First off, I realize this breaks the diary rules. Just thought it was very funny and should be shared...

Just heard the news. Apparently he was the one who actually told his staff he was busted. Cancelled all appointments today. Wow... just wow. Guys like he and Newsome really dissapoint me. Yes, he is innocent until proven guilty, but if he is coming out and saying things it seems pretty clear he is already trying to mitigate things. .

Here are my thoughts on Iraq and how Obama should frame the debate, for what it's worth:

Obama has continuously called Clinton out on her vote in favor of the war (and to be clear, that is what the vote was for). In their one on one debate he scored big points by taking it at her for this vote. However, he should go much further. And here is why -

Or did anyone else watching the Repbulican debate stop and pinch themselves really hard when the subject of guns came up and was then followed directly by a questoin on stopping inner city crime?

I am having trouble understanding why Edwards is getting so much traction on kos. He seems to be considered by many to be the "anti-Iraq" candidate. It simply can't be overlooked that he made a huge "Iraq" like error on Iraq.

While the violence in Iraq reaches a critical mass, similar atrocities are going more or less unnoticed Sudan. The Financial Times reports that "between 100,000 and 400,000 people have died there through famine and slaughter and 2.5m more have fled their homes since 2003." At the White House last week President Bush and Prime Minister Blair discussed Sudan policy. Both seemed at least interested in doing something, tossing around options including sanctions, pushing a no-fly zone over Darfur, backing a strong UN force on the ground, and even air strikes and a naval blockade. However, Bush has dedicated most of his foreign policy work to Iraq, with only a brief mention of Sudan and no concrete actions to back it up.

Word is coming out the John Kerry is now supporting Feingold's censure resolution. Earlier today I predicted (to no one in particular) that Kerry would soon join. This is the Kerry that people are coming to like, going with his gut feelings, not waiting to see which way the wind blows. It looks like Kerry is "pulling a Gore," learning from his mistakes and now speaking his mind. The filibuster (albeit from Davos) was another great move. SO- who do you think will be next? Obama? Schumer? (doubtful)... Reid? (again doubtful), Clinton? Baye? And when do you think someone the next Senator, or couple of Senators will come out in favor of it??

Saw this on an AP story and had to laugh. Imagine CNN running that title and the reaction of the Bush administration.

Homeland Security Objects to Port Deal

....congressional support only if the same restrictions applied to all U.S. port operators. The company earlier had struck a more conciliatory stance, saying it would do whatever Bush asked to salvage the agreement.
"Security is everybody's business," senior vice president Michael Moore told The Associated Press. "We're going to have a very open mind to legitimate concerns. But anything we can do, any way to improve security, should apply to everybody equally."

Francis Fukuyama has an interesting (and long) article in the NY Times today. It critiques the NeoCons and how they have failed in Iraq and their foreign policy in general. I thought Fukuyama was for the Iraq War but is now apparently against it. Worth reading:

http://www.nytimes.com/...

After NeoConservatism: As we approach the third anniversary of the onset of the Iraq war, it seems very unlikely that history will judge either the intervention itself or the ideas animating it kindly. By invading Iraq, the Bush administration created a self-fulfilling prophecy: Iraq has now replaced Afghanistan as a magnet, a training ground and an operational base for jihadist terrorists, with plenty of American targets to shoot at. The United States still has a chance of creating a Shiite-dominated democratic Iraq, but the new government will be very weak for years to come; the resulting power vacuum will invite outside influence from all of Iraq's neighbors, including Iran.

Not sure if this has already been suggested or is already being done but here goes:
Kos should interview candidates and/or people currently holding office (I'm thinking along the lines of Busby, Lamont, Tester,etc.) and put video feeds on the site as diaries. That way people across the country could get to know a cantidate much better (and possibly be more inclined to donate money). It would also be great to hear them answer the questions people here would want answered.
Accessing the candidates should be no problem. Kos has now proved through sheer numbers and amount of dollars raised that this site can have an impact (possibly a huge one) on a race and can really boost a cantidate.
It would be a win-win situation and would bring Kos and the chosen interviewees even more bloggers and attention.
