I see that a Pennsylvania poll has Romney up by 2 points in my beloved keystone state. Something tells me that this is impossible, but the way polling goes these days nothing surprises me.

Tell me this is a messed up poll. Please!!

As I get older and a bit more cynical, I tend to focus on how the conversation is being manipulated by the right, and particularly by Drudge and Fox news.

Joe Biden had a clear edge tonight in terms of responsiveness passion and clarity. He repeatedly put Ryan's feet to the fire, and for the most part effectively defended the administration.

If you read Drudge or listen to the fox assemblage, you would have thought that he was a crazy lunatic just a few months from entry into the Alzheimers ward. Check it out.

It is beyond my abilities to put into this narrative all of the ways in which I have distaste for the conservative punditocracy. It does not however make what George Will opines in his column this morning wrong. He is in fact correct. He knows it, and they will use it.

As a kid I watched the Soviet machine flail and flail and eventually give up expansion into Afghanistan. As an adult, I have watched the Taliban rule the country in horror. Now, we watch as our troops fight and die each day in an ever longer shot to rebuild the country. I can only say enough is enough.

Forget capturing Bin Ladin, stabilizing the region, or whatever other excuses we use. The war in Afghanistan does not appear to be winnable. It is a tragedy in every way, and it sickens me greatly. However, I must agree with the premise that it appears that we must get out. And soon.

I am astounded. Hillary and Joe seem to be driving my compatriots insane, and it bums me out. One cannot have followed events here at the Daily Kos for long without seeing the amazing sense of community and common cause we had during the election. We seemed to be listening to our candidate talking about bringing the country together and ending the partisanship, and we were his preaching ministers on the streets. The man was asking us to stand with him as he brings about the changes we need. One of those changes is to WORK TOGETHER. So many people, just like you, and just like me preached it too. We knocked door to door, rang bells and dialed phones. Now, reading the Kos, it looks like two weeks later, so many of you have forgotten what we were doing.

I just want to get local for a minute here in Central Washington.

George Fearing, is the Democratic candidate for the seat occupied by one of the most vile republicans in congress, Richard 'Doc' Hastings. Hastings made a career out of lock-step party line politics and inside work for the republican machine, yet somehow avoided being sunk by the good ship Tom Delay when it went down.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) lists Doc as the fifth most corrupt congressperson on a bipartisan list of unethical members. He is coincidentally the former chair and now ranking republican on the House Ethics Committee. Say What?

Seems like a no-brainer that Doc's job would be on the line here. Well, sadly, even though there has been some money raised by the Fearing Campaign, and a well organized grass-roots effort by the local party, Fearing is doomed to lose unless the national party recognizes the need to excise the last vestiges of the old Delay machine.
