The most outrageous thing I saw at the Republican Convention was not the shielding of Sarah Palin, not the outrageous insults leveled at community workers, and not the sheer ridiculousness of the Republicans refusing to take responsibility for George W. Bush, but the subtle television commercials added into the biographical films of Cindy McCain and John McCain.

This is more of a comment than a diary, but I'm sure the title explains itself. Remember how the Clinton camp was on the verge of collapse before New Hampsire and all it took were a few tears and the playing of the gender card for Clinton to pull off the upset? Obama needs his crying moment today, tomorrow will be too late.

If I were a spin master for Obama this is what I would be saying today:

Hillary Clinton's victory last night was much needed to keep her campaign afloat, and the recent donation figures have proven that Pennsylvania was a good investment for her. Over the past few hours, her campaign has brought in millions of dollars, and no doubt her victory has caused some big smiles to the face of everyone she owes money, most of all Mark Penn.

Excuse the brevity of this post. Also excuse the lack of video links and all that fun stuff. The truth is that I have no idea how to do any of the cool stuff most good diarist can do. But, I noticed something last night during the debate that struck me as odd.

Recent debates in the Virginia Senate race has shown George Allen to be someone radical conservatives and neo-confederates cannot count own. Whether it was George Allen's open disdain for the rebel flag on Meet the Press, or his tirade yesterday supporting the idea of separation of church and state, George Allen has forgotten those values that helped him win elections for so long: theocratic dreams for America and investment in a time machine so that he could help the Confederacy gain a victory at Gettysburg. I applaud this recent change of opinion, but then again I am a proud liberal.

I just wonder how his recent change is going over in, as George Allen calls it, "Real Virginia". How are those people responding to recent comments like...

The 2006 Senate races are going to be tough. Races are tightening and the Republicans are planning a massive advertising campaign that will scare the bejesus out of the country. In light of such developments, I think it is time that we take a step back and re-evaluate Connecticut.

Personally, I don't care if Lamont or Lieberman win the CT Senate seat. I also think it is unnecessary for any of us to get involved at this point by directing our funding and attention on a Senate seat that will be won by either a Democrat or a sort-of Democrat. Lamont won the primary, let's declare victory and go elsewhere. Read More

I'm getting a bit sick of seeing diaries about 2008 candidates. If you ask me, they almost all suck. The exception is of course Russ Feingold, talk about at man with principles. But beside that, I want to remind everyone about the man that made all of this Democratic resurgence possible, Howard Dean. Read More

In another attack on public education, radical Christians have sought to ban books in Wake County, NC.

Today from the News & Observer

The reading issue came up in April when some parents and Called2Action, a local Christian activist group, complained to the school board about students being required to read three books -- "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker, "Beloved" by Toni Morrison and "The Chocolate War" by Robert Cormier.
The parents objected to what they called the "vulgar and sexually explicit language" in the books and said families should have been warned about them.

My name is Anthony DiMarzio and I am making a special appeal to people who live in Wake County, NC's 12-05 district.

I have been asked by the Wake County Democratic party to help organize the 12-05; and I was given a list of people who are said to be active and ready to help. I called them. Half of the numbers were disconnected and the other half wanted nothing to do with me. One guy went as so far as question how old I was (27) and tell me I was going to fail. Read More

I am looking for some help. I have written a speech that I may have to use at some point, but that info is classified. Anyway, I post quasi regularly here and my diaries have never been met with much success. I'm assuming it is because I am a pretty horrible writer. (As an aside, you can read some of my horrible writing by clicking here

But back to the subject. I need some peer editing and criticism, and there is no better place to have that done than the snooty zone knows as Daily Kos.

I appreciate any help. Read More

When most people think of the "War on Terror" images of 9/11 and Afghanistan become foremost in memory. For that, Bush still gets pretty high marks on how he is handling the war on terror. We often get so wrapped up in the disaster of Iraq and the incompetence of domestic handling that we forget about Afghanistan.

We need to remind America that in Afghanistan, all is not going as well as we would like to believe.
