The Media: Still Getting John Kerry Wrong

Posted on January 31st, 2007 by Todd Mitchell

Media Matters has an excellent spanking of the mainstream media and several right wing “drudges” regarding John Kerry’s supposed “tearful” exit from the ‘08 race.
Writes Eric Boehlert (bolds mine): “For the record, at no point did Kerry shed any tears on the floor of the Senate last Wednesday; he simply did not “cry.” Rather, during [...]

Self-Selected, Unelected, Disconnected VP

Posted on January 29th, 2007 by Robert Stein

Cross posted from Connecting.the.Dots:
Does Cheney, a New York Times editorial asks, “simply feel free to cut the ground out from under Mr. Bush?”
Why not? In 2000, after heading the search for a running mate, Cheney looked in the mirror and picked himself.
They lost the popular vote (and who knows about Florida?), but Cheney came to [...]

“Campaign For Our Country”

Posted on January 26th, 2007 by Javelin

Just posted over at JK-com is a thank-you from the Senator to all those who made comments to his announcement Wednesday.
In this thank-you he has asked for people who wanted a John Kerry campaign for the presidency to shift gears and give the same effort for a “campaign for our country”. I think it was [...]

So Now What? And Who?

Posted on January 25th, 2007 by Todd Mitchell

I realize in the shock and grief over John Kerry’s announcement yesterday, most of us can’t really think about where to go or whom to support for ‘08 on the Democratic side.

Well, There’s Always Secretary of State

Posted on January 24th, 2007 by Todd Mitchell

Assuming a Democrat is elected in ‘08 to the White House, I’d like to put my nomination forward for Secretary of State: John F. Kerry. He’s the definition of “statesman” and “diplomat”. And it would be refreshing to have someone who actually knows a thing about foriegn policy at State for a change. Come [...]

Throw Scooter From The Train

Posted on January 24th, 2007 by Todd Mitchell

Cross posted from Article of Faith:
People who are far better writers and have more time than I do are weighing in on the opening day of the Scooter Libby trial. But his essential defense, that he was made the scapegoat to protect, not only the president, but Tubby Rove, is hardly surprising to those of [...]
