The news about Feingold lately got me thinking. I didn't know much about him at all, so I thought I'd better inform myself. One of the tools I use frequently is Project Vote Smart (www.vote-smart.org) and similar sites to check voting records. Read More

Let's consider the matter carefully. While I agree with much of what's been written here and elsewhere, we should perhaps take another look at exactly what happened in Ohio.

First, I think this election was certainly good news for Dems everywhere, for many reasons. It shows that a strategy of fielding a strong candidate and investing in every race (not just the ones that are blue by 60% or more) can work.

Former President Jimmy Carter is not included in the official US delegation. This probably isn't news to anyone, but I'm curious what people think of the reasons given.

The Bush talking heads say they "reached out", but Carter turned them down. The Carter folks say that he asked to be included, but was told the delegation was full, and there was no room for him. Apparently, the Vatican limited the delegation to five people, and those attending are Clinton, Bush and Laura, former Bush and Neo-condi Rice.

There has been much discussion here about the power struggle currently taking place in the Democratic Party, and whether that struggle is about ideology or if it’s more anti-establishment in nature. Kos just made it clear that he thinks this is absolutely not about ideology. With all due respect, I just don't agree. Read More

And the battle is joined. Each wing of the party is ready for a slugfest that will determine who will the new DNC chairman, and how that person will help shape the direction of this party. Lots of names have been mentioned, some of them mostly unknown to people are aren't involved in the minutiae of party operations (read: us). So let's leave off those who aren't interested or won't win, and focus on a few of the others.

Now that I've had some time to reflect on our losses this week, I think I have a better understanding of what's happening in America. If you watch the news, you'll hear a lot of chatter about the moral election, a theory straight from Ralph Reed's talking points. The problem is, there's a grain of truth to this. Read More
