That's right, only one vote is needed to insure that the healthcare reform bill includes a public option.

President Barack Obama's.

Try these words on for size Mr. President. "If Congress sends me a bill without a strong public option, I will veto it." And he needs to voice those words strongly every time he steps up to a microphone. It needs to be the talk of every media outlet in the country.

Just the threat of a veto is a powerful thing. Remember how effectively Bush used it? Senators and Congressmen who are on the fence would likely fall quickly in line if the President insisted on a public option. If healthcare is as important to him as he claims, the President should not be afraid of using every power at his command to make it happen.

So, who do you think said that?

MoveOn? Nope

One of us crazy liberal bloggers? Nope.

How about Admiral Fallon, Head of the US Central Command? Bingo!

For the Republicans and their corporate donors, the Iraq War will end the minute it becomes unprofitable for them to continue it. And not one minute sooner. Period.

So here is your BINDING resolution. Short. Sweet. To the point.

And it completely sidesteps the Republican's B.S. of "cutting off funding meaning that you don't support the troops". As a matter of fact, it doesn't cut off funding at all, it just shifts it.

At 10:50pm on this day in 1980, John Lennon was shot to death by Mark David Chapman outside The Dakota in New York City.

As always, this day will be marked with memorials at Strawberry Fields in Central Park and outside the Capitol Records building in Hollywood.

He lived in another time, but one that was not so very different from our own.

There are 11 House races that are still technically undecided. Below the fold you will find a list with a quick rundown of the status of these races.

Let's vigilant in watching these races to make sure that all the votes are counted fairly. I know many of us are happy that we already have a majority in the House regardless of the outcome of these races. But every race is important. Every race we can win adds to our majority. And regardless of our majority, some people will have to live with being represented by Republicans in these districts. Let's keep that number as small as we can. Read More

President Bush, in a news conference this morning, made the following statement.

I've reassured the House and Senate leaders that I intend to work with the new Congress in a bipartisan way to address issues confronting this country. I invited them to come to the White House in the coming days to discuss the important work remaining this year and to begin conversations about the agenda for next year.

Sounds benign enough, right?

If you are like me, one of the hardest things to research are the judicial elections. If you live in California, here is some info that may help you make these decisions.

Below the fold I have a list of all the Supreme Court and Appeals Court judges, along with the California Governor who appointed them. Keep in mind that Brown and Davis were Democratic Governors. Deukmejian, Wilson and, of course, Schwarzenneger were Republicans. Read More

We're coming down to the wire! As election day nears, getting out the vote is more important than ever. Please consider taking a couple of hours of your time this week or weekend to help a Democratic candidate in your area.

With only one week left, it may be more efficient to contact the Democratic campaigns directly to volunteer. With that in mind, I am again posting the list of all Senate, House, and Governors races, with links to thier campaign websites.

I will post the list a final time this Friday so people can use it to volunteer for campaign work in the final 72 hours. Read More

You folks never cease to amaze me! Yesterday we raised $320,000 in a last minute push to help get Democrats elected all over the country. It is simply one of the most FANTASTIC things I have ever seen happen on this site. We should all be extremely proud of ourselves. To quote Howard Dean "YEAAAAARRRRRGHHHH!!!"

As Kos said last night, it's now time to shift our focus. While money donations will still be appreciated by the campaigns, it is more important right now to concentrate on the ground game. The 50-State Strategy has worked, the money has been raised, it's now 50-State Get Out The Vote time!

With only a little over a week left, it may be more effective to contact the campaigns directly to see what you can do to help. With that in mind, below the fold you will find a list of all 435 House races, 33 Senate races, and 22 Governors races, with links to each of thier websites. Please contact them and help them Win this November 7th.

Because time is short, with less than two weeks before the elections, I'll spare you my usual commentary and get straight to the list.

Below the fold you will find a list of all 435 House, 33 Senate, and 22 Governors races. Each has a link to the Democratic candidate's website.

Please, please, please (OK, pretty please) consider visiting thier websites and volunteering to do whatever you can to help Democrats win this Nov 7th.
