SCHIP

August 25, 2007

President Bush has chosen political ideology and the corporate health insurance industry over the health and well-being of America’s most needy and vulnerable people, our children. In a stealthy and cowardly move to avoid the news cycle, at 7:30 PM last Friday the Bush Administration sent states new restrictions for the State Children’s Health Insurance

DNC Does the Right Thing

August 25, 2007

Link: The DNC voted unimously to strip Florida of it’s delegates to the nominating convention if it keeps Jan. 29th primary. It’s good to see that the DNC still believes in enforcing the rules and not letting a big state like Florida throw it’s weight around and wreck up the Democratic primary schedule any more

An Appeal from Drinking Liberally

August 25, 2007

UPDATE 8/27 @ 11PM: Thank you! We have met our goal and the PA system has been ordered. Thanks to the astute online shopping savvy of one of our members, we were actually able to obtain the system we wanted for a bit less than estimated: just over $140. The excess funds will be applied

Tim Bee’s Conflicted Campaign

August 25, 2007

Tedski hit the post button sooner on this one, as he frequently does (I admit to being a lazy blogger), but I think we’ve heard the same whispers regarding Tim’s hired help. There is a deep irony in the fact that the consultants Tim has hired to handle his spin are the same ones that

Something new to say about Abortion?

August 25, 2007

It seems that there is never anything new in the debate over abortion. The positions of both sides have become entrenched like the front lines in WWI, and any who stray from the well-worn trenches are easy sport for the snipers. I try to look at the issue from fresh perspectives, keep an eye on

Rove’s Retirement Party Fundraiser 8/29

August 24, 2007

I gotta say, I love what the Pima party is doing here. Good fun with a purpose; a strategy after my own heart:

Bee Buzzes Giffords

August 22, 2007

Tim Bee is looked upon as a serious contender to Gabby Giffords in 2008 because of his moderate reputation (which is not supported by a moderate voting record) and his bipartisan etiquette. Based on Bee’s first foray into electioneering, that view may be premature. Bee is apparently tone-deaf to CD8, and the American people in
