[video below the fold] From the Hillary Clinton youtube page, around the 1:50 mark in the following video, watch the eyes of the girl dance from above the camera back down when she seems to lose her place in the middle of an extremely well phrased compliment for Hillary...

The clip is supposed to be a humanizer, a question and answer segment to allow Hillary to seem more accessible to a demographic (this one aimed at college students) that she is not reaching. It mixes "impromptu" college age interviews it would seem from right after a rally or event with her answering question. Why then does she or the campaign at least feel the need to include scripted bits like this under the guise of nonchalant comment?

It would seem that these disingenuous antics are particularly the reason why she continues to be unable to access young people.

just a suggestion, why not have a system for diaries similar to the main page blogging, where when a post is entered it is filed under a certain category, this would considerably clean up and organize the diaries page and if people can't post a diary on a specific topic of merit, then it could be filed under "rant" or "other"

once the categories were in place one could customize their diary page to only include diaries that had certain labels, or one could filter for certain categories or just click the links to the different category pages, the possibilities are endless here.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04324/414066.stm

The Penn Hills School District asked Sen. Rick Santorum a $38,000 question. That is whether his children are residents of the municipality to the point that their educations should be paid for by Penn Hills taxpayers.
On Wednesday he gave his answer and it was no.
The senator shouldn't have felt put upon. It's the same question that other districts routinely ask of families who impose themselves on a public school system where they do not live -- sometimes because of athletics, sometimes because of better education.
Five Santorum children have been home-schooled at their house in Leesburg, Va., through the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School, an education paid for by the Penn Hills district to the tune of $38,000 a year, until it became apparent recently that they don't live in Penn Hills.

Recently posted on PunkVoter, speaking to the ammenities we enjoy daily, c/o liberals...

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.

...continued below the fold, also link to the new tv ad put out by punkvoter, and a shameless plug. i strongly suggest reading the entire thing, its a good piece. Read More

This week we were dealt a huge blow with the loss of the afl-cio endorsement going to Arlen "I hate the working man" Specter.

But i am not going to give up. Its just as simple as that.

I do not come from a rich family, i dont have a great job that allows me spending money, so my fiscal contributions are limited. But my time and energy are limitless.

I am 17. i cant even vote in this election, but i will not sit down. I've got something to say here, and people damn well better listen.

Maybe we wont win this one, its possible. But this is my optimism speaking - i believe we have a hope. A hope that the only thing keeping Joe down in the polls is his name recognition, a hope that i can live in a Pennsylvania not consumed by ultra-con homophobic senators. A hope that a genuine progressive will be elected.

I will not give up on this one, i am fighting to the death, and id be obliged if any of you would join me.
