Polling: In Which We Find Republicans Still Have a Problem
It is fair to note that this poll shows a pretty toxic environment for both parties, but it seems clear that if you are a Congressional Dem, you have abit of an edge to build from. And if you are a Congressional repub, the massive media spin (and media lock) isn’t exactly getting you alot of traction. Not yet, at least.
UPDATED: More Obama Q&A

President Obama at the Republican House Conference
I had no idea that this was going to be televised, but this is my only day in the office today so I wouldn’t have seen it anyway. But this video is from CSPAN for everyone who could not watch it live: This is pretty long, about an hour and 20 mins or so. I […]

State Of The Union Preview
The White House has released excerpts of tonight’s SOTU speech: Excerpts of the President’s State of the Union Address We face big and difficult challenges.

Liveblogging the State of the Union Speech
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.
Good Advice: Actions That Can Be Taken Now
Probably one of my least favorite genres of blog posts right now is “What Obama Should Do” posts. Everyone is full of good advice, but I tired of talking and I want action. DarkSyde at Daily Kos has an action/advice post that is worth a look: It’s refreshing to see the WH take notice of […]
David Plouffe To The Rescue
Yesterday the White House announced that David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, would take an expanded role. Today an op-ed by Plouffe appeared in the Washington Post called “November doesn’t need to be a nightmare for Democrats.” I hope Democrats are listening to him: We still have much to do before November, and time is running […]

Washington Times: Obama Has Passed More Cuts Than Bush
I know, what you’re thinking: Delaware Liberal is linking to the Washington Times? Has the world gone mad? The Washington Times did a study of the budget under Bush and Obama and found that Obama was able to push more budget cuts through than Bush did. President Obama notched substantial successes in spending cuts last […]
Race and Speech Patterns
Harry Reid has come under fire for his statements about the benefits of President Obama’s speech patterns. The statement in question is that then-candidate Obama didn’t speak in “the negro dialect” unless he wanted to. I am a little torn on this issue. There is a dialect, one could call it an accent, that could […]
From The Delusion Files
Rod Blagojevich in an interview with Esquire: “It’s such a cynical business, and most of the people in the business are full of shit and phonies, but I was real, man — and am real. This guy, he was catapulted in on hope and change, what we hope the guy is. What the fuck? Everything […]
This Can’t Be Right
The Obama Administration asked for funds to buy a prison in Illinois to transfer Gitmo prisoners to: Rebuffed this month by skeptical lawmakers when it sought finances to buy a prison in rural Illinois, the Obama administration is struggling to come up with the money to replace the Guantánamo Bay prison.
