Veteran political reporter Ron Fournier thinks Huck may have gone too far.
Apparently, Huckabee “called a news conference to unveil a negative ad that he had just withdrawn from Iowa television stations because, he told a room full of journalists recording the ad, he had a sudden aversion to negative politics.” Hmmm… “Quite a convenient epiphany,” says […]

I just ran across this ad below from Hillary Clinton on the housing crisis and the economy. It’s a good ad and timely topic that needs attention:

It’s New Year’s Eve and just about every blogger I know is reflecting on the year we are leaving behind.
Many of my regular readers know that I started my new year on October 12th, on my 37th birthday, so for me, New Year’s Eve is mostly what I consider the end of another tax season.
I […]

The Sunday L.A. Times had a brilliant OP/ED cartoon that was a full page today. The punchline: “Me Again Why I’m Not Supposed to Like Hillary?” It’s really, as Taylor Marsh says, a “must see.” Taylor also nails it in saying:
Why aren’t you supposed to like Hillary? Because the traditional media, cable talking heads, wingnut […]

Watch this video of a most explosive anti-war Senate speech attacking Bush by Joe Biden. Perhaps after viewing this clip, you’ll think he should be in the game for NH and through to Feb. 5. I do.
(If you’ve never seen a Senator nearly lose it on the Senate floor, take the time to watch this […]

If you read Chris Dodd’s blog and Matt Browner-Hamlin’s constant updates you will see they have a very strong ground game in progress. Can it make a difference in the few hours left until the Iowans meet on a frozen night? I hope so. I want both Chris Dodd and Joe Biden in this fight.

One of the things Benazir Bhutto was arguing for, as she campaigned for the upcoming elections, was a rejection of that false choice between security and freedom. She wanted to see beyond the spectacle of political violence and terrorism. She wanted that for her own people, but just as importantly she wanted the world to see this. She had pledged to confront the violent extremists, not to abide by them and she planned to do this with something much more effective than helicopter gunships or police state repression. She campaigned on the idea that the most effective weapon in the face of terrorism was the clear mandate of legitimate democracy. There are those who argue that her murder is evidence of her mistaken outlook. To my mind, they only take the crime one step further.

Wow. Another year is coming to an end.
I’m going to be ending this year in the same way that I ended last year (same what and where), with one notable exception. I’ll be working my musical magic on New Year’s Eve, just like I did last year. But, this year, SSG Dizzy will not be […]
