To the Honorable Howard B. Dean III, Chair of the Democratic National Committee:

Edmund Burke reportedly stated that, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Evil is afoot today in the state of Florida, the Congress, and the White House, and is on full display in the Terry Schiavo case. Read More

Because why not have a little fun with your existential angst?

Democrats only this round. The Republicans are a whole different kettle of fish, and I won't try to predict their maneuverings.

(I'm getting grief about the 300-character limit, but this is the only logical place to separate the diary. Is there a way to reprogram the filter not to ignore material below the break?) Read More

Because I hadn't seen this on any diaries:

Democracy for America has announced a contest to determine who will get a blast from that lean, mean, Dean fundraising machine. Two winning Democratic candidates- one incumbent and one challenger- will receive a national email appeal for funds and assistance from Howard himself.

Such an appeal raised over $160,000 for an appropriately grateful Tom Daschle on September 8-9 (despite argument about whether Daschle was a worthy target). Could that make the diference in a close race- even for Senate control? Read More

Tracking Poll Here "Saturday September 04, 2004--For the third straight day, the Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 49% of the vote and Senator John Kerry with 45%. The Tracking Poll is updated daily by noon Eastern.

Before today, neither candidate had held a four-point lead for three consecutive days since Kerry wrapped up the nomination on Super Tuesday. The Tracking Poll is reported on a three-day rolling average basis, so a lead that lasts longer than three days becomes especially significant. Only one-third of the interviews for today's report were completed after the President's speech on Thursday night."

Rasmussen now provides tenths of a point for the first time- Shrub 49.1, Kerry 44.7- confirming that Bush's bounce (as measured by Rasmussen) was a whopping single point, as he was up 48-45 on Monday.

PATAKI: DEAN'S AN EMBARRASSMENT [08/02 06:11 PM]

New York Gov. George Pataki is not known as a fire-breathing conservative. So when he brings out the rhetorical big guns, it's a signal that it's safe for the GOP moderates to lock and load. From his CNN appearance:

PATAKI: "Judy, I think Howard Dean is an embarrassment. I mean, he almost makes Michael Moore look objective in how he analyzes these situations, and the American people got to know him during the campaign and rejected him. The sad part is that his policies and his warped beliefs are having a significant impact on Senator Kerry's policies. Senator Kerry talked about being tough in the war on terror, but he essentially adopted the Dean line when he had to do it to get through at the Democratic primaries."

I'll bet that this is not the last we see of Howard Dean's statement.

The DCCC final results are in! Of the five winners, three Deaniacs and two Clark supporters won the golden tickets.

Final totals (from their Majority Makers pages, Deaniacs in bold, Clarkies in italics):

Maura Keaney: $5872.02

Sue Randall: $5830.44

Joshua Aronovitch: $5189.57

Ken Fornataro: $5060.20

Carl Frisch: $4901.18

Also note:
Adam Feiler: $4900.95

So Carl with a k won the 5th set of tickets by 23 cents. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Cool! I always wanted to be a vengeful ghost!
