For some reason this hasn't been diaried or front-paged yet, but twenty-two thousand people rallied for Obama for America this afternoon.

Obama-mania is still sweeping the nation.

NH-01 Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter had a nice and effective little exchange through the press with the chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party (courtesy of the Concord Monitor):

Last week, Cullen criticized Shea-Porter's recent speech on the House floor, saying it undermined U.S. troops. Shea-Porter called on Cullen to retract his statement.

Yesterday, Cullen declined to do so. "If she's going to be against this war, she should have the courage of her convictions and vote to end funding," Cullen said.

He described last week's House debate on a resolution expressing congressional disapproval of President Bush's troop surge in Iraq as "shameful."

Shea-Porter hit back: "If Fergus Cullen has the courage of his convictions, he should go enlist, because they're having trouble meeting their quota. He's young, he's single and he's healthy. If he needs to know where the recruiters are, call me."

That's so awesome that all one can do is cyber-nod in agreement.

If you haven't already, you'll soon be reading about this New York Times article (also covered by the AP's Nedra Pickler):

Edwards’s Bloggers Cross the Line, Critic Says

Two bloggers hired by John Edwards to reach out to liberals in the online world have landed his presidential campaign in hot water for doing what bloggers do — expressing their opinions in provocative and often crude language.

The Catholic League, a conservative religious group, is demanding that Mr. Edwards dismiss the two, Amanda Marcotte of the Pandagon blog site and Melissa McEwan, who writes on her blog, Shakespeare’s Sister, for expressing anti-Catholic opinions.

Mr. Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, is among the leading Democratic presidential candidates.

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, said in a statement on Tuesday, "John Edwards is a decent man who has had his campaign tarnished by two anti-Catholic vulgar trash-talking bigots."

This is going to be a watershed moment for John Edwards's campaign.

The Concord (NH) Monitor released results of a Research 2000 poll it commissioned today. The essentials: Hillary Clinton has a razor-thin 22%-21% lead over Barack Obama (what's known as a statistical tie), with John Edwards at in a competitive third place at 16%.

FWIW, on the GOP Side, something similar has happened with Rudy Giuliani slightly leading John McCain, 26%-25%, with Mitt Romney in third at 10%.

I'm going to state up front that I don't have a preference in the Jim Webb-Harris Miller primary. And I think highly of Mark Warner ('08 is a separate issue).

What I want to know is: why are Webb and Warner being soft on George Allen's confederate-sympathizing? Why is Miller the only one pointing that George Allen has race "issues?" Read More

From the AP:

California lawmakers are considering a plan that could put the state in a race with New Hampshire to have the earliest presidential primary.
The bill would require California's secretary of state to schedule the election as early as Jan. 2 in presidential election years and conduct it by mail.

If you've been following the debate and internal DNC procedural transactions over the 2008 Presidential Primary Calendar, you would have to recognize that this has the potential fundamentally to be a game-changer. Read More
