Deval Patrick has officially announced his candidacy. He is the first to do so, although everyone pretty much knows Tom Reilly (MA Attorney General) will run.

Romney (R), the current governor, has ignored mass transit, allowing the T (MBTA) to lapse into a state of disrepair and corruption, he has vehemently opposed marriage equality, he has (for solely political reasons - he wants to be president) opposed somatic cell nuclear transfer, a key aspect to stem cell research (because the common name for it is "theraputic cloning" which sounds "bad" to people), and he has completely ignored his pledge to "clean up state government".

I just was shown this, via a friend of mine.

It's a clip showing how much of Fox News' coverage is based on misconceptions, and it shows an interview with Coulter.

This isn't a typical goodbye rant, as I've already asked the Kos tech people to delete my account. I encorage you NOT to respond - I know you'll be very upset and angry that you have to let such an amazing, witty, and brilliant person as me go. But please don't try to salvage my broken self esteem by encouraging me to stay [Or do - wink wink, nudge nudge].

I hope that by sharing the story of how I was attacked by the evil people at dailyKos will help new people to understand that everyone here will hate you, even if you write things as brilliant and simply awesome as me. (They get jealous of your amazing writing, don't take it personally.) Read More

What do you guys think? In terms of explicitly liberal news/analysis-type shows, as well as liberal sitcoms and shows like that.

Obviously, the Daily Show on Comedy Central and Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO (you can download these here) are great shows. What other shows do you guys like?

Also, what books, magazines, and newspapers do you recommend?

I'll put a poll up comparing the most popular TV shows, books, magazines, and newspapers once enough people respond.

GA Gov - Perdue looking vulnerable

Seems like Gov. Sonny Perdue may be pretty vulnerable in 2006:

Strategic Vision. 2/11-13. MoE 3%

Secretary of State Cathy Cox (D) is probably the most popular Democrat in the state. She won her last election by a large margin, with the vast majority of Georgia counties.

Perdue (R) 49
Cox (D) 45

Now, Lt. Governor Mark Taylor (D) is also pretty popular, though not as much as Cox.

Perdue (R) 50
Taylor (D) 44

Either way, for such a deep red state, after becoming the first Republican governor of Georgia in over 130 years, he's pretty damned vulnerable. Read More

Tomorrow's Boston Globe has a story about a two-hour interview with Kerry where he describes the shortfalls of his campaign, pledges to sign a form releasing all his military records, then challenges Bush and the Swift Boat Vets to do the same.

I was planning on releasing a much more elaborate and longer diary within the next month, with the results from a poll I sent to every legislator, but it doesn't look like many of them will respond, and many haven't even decided yet. Here's a summary.

When George Bush was pushing the need for a war with Iraq in fall of 2002, you believed everything he said. You thought he was a kick-ass guy and you were with him all the way. I wasn't much into politics at the time, but something about the lead up to the war just made me call bullshit.

Josh Marshall has just posted a question on his site:

So many progressive organizations out there with time on their hands. Which one will put together the online database listing where every representative and senator stands on Social Security?

Who supports the program, who wants to phase it out, and who's keeping their cards close to their vest, trying to figure which way the wind will blow?

Only a bit of money and only a bit of staff resources -- and to such good effect. Who will step up to the plate?

I'm stepping up. Read More

We ought to know where our Senators and Representative stand on this issue, right? We need to know whether this has a chance of passing, right? If you want to help our cause, and call your legislators, visit the following blog, Save Social Security, and follow the instructions to call your Reps and report the results so we can put them all together. If you're interested in helping me with the site design, which is still under construction, email me at dudeursistershot@gmail.com

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
