The argument is almost convincing: (click on this link if you want to see a bigger screen version) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiQJ9Xp0xxU[/youtube] But given the up front and personal view we’ve all gotten of the repub agenda in action over the past several years, there are probably more (and better) arguments to be made.

The Week That Was
The fantastic kavips surveys the interesting headlines of the day and wonders if we are as cocky as we were last week after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. If I am to believe the evidence of my newsreader, Delaware Liberal doesn’t rate too highly on the cockiness meter, but I have no doubt that we […]
Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish — Doing Better on Climate Change
The Boxer-Lieberman-Warner (S 2191) cap-and-trade bill died a death Friday when it couldn’t get past a Republican filibuster.The bill would have created a carbon cap and trade emissions market that would have required power plants, refineries and factories to pay for the privileges of polluting the environment and contributing to global warming. This bill aims […]
5th Annual Summer Bash June Jam for Jack
You heard about this legendary party and fund raiser for Jack Markell, and you can check out (and contribute to) the legend yourself this weekend, on 7 June. It all starts at 12:30 (rain or shine) and seems to go until the music stops — there is plenty of food and drink, which means all […]
The Verdict on the McCain Speech?
As noted elsewhere, why McCain’s people decided to have him speak on the same night to be compared to two really gifted speakers is beyond understanding. Not just did McCain look not ready for prime time (much less for any leadership position whatsoever), he was in a venue that diminished his message with a crowd […]
Friday Afternoon Blog Hijack — Best News This Week Edition
Another crazy week is pretty much over and while the media has been obsessed over a) making Scott McClellan look delusional (too late, gang!) and b) trying to read the Rules Committee tea leaves (there will be a delegate split, there will be seating, there will not be adding to the HRC narrative); the Coolest […]
Adventures in Maverickyness — Flip Flops Are Not Just for Kids Anymore!
The biggest drawback to the Democrats not officially settled on a candidate is that John McCain gets to fly beneath the press radar, flip-flopping his legacy away, out of view of the folks who nod their heads when they head “moderate” and “McCain” in the same sentence. So now he has flip-flopped — again — […]
Biden for Secretary of State?
Last week, when I wrote about Biden’s excellent op-ed in the WSJ, I hadn’t seen this Newsweek article all but declaring the cabinet post deal done. “(Biden)…is emerging as a major consigliere to Barack Obama—perhaps with his eye on State once again. Among the top items on Biden’s agenda: making sure that Obama has better […]

Libertarians Storming the GOP Gates
Today, suddenly, the traditional media is beginning to be all a-flutter about Bob Barr announcing his run for the Libertarian Party nomination and barely concealing their anticipation over Ron Paul supporters monkey-wrenching the Republican Convention. Why a-flutter? Well, here’s Newt: “Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told The Times today that ‘Bob Barr will make it […]
Even Newt Says Republicans Are Toast
And I think he may mean burnt — read this carefully: The Anti-Obama, Anti-Wright, and Anti-Clinton GOP Model Has Been Tested — And It Failed The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that if Republicans try to run an anti-Obama, anti- Reverend Wright, or (if Senator Clinton wins), anti-Clinton campaign, they are simply going […]
