Domenico Montanaro needs to be spanked.

Another venture by me into the land of twitterdom. Did you hear him on NPR yesterday? Saying it was a bad week for Hillary because she lied on Fox?????

@DomenicoNPR #NPR"We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI," Comey told Chairman Jason Chaffetz during one of the opening exchanges.

Hillary!!! She's smart and she has a heart!!!

Just another post to remind us that we have a positive version of this campaign.

How did Hillary and Kaine do in PA and Ohio? Presumably...

... people that needed persuading didn't come to their rallies. Any evidence of taking bites out of the Republican voters?

I do want to know this, but I also want a Hillary/Kaine presence in DEMOCRATICUnderground.

If you're planning on canvassing and can't figure out...

...what to say to people who think she lied about e-mails (I lie awake nights trying to put my long history supporting Hillary into words), then print out the post below and hand it to the person, explaining that it's pretty complicated, but the bottom line is that she didn't lie.

What was the difference between Kaine's speech the Saturday...

... before the convention and the one at the convention?

I'm getting a bit depressed.

Over the past 24 hours I've posted several thoughts about the need to support candidates in contested senate and house races. I thought it was pretty exciting. I was inspired by a post (referenced in my posts) of someone who wanted advice about where to go to support house/senate candidates.

Specifically, I urged folks to "adopt" a house and senate candidate who has a chance of winning. "Adopt" meaning support with time and money. It's not necessary to be a constituent. I live in Mass and adopted NH Maggie Hassan and Carol Shea-Porter.

But I got very few responses. Is this because we, committed dems, are not responding to Bernie's exhortation to win back the senate and house?

Is it because we don't take seriously the fact that Hillary can't do it alone?

Here's a sobering story about the prospects for the senate.

And here are my posts that didn't take off.

Come on, folks, we really need to work all fronts!

If you know about a tight senate race, list it here.

Hillary can't do it alone. We can take back the senate this year! Pick a contender to support. You don't have to be a constituent! Hopefully this post will gather lots of suggestions.

If you know about a tight house race, list it here.

Hillary can't do it alone. To take back the house we need to start this year. Pick a contender to support. You don't have to be a constituent! Hopefully this post will gather lots of suggestions.
