The Democratic Party’s platform affirms the science of climate change & enough is enough with the spending cuts
We just might be getting past the period of basing Democratic policies and strategies on trying to avoid hurting the tender feelings of some mythological “centrist” voter.
Tuesday Open Thread [9.4.12]
Damn. That summer went by fast. I guess time flies when you are defining Mitt Romney. Below is the Democratic Convention Speaker Schedule tonight….
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You*. Part 1…
*Well, not all as in ALL. Just every primary where I think I know enough to make a prediction. Some of which, invariably, will be wrong.
National Races:
U. S. Senate D’s: Tom Carper routs Keith Spanarelli. Over/under on Spanarelli: 12%.
U. S. House R’s: Tom Kovach routs Rose Izzo. Over/under on Rizzo: 11%.
Come inside for more, including, as the photo suggests, my prediction on the epic 11th SD race.
I’m calling it for Obama: Where the Republicans went wrong & where the Dems can (still) go wrong
I’ve been thinking about how the Democrats have to worry about over confidence this election cycle while Republicans have to worry about everything else. How is it that this election can seem so one sided to me?
I meditated up at the DL survival-plex & gas fracking a go-go on that question, and it came to me. The GOP messed up when they FAILED to nominate Rick Perry.

Happy Labor Day, everyone! The annual Labor Day parade and picnic is definitely on in Wilmington and everybody who wants to be elected to something is there. The downpour isn’t stopping this event!

Grandma Catches Paul Ryan In A Lie
We all know that Paul Ryan is a fit dude, his addiction to P90x is legendary. What we didn’t know till last week that Ryan at one point as a pretty-good marathoner. On a radio interview last week Ryan said that his personal best time for the 26.1 mile race was “. . . under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something.” That’s really good. How good is that? He’d probably finish in the top 10 this year’s Delaware Marathon with a 6 minute 50 second mile pace.
But wait, Ryan is not that fast, not by a long shot. Ryan’s one marathon on record, Grandma’s Marathon 1990, has Ryan running a 4 hour and 1 minute marathon. Big difference.

Late Night Video — New Rules!
Bill Maher looks at the GOP convention and discovers amnesia on the part of the participants. What they tried to hide from the world was interesting. And in Bill Maher’s telling, pretty hysterical.

Officially September and the air already seems that much more political. Sorry for the lateness of this thread — apparently we are all busy today.
Things I Learned from the GOP Convention
Mitt Romney had a little get together in Florida this week with some of his closest angry white friends. From this convention, I learned a few things about the Republican Party. Okay, maybe not learned them, maybe I just had the ideas reinforced.
