Pacific WWII wasn't lost at Pearl Harbor nor was it won at Midway. It was a long committed struggle. Rejoice in your gains and fight on against the losses. What you do next will have a huge impact in 2012. You're a guiding light, you're not alone, and I can tell you that this family is reworking it's budget to help you guys with whatever comes next!
Shoveling piles of cash accumulated by someone else into the greedy hands of a shadowy few is easy. Fundamentally restructuring society for the betterment of the many is hard. To those who criticize Obama for not being as effective for the Left as Bush was for the Right it's time to recognize how the differences in agenda relate to the effort and strategies involved.

With all of the hypocritical closeted homosexuals in the news lately it's very easy to write snarky articles and comments attacking the positions of homophobic right wingers. But I'd like to take a moment and reflect on what these revelations might have to say about the consequences of being born gay in America.
Massachusetts has not had to do this in over 40 years! This is all new territory! The only thing the polls are telling us is that the Republicans are fired up and Democrats need to get out and vote!
I was just down at the IBEW on Freeport street in Dorchester MA tonight to asses the situation for tomorrow. I just missed Coakley herself firing up the troops. We are meeting at 10am. This is the building with the huge wind power generator just off 93 in Southie. Also it has a huge Coakley LED display :)
I've always assumed that Massachusetts would go Blue and whatever efforts I made would never change that fact. We we're supposed to be the people Red Staters railed against: educated, empathetic, worldly elites. Seeing a poll that suggests my state might send not just a Republican to the Senate but the Republican who has promised to derail the Nations hard work on reform is heart breaking.
McCain's camp has pulled out the "Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005" in an attempt to flip the script on Obama's attacks. They are combining this line of attack with linkage of Obama to a Fannie Mae scandal.
So the narrative becomes Obama in bed with the very organizations at the center of the crisis vs. McCain the maverick reformer. Obviously a strong counter punch. How is it being countered?
I was talking to a McCain supporting friend of mine about the economic meltdown and he came out with the argument that the crisis was precipitated by the Carter era "Community Reinvestment Act". This bill was sort of an Affirmative Action for lenders. It required banks to collect racial data with their loan applications to insure that a certain percentage of loans went to minorities regardless of the risk. The argument goes that by forcing banks to make bad loans, it caused the meltdown we are now experiencing. He pulled out Stan Liebowitz as a proponent of this argument.
