“Freedom of speech is one of our country’s most cherished values. Nothing sets us further apart than the countries and regimes we oppose than our belief that everyone’s opinion matters, and everyone has the right to express it. That is why, when we hear things on the radio that are offensive, by and large, we tolerate them.

But last week, Rush Limbaugh went way over the line – and while we respect his right to say anything he likes, his unpatriotic comments cannot be ignored.

I'm sorry Senator, but your dead wrong -- we cannot spend a single minute of time more on useless letters or legislation about what conservative talk show hosts or what 527s put in newspapers.

I disagree Kos, It is not time to score 'cheap political points' -- what it is time for is action and purposeful legislation.

Hi everybody,

This is a request for a tiny bit of help for writing a short 350 word letter to the editor.

My college, Marist College, is farirly heavily republican leaning politically and is the college newspaper.

The article in the paper was written election night before several races were called and it clearly predicting the future.

I'll drop some quotes from an article that appeared in today's edition and hopefully someone witty can come up with a successful response. Read More

Us Kossacks been asking the DCCC to expand the playing field -- and finally it seems that they they finally did just that!

The DCCC's blog, The Stakeholder, reports that FOUR races in NY have become competitive enough for the DCCC to list them as the newest additions to the 'Red2Blue' list.

The NY-03, NY-19, NY-26, and NY-29 have been made into the new 'Red2Blue' races.

This is hot off the presses:

Majority Watch (RT Strategies and Constituent Dynamics) released several new polls today.
The New York Polls were from the NY-19, NY-20, NY-25 and NY-29.

The races in the NY-19, NY-25 and NY-29 hadn't previously been polled but were thought to be very completitive.

The poll that shocked me was from my own backyard, the NY-19.

Still, these new polls show that not only are races all over new york competitive but are all leaning to Dem!

John Hall (D) leads 12 year rubber stamping incumbent Sue Kelly (R) 49% to 40%!
In the NY-20 Gillibrand (D) leads Sweeney (R) 54% to 41%.
In the NY-25 Maffei (D) leads Walsh (R) 51% to 43%.
In the NY-29 Massa (D) leads Kuhl (R) 52% to 40%.

Ms. Kelly, incumbent represenative of the NY-19 isn't having a very good week (and its only tuesday!).

John Hall is running an effective campaign.
FoleyGate is has started to focus on her non-action.
CQ upgraded the race's standings.

And now we learn its starting to take a toll of Ms. Kelly -- shes starting to get angry.

As a candidate who wants to portay herself as the 'nice grandmother' -- getting angry at local press members when they ask you questions very relavant to your campaign is not the way to go.

Sue Kelly (NY-19) announced that the 15,000 strong Hudson Valley Building & Construction Trades Council endorses her campaign for re-election.
Press Release here

This is at odds with Democractic candidate John Hall's many Union endorsements: Hall recieves support from AFL-CIO, NYSUT, 1199 SEIU, CWA District 1 as well as several others.

Very strange -- until start digging which is where we learn the truth about her 'new' union support that is.

John Hall, the democractic candidate for the NY-19 th, challanged incumbent Congresswomen Sue Kelly on Sept. 18th to five debates (one for each county the district represents). This has not been refuted.

Sue Kelly's campaign has remained silent about these debates. Several other organizations want Sue Kelly and have requested her presence. But something is happening -- the local press is reporting the story and might be getting Ms. Kelly to cave. One press source now says Ms. Kelly HAS accepted the five debate challange!
