Right now, California is reeling like much of Africa was after WWI and WWII. There is a terrible power-vacuum and it sucks. Arnold needs to dump an eerily obfuscated special election buried in May to achieve any of his goals and the Dems in the legislature are begging at the feet of three Elephants. We need either a totally re-structured government, think Annapolis Convention to Philly style approach, or a gubernatorial candidate who will do for the state what Obama has been doing for the country.

Congressman Elton Gallegly (R-Ventura County, CA) has been targeted by Act Blue for the 2010 elections. I live in the district in which he has been winning since 1988, and frankly, I'm disgusted. I am sure this can be claimed of many Congressmen, but Gallegly is the most worthless, idiotic Representative the devil could wish upon anyone. To put it bluntly, he's in over his head. Here's an example: in the recent budget fight, he managed to eke out $14 mil for our district, 14 mil badly needed to improve our schools, roads and the like, just like many other districts. That should be a good thing, right? Yes. The only problem is he voted against that very same budget because it had TOO MANY EARMARKS!If that makes sense then I'm Elmer Fudd. He needs to be voted out. It is absolute necessity. In the recent elections, we Dems down here ran a nurse/one-time, part-time home-school computers teacher for elementary school kids from the remote edges of the district. Is this a joke? Simply and sadly put: Yes. Follow me below the fold and I'll offer an alternative to this mess.

I am 17 years old. I can remember sitting on my couch in front of the tv, while my mother made us dinner, and we watched John Kerry. I was insprired by his speeches, and inspired by the Democratic Party. I was the only 8th grader in my junior high school who had a real opinion on that election and when John Kerry lost, I was devastated. I was 13 and my candidate had lost to a terrible man, George W. Bush.

Tonight, I sat on that same couch in front of the television, this time with my mom, and my dad, and we wacthed Barack Obama deliver that great speech that he just did, and all three of us had tears in our eyes. My dad, who voted for Hillary, my mom, for Obama, and their 17 year old son watched as we became a part of history.

Finally someone on Hardball says the surge is not working! These d-bags who continue to say The Surge worked piss me off. I'm so glad someone is speaking the truth. And he actually let them speak. John Saltz (how it sounds)owned the nutjob Pete Hegseth. McSame and Bush keep getting a free pass from the media when they say the Surge worked. It's a complete farce. This is a great step for politics and real reporting and debate. It's a short post I know but I had to. It's such a relief to to have someone on air actually using evidence to back up what they say.

As I follow this election, I can't help but notice the monumental differences between McCain and Obama. ALL of McCain's speeches are attacks on Obama, every newsclip, every sound bite, you hardly ever hear a sentence from him that doesn't mention Obama. He seems incapable of delivering a substantive speech about what he would do, without also trying to characterize what Obama would do. Why can't he leave that to Obama? Why can't McCain allow Obama to speak for himself? And while I notice this about McCain, my mind can't help but juxtapose this little tendency John has, to Obama's interminable refusal to acknowlegde McCain's very existence unless specifically asked about him. This disparity has really become pathetic. In other words, McCain is steadily proving himself unworthy of Barack Obama's campaign efforts and dignity.

In another astonishing report on the Huffington Post, find the full article here,untitled diary, I am astounded to hear that the Bush Administration has been funding a broadcasting nework that airs Anti-American and Anti-Israeli programs, as well as Pro-Iranian programs.

As I sit around on summer break, all my brother and I can do is speculate as to who Obama will choose for what, when he will announce, and how badly he will destroy McSame come November. After hours of the talk about the Bidens and the Hagels and the Clarks, we resort to Dailykos for more opinions.
