Most people who attend big KC and WA Democratic meetings know me as one of those people who is always bringing up annoying, inconvenient issues. But I think I have good reason to bring those issues up. Sometimes, these issues are ones that other people have expressed to me, and I decide to be the one to stand up and get those issues noticed. It's not usually a fun experience, the audience is usually audibly annoyed, and I don't always get the issues addressed. But it's what I do, because I feel it needs doing.

To say that this past weekend's King County Democrats Reorganization meeting was no exception, would be an understatement. It may even be the red-letter example. Here's why.

Republican Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna, widely rumored to be planning a run for governor in 2012, has joined a multi-state lawsuit with Florida, Virginia, South Carolina, and other states opposing the insurance purchase mandate of the health insurance reform law. This is in contrast to Washington politics, which is reliably Democratic. Washington state leaders all the way up to and including Governor Christine Gregoire have come out against McKenna's unilateral move to join the legal challenge against health insurance reform.

Making the buzz at Obama's town hall in New Hampshire today was Diane Campbell, owner of a Dunkin' Donuts franchise in Kingston, NH. She held up two signs, one with a cross and one with a peace symbol, both featuring a Nazi propaganda poster with Hitler replaced by Obama, the word "Socialism" and the slogan "Hey America you want change? Hitler did to !!" [sic -- although another "o" is scribbled in. Kids, let this be a lesson: Good spelling is not required in the business world.]

While the mantra before the Feb. 9 caucus was "the primary doesn't count", that doesn't mean you shouldn't vote in it. It still may count for something.

The Democratic Party has railed for seven years against a system where the winner of the popular vote did not actually become president. Yet in its own system, the winner of the popular vote is currently behind.

With major defections in his campaign staff, John McCain's promising '08 presidential bid looks like toast. Some who saw him as a moderate may be sad. I'm not.

The nation's flagship military hospital is in shambles. The rest of the military veteran medical field turns out to be, appropriately enough, no better. Who to blame? Why not try twelve years of Republican purse string holding?

Kerry misspoke and told a group of students that if they don't work hard and go to college, they'll be stuck in Iraq. While a misdelivery, figures on military education levels seem to indicate the same. Read More
