Treasury’s point-man on the financial bailout, Neel Kashkari, was harshly and universally attacked in hearings on Capitol Hill today. Unfortunately, they got the wrong guy.

There are clearly people in the Administration to criticize, and I suppose it comes with the territory. But what Kashkari is working on, and by all accounts, working late into the night to do, is actually a remarkably competent and cohesive plan—particularly coming from this group of chronic underachievers.

In fact, the incoming Obama Administration would be well served to carry out, and expand, Kashkari’s efforts.

At the Boulder, Colorado field office for Barack, where I volunteer regularly, there's this guy. You should meet him, like Barack did. This is a really beautiful video that my friend from the office just sent me.

I just got a nice mailer from my good friend John McCain. Wanna see? Click here. And look at this. He was kind enough to put on it a big picture of a scowling, artificially darkened Barack Obama. Next to the picture is a quote from the Washington Post, which apparently wrote, on August 12, 2007, that "Obama ‘looks just like another liberal...’".

Come again?

Today, I went to see Michelle Obama speak at CU in Boulder. It was a long line, and in that line, I got to talking with lots of fellow progressives. The topic turned to this bailout quickly, and I was surprised to learn from them that they seriously thought there is no bailout necessary. I think a lot of people do not understand the trouble we’re in, and don’t get the proposed solutions. It’s a complex subject, but we must understand the problem if we are going to have any hope of fixing it.

I have been canvassing for Barack, in Boulder, a college town in the swing state of Colorado. This location makes us, and our efforts here, absolutely essential to the race. As you know, Colorado is a key swing state. Most of the state is Red, and the progressives in the Boulder-Denver corridor are the key to pulling it over to Democratic side.

But college students I have spoken to are exactly the same as I was ten years ago (and sometimes the way I am now!). They procrastinate. The good news is that it's okay, and there's an antidote...

Here’s a dumb question. Why would "Clinton campaign officials" be telling the New York Times about an enemies list? To sabotage the VP vetting, of course.

If Hillary is not the VP nominee within the next 24 hours, she won't be.

Obama strategists will now be asked to bury their grievances and put Clinton on the ticket. They will be told it's the smart thing to do. It's not, and here's why.
