Liveblogging the State of the Union Speech

By liberalgeek January 27, 201019 Comments

Tonight, President Obama will give his State of the Union speech (hint, he will say that the state of the union is strong...). As usual, we will be liveblogging the speech starting at 8PM. The speech is given this year as the reverberations of the Massachusetts special election are still being felt, Haiti has moved from search-and-rescue to recovery-and-burial, healthcare reform has moved from "possible in our time" to "cross your fingers", Iraq is winding down while Afghanistan is ramping up and our economy has stopped falling and is poised for a recovery. So stop by at 8 and you will see our link for the liveblog application. And as always, it is BYOB.

Who Will Run and How Do They Stack Up?

By liberalgeek January 26, 201034 Comments

With Beau Biden's withdrawal from the Senate race yesterday, we have a lot of scrambling going on. Let's discuss the pros and cons of each of the prospective Democratic candidates. First, let's dispense with Lt. Governor Matt Denn. I spoke to him yesterday. He isn't going to run. His two kids come first in his life, and not seeing them for days at a time would be an abdication of his most important role. But let me say for the record, he would be my first choice.
