Hi Kossacks.

If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, please read his statement at www.grassrootsforgrant.com.

I learned today that I must be a "San Francisco Democrat."

I find this more proof that the right-wing nutjobs who prefer a one party state are reality challenged.

I live in the Puget Sound, not San Francisco. But when has reality mattered much to the Bush-Sali Republithugs?

This is what the supporters of Bill Sali's campaign have come to -- attacking the son of the candidate, Larry Grant, and using the empty chair debate tactic to do it too. Excellent play from the Karl Rove playbook. Read More

I love to hear conservatives in Idaho claim that Bill Sali (Republican candidate for ID-1st, running against Netroots candidate Larry Grant) is getting railed by the Liberal Idaho Media.

To understand the irony, you'd have to know that all the major news outlets in North Idaho are owned by a Republican, as well as those in Eastern Idaho and now Southern Idaho are Republican supporter owned.

So those major media outlets that exist where no one lives are the producers of liberal news in the Gem State...

So while the Liberal Idaho Press is not asking Candidate Bill Sali several questions, one behavior I find particularly disturbing (I had to pick just one to write about) is this... Read More

Mostly, I'd rather talk sex, but DKos is all about politics.

Do sex and politics really intersect at all (outside of policy)? I remember an ex White House staffer talking about the televison show "The West Wing." One of his criticisims was "the amount of time spent on personal relationships is far out of proportion to reality." I always wanted to follow up on that. Was he admiting to being oblivious to the picadillos going on around him, or was the White House Staff so button-downed professional that such things as office flirtations, etc, were just out of bounds. My guess is this, as much as we'd all agree that compartmentalizing personal relationships outside of work may be best, such compartmentalization works for people who are, or who border on, being workaholics.

I have nothing to report on this subject (well, not here on DKos, maybe on alt.soc.sex) so this is a sound off diary. Post your favorite comments, diaries, links or observations from (or hopes for) the week.

Crowded Field Vying For Idaho Congressional Seat
By Elizabeth Wynne Johnson
BOISE, ID 2006-08-15 The race is on for Idaho's open seat in Congress. And though Idaho is one of the most conservative states in the nation, there's growing buzz that a Democrat just might have a shot this year. So what gives? Correspondent Elizabeth Wynne Johnson has this look at the shifting sands in Idaho's top midterm race.

On Tonight's Bill O'Reilly show (I don't know the name of the show, I don't watch Fox News. The channel was on at the health club while I was waiting for food...), he challenged his panel to name a Republican, that wasn't a political operative, that was calling the Democrats the Taliban. Read More

The GOP proudly proclaims:

Conservative values are at the heart of the Republican Party, and the hard work of conservatives was integral to the historic Republican successes in 2000, 2002, and 2004.

Darcy Burner, Democratic candidate for the 8th District of Washington State, is fueling the enthusiasm for the change in direction Washington D.C. will take this fall. As T. Haskins at The Blue State writes:

If you are looking for a good example of the anti-Republican political shift that is going on in mainstream America, look no further than Bellevue, Washington -- just 10 minutes away from where I live. Bellevue and the area surrounding it usually votes Republican, and did in 2004 when they elected GOP Dave Reichert to U.S. Congress. However, with the war in Iraq and high gas prices here at home, residents of that district are now realizing they are not getting what they asked for when they headed to the polls to help reelect President Bush.

Darcy's campaign is driving towards victory with two great pieces of news this week...

This from The Hill 7/27:

McCaskill hit with GOP ethics complaint
By Jackie Kucinich
The Missouri Republican State Committee filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee yesterday against Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, Missouri's state auditor, accusing her of breaking personal-finance disclosure laws.
http://www.thehill.com/...

What does the ethics complaint by the Republican State Party allege?

The complaint charges that McCaskill failed to provide even the "bare minimum" of information requested by the Senate.

How does the State Republican party know this?

The answer over the jump... Read More
