A story in today's Philadelphia Inquirer looks at New Jersey Democrats who "received donations from Indian tribes that hired" Abramoff and "don't intend to return it."  Essentially, this is an attempt to implicate anybody who's ever worked on Indian affairs (and many of the most dedicated are Dems), and thus been supported by them, in the Abramoff scandal, even if they've never received monies from JA directly or had any work-around donations directed by him from tribes. For example:Watch for it.  This looks to me like an effort to stay "fair and balanced" in the coverage, but is really a way to forward the GOP's line that "Democrats are dirty too" by careless linkage.  We need to be ready to counter this subtler kind of crap too.

Turnout has been incredible in the city -- we had something like 65-75% turnout in our division (error due to uncertainty about the currency of the list, not the turnout), and ACT people walking a circuit said the numbers were similar at all the polling places -- looks like a new record!

Additionally, I got the actual numbers for Kerry (in ward 5:5) = 526 Kerry versus 107 Bush -- a five-fold victory!!!!!  Hoeffel also running strong against Specter, but not quite the full coattails . . .

Good news from the ground! :)
