If you are not watching CNN or MSNBC’s live coverage it’s fact filled. You can watch the […]

Political Listening…To Other Democrats

On 6-17-2005, I was already dismayed enough by the increasingly angry disagreements within the Progressive Blogsphere that I wrote an article about effective persuasion, communication and it’s impact on campaigns at my old blog The Political Dogfight.

May 31st meeting: Rules & Bylaws Committee

Resolving the issue of the votes in Michigan and Florida is fast becoming an essential ingredient to winning in November. Enforcing the “rules” as they currently stand could help assure another “inconvenient” loss for the Democrats.
