Open Thread

With Isaac headed toward New Orleans, Republican National Convention officials are considering a number of worst-case scenarios including a quick roll call and a truncated speech by Mitt Romney, National Journal reports.

"Officials conceded on the record for the first time Monday that plans for an already shortened three-day convention were in doubt... A senior GOP official said no decision had been made and none was likely Monday, but said the convention conceivably could be as short as a single day."

Other reports suggested the convention could be cancelled entirely. I'd imagine the Democratic convention, also already shortened to three days due to the Labor Day Weekend, may also take a hit if the damage from the storm is bad. And if that occurs, I wonder if we have already seen the last political convention ever...

Another Sunday and it's another weekend where I haven't gotten my own projects or errands done. Time for the primaries to get here!

How's your Saturday going? Looks like the editors here have all been busy today, including me. So I'm stopping in here for abit to put up an Open Thread.

Go Bill Nye the Science Guy!!!

"I have a job to do as president, and that does not involve convincing folks that my faith in Jesus is legitimate and real. I do my best to live out my faith, and to stay in the Word, and to make my life look more like His. What I can do is just keep on following Him, and serve others—trying to make folks’ lives a little better using this humbling position that I hold," - Barack Obama.

I am really confused as to why Republicans are freaking out about Akin said. What he said is the official policy stance of the Republican Party, and of its presidential ticket.

Another Monday. Lots of press overdrive re: Todd Akin and this time largely driven by his compatriots who have apparently found a line that conservatives should not cross. But the most important thing today is that Matt Denn is kicking off his re-election campaign, making the usual 3-county announcement. Go out and support him if you can

Another glorious day -- can Fall be far behind?

It is a beautiful Saturday! And it is 23 days til Delaware's Primary. Political junkies everywhere are supporting their candidates today. What are you doing today?

The end of the work week -- I never thought it would get here. This is going to be another weekend working on campaigns for me -- what are you doing this weekend?

It's Thursday and I'm looking for excuses to play hooky tomorrow. First in line as an excuse is a road trip to Philly to go get one of DNic's roast pork sandwiches -- DiNic's was named America's Best Sandwich by Adam Richman on the Travel Channel. Who else wants to go?

Wednesday! Two more days til the weekend. Here is a new ad released by Team Obama hitting back on the Rmoney lies about Medicare:
