I'm pissed off. I'm so pissed off I could scream. I'm furious with the Republicans, with the media, and with bailed out bank executives. I want to punch the Big 3 execs. I want to set Sean Hannity's hair on fire. I want to tear my own hair out when I hear Erin Burnett defend 18 billion dollars in bonuses to stupid, idiotic executives who couldn't turn a profit if a kid in diapers gave them a billion bucks for free. I am pissed off at every goddamn House GOoPer who voted against the recovery package just to spite us and screw with a country they don't give a crap about. I am SO PISSED OFF by hearing anyone repeat anything that goddamn Rush Limbaugh has to say - FYI, I DON'T CARE!!! But most of all, I am pissed off at my party, my fellow Democrats, and my new President, for whom I have the utmost admiration.

(cross-posted at the Georgetown Progressive)

In 1992, pundits, scholars, and politicians alike exclaimed "The Year of the Woman." That year, four Democratic women running for Senate won their races, tripling the number of women in the Senate. Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Carol Moseley-Braun, and Patty Murray made a big leap for women, who represent more than half the voters in the US, but had only two female US Senators in 1991. 16 years later, there are 17 women in the Senate, including 13 Democrats. But with 58 Democrats in the Senate, it is absurd that President-Elect Obama's party only has women representing 22% of its caucus. It's time that we in the netroots make an enormous effort to make 2010 the New Year of the Woman.

Begich's lead has now expanded to 3,724 votes. This one is done, put a fork in it.

This certainly helps make up for the Lieberman capitulation earlier.

Congrats guys! On to 60!

Here's a look at the next US Senator from Alaska, Mark Begich.

Let's help get to 60 by contributing to Jim Martin and kick out Saxby!

UPDATE: AP calls it!

This despicable ad by the desperate campaign of THE MOST EXTREME REPUBLICAN in the Northeast, Scott Garrett, has to be the most absurd thing I have seen from a Republican this cycle.

I can't believe Garrett has the chutzpah to call Dennis "Too Extreme for New Jersey". Look in the mirror, Scottie!

View the ad for yourself, and then send Dennis Shulman some immediate love so he can fight back, end the war, and fight for progressive values in Congress! Dennis has been a friend of ours to the end, let's get his back!

I'm a Jewish-American. But the American is the part I emphasize, because while I am proud of my heritage, my country comes first, not my ethnicity.

The American-Israel Public Affairs Committee is a very powerful lobby on Capitol Hill and throughout the years, they have effectively advocated on Israel's behalf, and have done a magnificent job in making sure that Israel is a secure, safe, and free state.

Republicans continue to beat us in the field. Even though our financial resources in 2006 reached parity with the Republicans, and we had much more enthusiasm on our side, they were clearly ready. Chris Shays and Heather Wilson and Steve Chabot and Deborah Pryce were incumbents that held on because they ran a tried and true effort to turn out their voters. We have serious problems in the way we run Democratic field operations. I've laid out ways we can improve upon them below.

Democrats did an amazing job this year. We took back the majority in both houses of Congress, a majority of our nation's governors, a majority of state legislatures, and a majority of state legislators for the first time in twelve years. It was a massive victory and we have a lot for which to be proud. Read More

Even if we win the Senate on November 7th, it's lost to us. 51 Democratic seats in the United States Senate, even 52 seats, will get about as much legislation enacted into law as having zero United States Senators. So why are we wasting our money on the Senate? Let's pull out of the Senate races and focus on the House. Read More

cross-posted at Retire Garrett

Radical Republican Ernie Scott Garrett has taken an unusual step; he's paid one of his Capitol Hill interns. Michael J. Inganamort, III was a rising senior at American University in Washington, D.C. when he received a congressional internship on Capitol Hill during the summer of 2005.

Unlike most internships, this one was paid. It was paid to the tune of $2,201.38 over a seven week period. In fact, as anyone who's ever interned in a congressional office knows, paid internships in a Capitol Hill office are almost unheard of, and almost never go to someone who is not a graduate or law student, let alone a college student.

The GOP has learned their lesson. Run on facts, and lose. Run on reason, and lose. Run on logic, and lose. Run on the truth, and lose. But run on fear, and win big. Run on scare-tactics, and win bigger. Run on making Democrats look like a greater threat to America than Al-Qaeda, and win huge. Read More
