Politics is a Dirty Business #1: TX Edition
Submitted by chicago dyke on Mon, 2007-09-10 10:00.Exhibit A: The Fuckup. Exhibit B: One Texan Blogger’s reaction. Another Texan Blogger with a totally different take. I don’t have an opinion or dog in this hunt. But I am interested to hear/read what he says today. I expect the FDL crowd to be fairly gentle, so he’s got a chance to smooth this over. FWIW: I’m willing to cut him some slack, even if he wasn’t just tired and fumbling. Everyone makes mistakes, and this is what the primary season is all about, getting out the kinks and learning to run a smooth, lighting fast reactive campaign (among other things). Texans, what do you think? Netroots, has this offended you so greatly he’s dead to you? Politics is often ’dancing with the girl you brought.’ Is this such a case?
Netroots to Hillary: We're Not Buying It
Submitted by chicago dyke on Wed, 2007-01-31 15:57.Ok, this is funny. Via the Act Blue page about who the netroots have given to so far, this gesture of support and respect:

Edwards seems to be the ActBlue choice thus far. Sorry Lambert, I don’t mean to break the rule of not talking about them, but it made me laugh.

Rahm is a Total Failure
Submitted by chicago dyke on Wed, 2006-11-15 00:15.This is one of the best and most complete recitations of why Rahm sucks goats that I’ve read since the elections. Save it, and throw it in the face of everyone who parrots the “victory for centrists” and “moderate mandate” crap. Here are some highlights:
The failure of Emanuel’s strategy can be demonstrated by the numbers. Of the 21 “first wave” picks announced on April 27th, only nine have been declared winners, with one (Joe Courtney in CT-02) holding a 170 vote lead over the incumbent, and three others losing by 1400 (Madrid, NM-01), 2700 (Kilroy, OH-05) and 3600 (Burner WA-08) votes in races that are still considered “too close to call.” Four of Emanuel’s “first wave” picks lost by over 10,000 votes (Busansky, FL-09; Lucas KY-04; Derby NV-02; and Cranley, OH-01).Only three of Emanuel’s picks received support by the two largest ActBlue organizations (Murphy, PA-06; and Gillibrand, NY-20 both supported by Blue America, with Burner supported by NetRoots.) At least three of the DCCC’s “first wave” picks were against incumbents who were directly implicated in the Abramoff scandal (Hayworth, Taylor, Sweeney), and a fourth (Nick Lampson) was running against a write in candidate for Tom Delay’s old seat. (Lampson did not run for Delay’s unexpired term, but his Write-In opponent received more votes in that contest than Lampson received in the general election.) Read more
Netroots: Your Time is Now
Submitted by chicago dyke on Wed, 2006-11-08 18:03.Lambert and Chris are doing a little well deserved back patting, pointing out that without the Netroots, yesterday’s victories would’ve been a lot less momentous. I basically agree. If there was record “voter anger” and tremendous potential in the electorate, it’s still the case that Netroots activism helped the mostly clueless Dems take advantage of that. That’s the good news. Here’s the bad news: starting tomorrow, the job for the Netroots community just got harder, more important, and requiring of even greater effort. Read more
