Here's Romney at the RNC mocking Obama for his concern about the rising of the oceans.

The next time that idiot is right about something, it will be the first time.

(Sorry the diary is so short. I wrote a longer post exploring Romney's smug idiocy, but his video says it all. He is, quite simply, God's own fool.)

Hey folks, let's open the betting window for when our Farce Advocate in the White House steps to the microphone and announces that the Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthy will be permanent.

I'm setting the over/under at 12 days from today, that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

I've had it with "centrists" Democrats who are oblivious to how ridiculous they are. McCaskill is "proud" of the fact that they cut %100B out of the Stimulus package. Among her cuts were $75 million to the Smithsonian.

How is McCaskill going to blow off steam after a hard week? With a visit to the newly renovated SMITHSONIAN.

Going to Museum of Am History today.Haven't been since it re-opened.Want to check it out.Also grocery store and later a movie date with Joe.

When I was in college (Go Vandy!) I majored in English. At the time I just a college-aged kid who loved reading.

In the 18 years since I graduated I've experienced and learned a great deal about my fellow humans and myself. I've gotten married and had three beautiful daughters, but I've also witnessed my friend's marriages collapse due to the dumbest of human actions like lust (both considered and drunken), the most tragic (simply growing apart) and the worst which was outright betrayal because someone wanted to re-marry rich.

I've seen - in myself and others - much of the best and worst of human traits greed, generosity, ambition, doubt, despair, joy, etc. And through the years my appreciation for how great literature (and art) truly reveals the essence of humanity has deepened my appreciation of the great writers and artists.

and they are voting Obama.

I don't know if this has been blogged yet, but The Economist is running an online poll inviting its global audience of liberal socialists to choose between Obama and McCain.

Economist Global Electoral College

So far the vote is Obama with 7,991 global electoral votes to McCain with 12. That's not a typo.

O: 7,991
M: 12

The only country McCain wins is El Salvador.

The right response to Sarah Palin is NOT to say she is inexperienced. That is simply falling into the trap. Rather, the Obama campaign should turn the argument around and make a big effort to point out that her accomplishments are incredibly impressive, and if she is elected you can be sure that she will impose her extremely conservative views on America.

The Obama camp should point out that this mother of 4 successfully ran for Governor while pregnant with her 5th child, and that anyone capable of this must be extremely smart, skilled, and determined to impose her vision on the country. Given her tremendous level of skill, Americans need to seriously consider Palin’s vision and decide if they want to take America in her direction, a direction that WILL include banning abortion in all cases – including rape and incest – except to protect the life of the Mother, teaching creationism in schools, and continuing all of Bush’s most socially conservative beliefs.

This argument does multiple things for Obama:

Don't underestimate this pick. Keep in mind that the VAST majority of voters aren't on this site. They aren't reading the papers to understand the qualifications of the candidates or their positions.

They truth is that most people vote with their hearts. And, not to stereotype unfairly, but a lot of those people who vote with their hearts are "independent" white women. They are women who didn't go to Princeton and Harvard like Michelle. They are women who are very capable and competent but, for whatever reason, have jobs that some would describe as lower level.

As a Washington State resident, and committed progressive, I have a very mixed bag of feelings about Patty Murray. But after today's comment I'm starting to sort them out a bit more.

This is the press release Eileen Macoll endorses Hillary

Senator Patty Murray welcomed Macoll’s endorsement today. "Eileen has been a tireless advocate for the Washington State party, and I look forward to working with her to spread Hillary’s message of change in the weeks ahead."

How is it possible for someone to stand in front of hundreds of people and make claims that are demonstrably false and/or misleading?

Take this quote from the Times.

Mrs. Clinton’s version went like this: "They came for the steel companies and nobody said anything," she intoned. "They came for the auto companies and nobody said anything. They came for the office companies, people who did white-collar service jobs, and no one said anything. And they came for the professional jobs that could be outsourced and nobody said anything. So this is not just about steel," she finished.

The survey about Clinton supporters not voting for Obama, and vice versa, is GREAT news. I actually like the fact that we Democrats have such deeply held beliefs that we are deciding to hold our ground. No one will ever again accuse us of not having spines.

My only request is that we all agree to start acting like adults and stop pouting because other people don't agree with us.

"From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee." - Moby Dick (and of course, Wrath of Khan)

The moment that Bill Clinton refused to resign for having sex with an intern in the Oval Office it was clear that the Clintons valued neither the Country nor the Democratic Party.

Jimmyjames has a very well written, well reasoned diary that discusses the "electability" argument. I complete agree with his conclusion, but I want to take on the logic of one sentence in particular because I hear it a lot amongst Democrats and the NetRoots:

"If I'm honest with myself, I know that I will vote for any yellow dog that is on the ticket. The stakes are too high to stand on principle."

Here is my question, if the stakes are so high how can we NOT stand on principle?
