With the usual apologies if this has been diaired before (can't check Kos more than once or twice a day), here's yet another poll with yet another state, this one in the South, where Edwards is the most electable.

In fact, Edwards beats all the Repubs, who each beat both Clinton and Obama. I know this is Edwards' home state, but if he can legitimately keep North friggin' Carolina in play, he can't lose. He really can't.

Big night tonight, as the Des Moines Register releases their endorsement (at least in the Dem primary ... not sure about Reps) for publication tomorrow. Traditionally at least, it's been a major boost. Edwards took it and ran in 2004, almost making it all the way to the nomination (if he had won Iowa, he would have taken it all).

Who's it gonna be? Let's see how good Kossacks are at crystal balling.

I'm for Edwards in real life, but I'm thinking the endorsement's going to either Obama or someone from the third tier, probably Biden.

Thisis huge folks. Scott McInnis was a formidable (perhaps the ONLY formidable) opponent for Mark Udall. The Goopers are now left with a whole bunch of really bad options: Bob Schaffer, an evangelical conservative who is not a proven vote-getter at all; John Suthers, our relatively popular Attorney General who is not well known at all; and a whole bunch of wingnuts including some talk show hosts. If this holds up (and McInnis is crazy enough to pull some crap like changing his mind) I'm officially changing my prediction and putting this one in the "likely D" category. Wow.

Hezbollah Used U.N. as Shielf

Interesting article this morning in the actually free press north of the border. There are two sides to every story. Turns out that Hezbollah was (cynically, cruelly) using the under-armed U.N. post as a human shield, daring the IDF to hit it, which (apparently) they finally did. Wonder if the Israel haters in Europe and at the U.N. (not to mention Huffington Post) will mention it. Link here.

OK, so it's over. Rather than either a) stew in our own juices for a while, or b) get mad or self-righteous, or c) blame someone else, such as Ciro Rodriguez or Republican cross-over voters, let's sit down and calmly try and learn from this, and get better.

Now this is starting to worry me. I had heard Howard Dean was having a rough time figuring out how to shake the Democratic money trees, but to have less than $10 million in the bank 12 months out of perhaps our best chance to retake Washington this decade ... something's gotta change.

Where are all you Deaniacs now? Is he really the right man for the job? If this article is to be believed, it sounds like he's having trouble with the basics of the basics: Just asking for dough. Guess he can't just turn the spigot on like he did in '03.

I'm not needling here. I'm genuinely worried. We can have all the advantages in the World, but if we're broke, we can't compete on GOTV or on air. Someone tell me this is going to get better!

McCaskill's in ... according to Hotline

24 MISSOURI: Finally, Some Claire Plans

Multiple Hotline sources are confirming '04 GOV nominee/Aud. Claire McCaskill (D) will enter the race 8/30 (8/29).
St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Mannies writes: "sentiment is divided. The view is that she is either: Preparing to emulate" Sen. Jim Talent (R), who won a SEN '02 race after losing for GOV '00. Or she's: "About to commit political suicide by abandoning a seemingly secure re-election bid to listen to" Dem leaders who say she has to run "or doom the party's statewide ticket."

and comes out being used like a cheap date.

Check out this latest piece of wisdom from Mr. Used-to-be-pretty-good-on-foreign-affairs, who now seems to think he's an expert on everything.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/12/opinion/12kristof.html?hp

Note particularly that even as he screams about the "Death of Environmentalism," he can't find an example to talk about that's more recent than 1975. Note, too, how he uses our opponents' language almost perfectly, doing their job for them.

When will "our" (and I use that term loosely) side ever learn?

Here's his email, by the way. Fire away:

I've resisted posting since Tuesday night, partly because Colorado was one of the bright spots and therefore I'm not totally devastated. And partly because I know from bitter experience that the period immediately following a disappointing loss can lead to bad decisions that have impacts on elections in the future. But having read a bit if the Kossack response to Tuesday's results, I have to chime in.

The 2004 presidential election was very close, as we thought it would be. The Senate elections were mostly held in Republican states and therefore they were longshots. We KNEW both of these things, although sometimes we didn't admit them. And here's one thing that can happen under these circumstances ...

... you can lose.
