FL-18, FL-25: Bushraiser III 10 October 2008 Huh. It used to be that pictures like this: would get people seriously riled up. It used to be that hearing about a Bush fundraiser would motivate people into action. But no one gives a shit about Bush anymore. In two posts today pushing this Bush raiser, we've raised just a couple of grand for the Democrats who will be most hurt by Bush's big money infusion. In a way, this is good. While the wingers might talk about "Bush Derangement Syndrome", the

FL-18: IRL thinks people don’t like Social Security 10 October 2008 (From the diaries. Bush was in Florida raising money to help defeat Annette Taddeo, among other great South Florida Democrats. Let's do our part to help her fight back -- kos) On Wednesday, O2B Better Democrat Annette Taddeo and Bush Rubberstamp Ileana Ros-Lehtinen met in a forum at Miami’s Chamber of Commerce. Ros-Lehtinen refuses to debate Annette head to head, and insisted on getting the questions in advance. But it was sti
- Greetings from Wyoming
Just to get you situated, here's a snippet of my Wednesday afternoon drive into Wyoming (If you get carsick, you might want to skip this, it's a little bouncy. The soundtrack is James McMurtry, "Choctaw Bingo.") Just a look at the mountains, the meadow, the aspens, willows, and cottonwoods. This is why this the mountain West will always be home, why it is such a draw for me. I arrived on a beautiful afternoon in Jackson, ready to meet up with Gary Trauner for another afternoon of canvassing.

52-41 Created: October 10th, 2008 | Written By: Kyle E. Moore 52-41, that’s the Obama national lead according to a just released poll. No, it’s not the Gallup Daily Tracker that has had Obama up by double digits for three days straight, nor the Democrat friendly Daily Kos poll. This is Newsweek’s poll. Given that there are three polls out just today that are within one point of these results, I can safely say that this is not an outlier, though I will cede that this is probably on the high

Well, There’s Good News And Bad News… 10 October 2008 As the NYT and others have reported, the scope and function of the $700 billion bailout plan has shifted again, still before the first dollar has been spent. The good news is that it's probably a change for the better: Last month, when he defended his bailout plan before Congress, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was reluctant to have the government take an ownership stake in the banks that taxpayers are going to rescue. It came as a relief

A Hundred %$#@#&!!%$# Days 10 October 2008 The spy novelist John Le Carre invented a word perfectly suited for Richard Bruce Cheney and George W. Bush -- "politopath," a merger of "politician" and you-know-what. In a few hours, we’ll reach the beginning of the end of the Cheney-Bush regime, the final hundred days. It ought to be a milestone marked by glee, yes? But knowing how soon we won’t have this pair of politopaths to kick around anymore places me somewhere between an aneurysm and a s
