Republican Answer To "Yes We Can"...

This new video going around best encapsulates why Obama and Clinton need to come together and form a ticket.

A while ago, I told you that as Obama told us that, "Yes We Can"...

Republicans would have a lot more pessimistic message.

Here it is. :)

Head over to my blog to leave your comments!

"Hillbama"...Come Together, Right Now

This is an absolutely amazing video right now. This election is very important...our problems are huge. The Democrats cannot afford to fight a bitter, brutal fight at the convention, giving John McCain the third term for the Bush Administration.

We have two *great* candidates.

This fight is starting to get more hostile and bitter between the *supporters*. The longer this goes on, the harder it will be for the supporters of the losing candidate to back the nominee.

Howard Dean said: "The idea that we can afford to have a big fight at the convention and then win the race in the next eight weeks, I think, is not a good scenario." He continued, pointing out that if one of them didn't wrap up the nomination by the middle of spring, he would "get the candidates together and make some kind of an arrangement."

Why wait?!? Spread this video around, and send the message to Hillary and Obama...

Come together.

Right now.

Hey Democrats - The First Thing You Can Do To Help Win The White House In November...

Okay, so here's the first bit of action we Democrats can do to help win the general election in November. Whether your supporting Clinton, Obama, Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton...surely you can spend about 92 seconds on this simple at-home-action to help *whoever* the Democrats are in November.

You know we're up against some wild-eyed conservatives this month. You know...the kinds that have drug-induced panic attacks on your AM radio stations. The kind that say, George Bush is too liberal.

The discontent in the Republican party over their nominee is priceless. And, as we continue to work out our primary, we should do our part to encourage the heart burn Republicans are having.

The "George Bush is a liberal" Limbaugh-natics have started a great website at http://www.nowaymccain.com. This website lists a bunch of reasons that John McCain isn't conservative enough to be President (things like: he doesn't want to torture children of immigrants, he only wants to be in Iraq for 100 years, he didn't want to change the tax code to require the poor pay for the electricity bills of Wall Street mansions...that type of stuff).

AND - they have a formal-sounding "petition" to send to the Republican party. They want you to print it off, and mail it in to the Republican National Committee.

Who knows how many people they will actually get. But, let's do our part. Head over to No Way McCain, and print off their petition. Mail it in.

Hell, print off a few! Sign your name. Sign your sister's name. Sign George Bush's name. Hell, take a stand of solidarity, and sign the name of an illegal immigrant.

92 seconds to stir up this Republican remorse?

It's worth it.

This Is How A *RESPONSIBLE* News Organization Does It...

You may have heard some noise about MSNBC getting smacked around by the Clinton campaign. Hillary Clinton has called out MSNBC for showing a pattern of unbalanced commentary. Tucker repeatedly talks about crossing his legs when he sees Hillary. Chris Matthews says Hillary is only anything because her husband cheated on her. On and on and on.

Now, I'm not a Hillary supporter. And I love MSNBC. So don't think I'm playing Hillary's music for her.

Then, Thursday, David Shuster says that the Clinton campaign is pimping out their daughter.

Now, it's clear to everyone that David Shuster did not literally mean that they are selling their daughter for sex, in exchange for campaign contributions. No one (except maybe Limbaugh-natics) would hear that. But it was a poor comment, in poor taste. And there are connotations behind the word "pimping", which is why David picked those words.

MSNBC did the responsible thing, and publicly apologized, then suspended David Shuster. He's not fired, and he'll still have a job. But he did receive appropriate job action.

MSNBC also dropped Don Imus from their morning show, and replaced him with conservative Joe Scarborough.

Hey, Republicans....this is how a *responsible* news organization does it.

Maybe Fox could take notice.

Hillary Boycotts MSNBC...but not Fox?!?

This is interesting news. The Hillary Clinton campaign is making a big deal out of recent comments by MSNBC's David Shuster that he Clinton campaign is "pimping out" Chelsea Clinton. Shuster has since apologized for his (obviously) poor choice of words.

This is on top of a few weeks ago, Chris Matthews claiming that Hillary's Senate career was made possible, in part, due to her grace under fire during Bill's affairs. (He was much less eloquent the first time)

So, in response, Hillary Clinton is saying she will not debate Obama on MSNBC.

Which, I think is fine, if Hillary wants to make a stand on principles.

But then, why in the hell is she trying to get a debate on Fox News???


Could it be that one (or both?) of these is a bit of a political game?

250 Liberal McCain Facts? Let's Help Republicans Celebrate!

Hi friends

If you haven't gotten out to enjoy the collapse of talk-radio-haters power in politics, make sure to do it. The best thing to do is remind psycho-conservatives that if they hadn't tramped around between sleep Fred Thompson and 9/11-Loving 9iu11ani before falling into Romney...McCain wouldn't be the nomineee. All of this, mind you, is because they were too Republican to get beyond his religion. It's a sad commentary on the Republican party.

So, I've been thinking of ways to help Republicans celebrate their great nominee. John McKennedy. Author of McCain/Feingold.

Endorsed by Leiberman, 9iu11ani and Schwarzenegger.

Their global-warming-believing, amnesty-supporting, gun-show-stopping, Rumsfeld-hating, campaign-finance-reforming, gay-hate-crime-opposing Republican nominee. :)

There are 271 days between now and election day. Perhaps, I could start a 250-day list of 250 liberal facts about John McCain?

Or, perhaps, a constant reminder that John McCain doesn't support stoning gays at the Republican convention?

(After, of course, every Republican flies into the Twin Cities airport, and takes a little stop at Larry Craig's bathroom. Oh, Larry Craig will be there, by the way.)

Hit me back with some ideas....it's going to be a long ride to sending McCain back to Arizona to actually treat immigrants like the children of god.

(Republicans hate doing that.)

Howard Dean: "I Will End This Election..."

In 2004, I did everything I can to help Howard Dean rise from an asterix in the polls, to front-runner status. While he eventually only won the primary in Vermont, it was the Dean campaign that re-energized a defeated Democratic Party, and the rank and file Democrats demanded he become the chair of the Democratic National Committee.

And thank god we did that.

There's a real possiblity that neither Obama nor Hillary will win enough delegates in their own right, that the "super delegates" won't get to decide the election. To avoid a vote-by-vote count of super delegates, one of the candidates needs to get just shy of 2/3 of the remaining delegates. That won't happen.

If no one wins enough delegates to render the super delegates meaningless (or so close to it), then the other one will see a path to the nomination on the floor of the convention.

Which, quite frankly, is a wet dream for John McCain.

Fortunately, we have Howard Dean throwing cold water on that sleeping candidate.

A vote at the floor of the convention could be disasterous for the party. Hillary would fight like hell to make Michigan and Florida count. The Obamaniacs would (rightfully) have a damn panic attack, reminiscent of a Republican seeing two women hold hands. African Americans will, rightfully, feel as though we are turning our backs on them. Women will feel, rightfully, that the good ol' boys club is closing her out. It would be a mess.

Howard Dean is right when he says we can't do that. And he won't let it happen. According to Howard Dean, he is going to let this process work itself out, all the way through the last vote being counted. (That's an odd concept for many Republicans) Then, if there is no clear winner, this simply cannot go to the convention.

In 2004, us Deaniacs wanted Howard Dean to be the brains behind a campaign to replace George Bush. We certainly didn't want to wait four years, but it appears as though we can now feel like we accomplished our goal.

If this looks like it will be a brokered convention, Howard Dean will, again, save our party.

Howard Dean will bring them together.

Howard Dean will sit them down.

And Howard Dean will make a deal.

And Democrats will change this country.




Here is Dean's exact quote.

"The idea that we can afford to have a big fight at the convention and then win the race in the next eight weeks, I think, is not a good scenario. So, after the primaries are over, the last primary is June 8th in Puerto Rico, there may be another state with there, and after that if we don't have a nominee, I think we will have a nominee sometime in the middle of March or April. But if we don't, then we're going to have to get the candidates together and make some kind of an arrangement. Because I don't think we can afford to have a brokered convention -- that would not be good news for either party."
