The Obama / Lincoln parallels continue -- everybody in Lincoln's time thought they could run the country better than he did.

And the coffee stains on the rumpled sweatshirts that have the 90% off retail visage of a candidate who lost to Pres. Obama last year.

First voter who asked me a question, and I'd reply with something tactful like "What kind of a stupid question is that?"
Actually, I'm usually easygoing, but when it comes to issues and politics I make Barney Frank look like a diplomat.

But, I think he should step aside as a candidate for re-election (and I personally believe he'll have no choice) no later than May of '11 so experienced and TRULY PROGRESSIVE candidates can gear up their campaigns and begin raising money, etc.

and let an experienced, TRULY progressive Democrat run. Mark it down now - if Barack Obama is the niminee, the Democratic Party is FINISHED.
He'll pull out like LBJ and the Democrats will run someone else. PLEASE bookmark this. Please.

She's brilliant, progressive, hard-working and kind.
I generally agree with her on most positions.
I hope she picks KPete or AllentownJake for VP.
I hope I am not hurting anyone's feelings. If I ponder it a bit longer, I may think of someone else.
