This is the ad I saw playing on Comcast cable up here in New Castle County this weekend.  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TB-vntJKRs[/youtube] I find it interesting that Charlie Copeland is not running ads yet.   He has not been elected statewide, so he may need to reintroduce himself to the public.   And maybe he just does not have the […]

Thursday night is rapidly approaching, and I must confess to conflicting emotions.  One the one hand, I fully expect Sarah Palin to be a complete disaster.  On the other hand, so does everyone else. So, how does Joe Biden handle the situation of being on stage with a person who has no right to be there? […]

Bailout Nation — Not Enough Votes to Pass?

Filed in National by on September 28, 2008 4 Comments

First, yes, this is wishful thinking on my part. Second, Dennis Kucinich is telling The Hill that he doesn’t know if there are enough votes – R or D – to pass this thing. The meeting was organized by Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) and has been termed the “Skeptics Caucus.” Lawmakers were meeting with well-known […]

It looks like Bush told Gonzo to go to Ashcroft’s bed that night. Which is pretty significant.
