Checking the email this morning, I saw a new message from MoveOn.org asking for money. Being a high-school student, I normally don't check these things, but I soon realized it involved my district, CT-5.

MoveOn recently launched some attack ads harshly critisizing Nancy Johnson (R-Pharma) on her involvement in drafting and promoting the recent Medicare changes. Rep. Johnson replied by launching far harsher attack ads of her own, dragging out Murphy's 'connection' with an organization (MoveOn) that called Bush a Nazi. Obviously this was all trumped up, and Murphy replied that he wasn't involved with MoveOn in any way, though of course he never did say he disapproved of the ads.

Well apparantly MoveOn was using my district as a test bed, and was wildly sucessful. Read More

Can't we all just get along?

I agree with you Kos, and I agree with you, Georgia10 et al. Kos is right in that an absurdly large percentage of this board has become a single-issue constituency: Before any other fight, Ohio! On the other hand, I would classify myself as someone who is genuinely uncertain as to the validity, and still hold out hope that Kerry, in reality, won this election. I hold out hope that a Senator will come forward and debates will be held.

However, I do not hold out hope that the time being devoted to this issue on this site will produce any meaningful results, and I think that it's only fueling a bizarre flame war between two groups of people who disagree about something else entirely. Read More

Anybody want to get together at the UFPJ march?

The search tool here isn't all that great, but it doesn't appear that anybody has organized any Dkos group for the UFPJ march tomorrow. The planned meeting area pre-protest is very large (14-22nd St, 5-9th Ave.), and it might be a good idea to toss out a specific corner or something so that all us kossacks have somebody to meet there. I know that I'm the only person I know going, and it would be nice to have a group of friends to protest with. Has anybody talked about this?
