You are in the the 71st Child Diary of the Liveblog of the 2011 Egyptian Uprising and other uprisings spreading throughout the Mideast. We stand with our Egyptian friends and their courageous struggle for freedom.

DO NOT REC THIS DIARY! Rec the Mothership here.

(The idea is to keep the Mothership visible on the rec list, with links therein to the child diaries where we can discuss the events. This prevents multiple liveblog diaries taking up slots on the rec list.)

In the past few weeks we've been bombarded with the propaganda that the Dems will lose the House and we will have that scary creature Boehner as House Majority Leader.

Now we all know that we are being gamed to some degree by pollsters and the media but let's look at it from a different angle - one that Dems are used to using and that is from an under-dog position.

So follow me below for the game:

Being in the mortgage business, I had a thought yesterday that hopefully can be used to better sell the Public Option and that is to compare it to the VERY successful FHA program. You don't need to compare the U.S. Postal System to Fed Ex and UPS, etc. That is a rather lame comparison, IMHO.

Rather, FHA is the PERFECT comparison to the Public Option as it is a government insurance program that has competed with private mortgage insurance firms for decades. The private insurance companies (GE, Radian, MGIC and PMI, etc.) have been profitable insuring conventional loans competing against the FHA program.

Yesterday, I received an email from my sister in Minnesota detailing how she "donated" to the McCain campaign. I thought it made a lot of sense to do this type of donation and therefore wanted to share it with all of you. Keep in mind that if you decide to donate, it requires a little time and effort but I think you will agree with me that it could have the right type of effect on the Republican who opens the "donation" envelope.
