So for people that don't know, AP just published a story claiming Barrack's Aunt is here illegally from Kenya. And it includes this graf:

Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcement official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

Anyone believe they're clean? Didn't think so. The story.

"WASHINGTON Nov 3, 2004 -- The Bush administration announced Wednesday that it will run out of maneuvering room to manage the government's massive borrowing needs in two weeks, putting more pressure on Congress to raise the debt ceiling when it convenes for a special post-election session.

Treasury Department officials announced that they will be able to conduct a scheduled series of debt auctions next week to raise $51 billion. However, an auction of four-week Treasury bills due to be completed on Nov. 18 will have to be postponed unless Congress acts before then to raise the debt ceiling.

"Due to debt limit constraints, we currently do not have the capacity to settle our four-week bill auction scheduled to settle on Nov. 18," Timothy Bitsberger, acting assistant Treasury secretary for financial markets, said in a statement." Read More

Last night sucked. There's no denying it. While I think that there are signs of hope out there (and I'll touch on a few later, possible in a different diary), last night the America of our ideals, the America which embodies justice, honor, inclusivity, and compassion suffered a great loss. Today, many of us are physically, mentally, and spiritually depleted, and yet our work isn't over. In fact, the fight is even more important today then before, the work that each of us is doing in the trenches even more vital. That said, before leaping back into the fray,it's important that we take stock, resupply, and generally care for ourselves (many of us could at this point be classified as the walking wounded.) I frequently work with indviduals struggling with grief and loss issues, and I can tell that it's important to exhibit some self awareness and to use some good coping skills to help manage this crisis (and in the long run, taking care of ourselves now can help make us more effective in the future.)

This is hardly original, but I was just curious as to why people support their various candidates. I'm not looking for a "my candidate rocks, yours sucks" style debate, but if you need to distinguish how your candidate differs from the others, that's fine too.

Here's my entry to get the blog rolling...

I support Howard Dean for the same reason a lot of other people support someone else...electability. Dean's had the best run campaign so far, he's raised the most money, and he's mobolized impressive grass roots support...all things which the final nominee will need in spades to compete against Bush. Dean also seems willing to go after W. with a passion which was totally lacking from the Dem scene until the other candidates realized that he was onto a good thing.

Ultimately, I'm like many other people on this site...I'm willing to switch sides in a second if I believe that someone else can put up a better fight against Bush.
