I just saw an ad on TV that includes a complete falsehood about our oil reserves. This isn't just stretching the truth or a half-truth. This is a complete lie. A deliberate attempt to trick the people of Georgia into voting for this scumbag under false pretenses.

Pardon the melodramatic headline, but I've been crunching the numbers and that's the inescapable conclusion. She seems to have already abandoned all of the primaries between now and March 4th by campaigning in Texas instead of Wisconsin.

If you take a look at the pledged delegates already allocated, here's the current breakdown (From CNN):
Obama: 981
Clinton: 923
Unallocated / Other: 93 (26 John Edwards, 67 Unallocated; Most unallocated delegates are in CO and WA, so this might give Obama another +15 or +20 advantage over Clinton)

Follow me over the jump for projected allocations on the races through March 4th:

I've always known it in my gut that the main tenants of the Bible were very progressive. It shouldn't suprise any of you that despite the fact that 99% of the neocons claim to be Christian, their actions are actually very contrary to the Bible.

On the flipside, I'm going to compile a list of Bible versus that support progressive positions on a myriad of subjects. Maybe if someone in the press were to read these verses at the next Bush press conference, he might lose some support from his precious "religious right." Assuming they weren't all hypocritical, anyways.

Leviticus 19:33-34 (New International Version)
33 " 'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. 34 The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

Just something funny that I noticed today while I was reading news. I was looking at a story at MarketWatch and noticed-- "Hey, that logo looks exactly the same as the Club for Growth Logo!" Sure enough, their logos do bear a striking resemblance- notably, the green W with an arrow shooting off of the right side. Read More

A Twelve Point Plan for the New Democratic Party

Part Two: Taking back the Democratic Leadership.

Today, I'll take a look at each of the facets of the Democratic Party that we must seize control of well before the 2006 elections, so that we may be able to perform more effective and more powerful campaigns. I'll concentrate on the perception that the "Democratic Elite is clueless" and what we can do about it. Read More

A Twelve Point Plan for the New Democratic Party

Part One: Introduction and Outline

Today I was planning on spending the couple of hours that I had after work doing some number crunching in Ohio. Before I started, I was struck by the fruitlessness of it. While it is important to ensure that we have a fair vote (and I am almost positively sure that it wasn't fair), I don't think it will result in any kind of miraculous reversal of our fortunes. What we- the Democratic Party- really need right now is a plan for the future. We need to define the initial objectives so that we can mull them over in our minds during the holidays, and start to change things well in advance of the 2006 elections. So, here's the outline of my twelve points. I'll try to post the whole five-part series within the next week.

I'll do the following for Ohio soon.

I took the data from here and added in results to include 100% of the votes taken from the Florida Secretary of State's website, and then I added in independent registration and Party to Voter breakage as taken from exit polling.

The results are:

Kerry Expected: 3,789,873

Bush Expected: 3,765,520

Which, according to my calculations and break percentages, means that KERRY SHOULD HAVE WON FLORIDA BY 14,353 votes.

Much much more below the fold Read More

Bush looks like he's murdering there, creeping up on 52/48, but if you look at california, it's only 12% in. Kerry's popular vote numbers should start shooting up reasonably soon once CA starts to get counted (As well as WA).

For comparison, Texas is over 70%, so Bush's biggest pop vote count is already mostly factored in. Read More

...or percentage: 57.61%.

I averaged the results of 10 final national poll results, and according to this, Kerry needs undecideds to break towards him 57.61% in order to tie Bush in the popular vote. This essentially means that Kerry's got the popular vote locked up, since everyone's expecting a minimum of 2:1 breakage.

Here's a cool graph showing Kerry's margin of victory if undecideds break at certain percentages:

You heard it here first, guys- We're going to BOYCOTT PRALINES.

Why pralines?

Apparently, pralines and cream is Dubbya's favorite flavor of ice cream.

It is obvious that makers of pralines and cream ice cream are pandering to the religious right and need to be stopped.

Boycott all makers of pralines and cream ice cream right now! Read More

According to CNN:

Kerry's campaign also has outlined for Clinton other ways he can help rally voters and participate in the last two weeks of the presidential campaign, including visits to battleground states.

"There has been some discussion with the former president about things that will be great for him to do," said Kerry adviser Mike McCurry. "We're hoping that something will be able to come together."

The article mostly talks about an appearance in Penn. next week, but I think we need him mostly in three states: Arkansas, North Carolina and Virginia. Arkansas is obvious. Recent polling has shown the state to be fairly malleable, and within striking range of Clinton pushes hard. North Carolina and Virgina are closer, in my opinion, and Clinton's southern charm will do very well. Tennessee might be a good one to hit as well.

Clinton is a very potent solvent for the "Solid" South.

This is kind of a stop-gap measure to make sure we have discussion places for fact checking and rapid response.

I, unfortunatley have to go to bed, but the discussion will hopefully continue in the comments. Read More
