Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

™ is worth about $10 million per inch as measured by the Republicans investigating it.... And to hear the Republicans tell it, The Clenis™ is responsible for everything that's wrong with the country, then and now.... Watch them change the subject to The Clenis™ whenever they start losing an argument on the merits; it's fun, and educational! He don't need no stinkin' codpiece ....

Nothing New
Didn't Chris Dodd a few weeks back say that Obama would be better than Hillary because of her Iraq war vote? Which, of course, was exactly the same as Chris Dodd's vote, prompting a friend of mine to ask if Dodd was going to return the money he raised for his campaign since, like Hillary, he clearly isn't qualified to be President and had no business running against Obama and his superior judgement.
And here's Riverdaughter's summary of Richardson's endorsement (which should be checked out on her site because she includes links):
Heh.
"Do what you feel in your heart to be right -- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. " - Eleanor Roosevelt
What Jane said
What I have a problem with are people espousing a set of rules strictly on the basis of advocacy for their candidate, without regard to whether it's a good thing for the party, long-term. Just because it's Good For My Candidate Now doesn't make it a smart way to run the party over time, and those who are indulging in these kinds of proclamations at a volatile moment without taking that into consideration are not showing either good judgment or leadership.
this is how I feel about the 48 state strategy.
no one voted Richardson anyway, so who
does he bring to Obama? He isn't popular anywhere, and he's lousy on the stump.
It's like Kerry and Kennedy going all out for him, and he couldn't even carry Mass.
Hmmm.....

This is a petard upon which many campaigns and advocates and, ahem, blogs might be hoist.
And they're not all pro-Obama.
For the record, I support Obama, but I also support do-overs in FL and MI. I also realize there are thorny problems with both, but I think they are worth doing.
Richardson is a turncoat
He wants a VP spot desperately. When HRC was ahead, he defended her during a debate when the other guys were piling up. Now that BO is ahead, he sucks up to him... simple as that.
Go Global!
Nah, no turncoat. Just an opportunist.
He's really not worth working out on.

media keeps repeating same lines--
i'm hearing the same "this is a big deal" that they said endlessly about Kerry and Kennedy (and that whole parade of Kennedys and Maria Shriver, etc) before--it wasn't a big deal at all, and Obama lost MA and CA.
Every endorsement for Obama is always gigantically important (unless it's Al Sharpton's)--and Hillary's campaign is always over---rinse and repeat.
It would have been nice to see Murtha get a little press.
I just realized. The reason they have to shout...
... is that nobody believes them. It's always an uphill climb.
Same deal with the Boiz on the Blogs, and for exactly the same reason.

lambert, that's been the best thing about the coverage--
that voters prove them wrong over and over, and actually are reacting against it in some ways.
It's just too bad the McCain media image is so set in stone and the love they have for him is so deep--McCain isn't seen negatively by Americans no matter what he says or does.
