We've passed 10,000 contributions to the Netroots Candidates! In fact, we're a few away from 10,100. Nice.

We can talk as much as we want about this fall's elections- who's ahead, who's behind, how close we are to regaining a majority in one house of Congress or both. But discussion is one thing- action is another.

What have you been doing for your favorite candidates? Have you contributed money? Time? Your house for a house party? Have you loaded your car with bumper stickers? Cluttered your lawn with lawn signs? Attended a rally? Read More

It was just by chance that I was sitting in my room listening (in the distance) to the MTV's 2006 Video Music Awards......

The announcer just announced Queen Latifah onto the stage. I glanced over, just to see what she was going to be announcing. But then she started talking about how it has taken 10,000 generations for the global population to reach only 2 billion and now in just one lifetime it has sky rocketed to 9 billion. She starting talking about saving our future and how we are messing with mother nature. (Thought bubble: "... random. Where is this going?") Before I knew it, they were annoucing the "Special Guest"; Former Vice President of the United States of America, Al Gore! I rushed over to watch to see what this truly surprising appearance was all about.

The video is now up at MTV. Go here, click on "2006 Video Music Awards on Demand" and scroll down to "Queen Latifah, Al Gore's Message". If you can't find it, here's a transcript below. Read More

I posted a diary on this last night, but due to a misquote on my part and a misunderstanding of what I saw last night on MSNBC led me to delete the diary (shortly after zipping up the recommended list). While I did make a blunder in the quote I posted and what Scarborough's comments were about; the idea behind what was said last night is the same.

Essentially, through Joe Scarborough's stories of his father, he is saying that Bush is in the same boat as Nixon; his father gave up his support for Nixon the DAY BEFORE he resigned. And now he has given up on Bush as well.

Read Scarborough's latest blog on MSNBC from yesterday, Losing Patience with Bush. Read More

I was watching the latest episode of "Lost" when the phone rang. It was someone representing Lyndon LaRouche, who I had honestly never heard of (I'm young, so I may be out of the loop on this guy...), out of Chicago. Thoughts raced through my mind: How did they know my home phone number, which I NEVER give out? How did they know my name, and town of residence, which I rarely give out? It seemed strange to me.

... I didn't really talk much though. The other guy did all the talking. Read More

I wasn't able to attend the rally in D.C. today, but when I had time I was flipping through the news stations trying to find out anything I could about it.... and nothing. Well, nothing but a very short mention on the bottom news scroll of MSNBC about the protest; but only mentioning it was happening. Now how big, no information other than it was happening.

So tonight I decided to surf the major news websites to see who was reporting what.

Here's what I could find.... Read More

In both 2000 and 2004, the Presidential elections were ultimately decided by the swing states; Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Colorado, New Hampshire, and New Mexico.

But as we approach the 2006 Senate elections and the 2008 Presidential elections; will the swings state shift dramatically? Will "swing states" once controlled by one part switch over to a solid blue, or solid red?

My ideas below. Read More

Cindy Sheehan was seen live tonight on CN8 in New England (and possible elsewhere). She seemed unphased from earlier today when she was ushered away from a peaceful protest by NYC police.

Here's a link to the full story on what happened earlier today in NYC.

A while ago, I began compiling and "analyzing" data from polls taken since Katrina, data which unfortunately disappears from the site after about a week. My first diary using this poll data looked at the first week, and the second examined the changes from the second week. Now, with some new data, I'll be taking a look at the changes (if any) and what they mean.

(I'm basing this assessment on "breaking news" polls from Survey USA. Their polling methodology can be seen here.) Read More

Six days ago, I began compiling data from SurveyUSA's polling on Hurricane Katrina, which unfortunately disappears from the site after about a week. With only about six days of data, it wasn't clear if the BushCo spin/damage control was working (it had just begun at this point), but it didn't appear to be the case. The numbers were steady and they weren't good. Now, six days later, let's take another look.

A lot of us thought this would be the final nail in BushCo's coffin; until the backlash began to subside and the spin machine kicked into high gear. Damage control was, and remains, in full effect.

But no matter what you hear, no matter how bad it looks for us, or how much the public seems to be buying into it... just remember this: It's just what they want you to think. The Repubilcans and BushCo are in trouble and they know it. Read More
