Mitt Romney had the swell idea yesterday to do five television interviews and demand in each that the Obama campaign apologize for suggesting he may have committed a felony in lying to the SEC.
Yep - first thing I noticed (on the second time around.) It's MItt's awful voice echoing in those empty rooms that really slams the message home.
Prolly a bump of the spacebar while the text was selected. Intense Debate considers empty space a comment -- which seems only fair if they're going to accept what's posted at BrightFart.
When Trudeau finally really resigned in 1984, I couldn't stand him. I since have come to the conclusion, through looking again and again at his accomplishments (I teach 20th century Canadian history) that was,in fact, our greatest Prime Minister. (I haven't forgiven him yet for the War Measures Act, but nobody's perfect)
I fully agree with your point. OTOH, since they haven't done so (yet?), I very much doubt that there was much anybody could have done to mitigate the 2010 disaster. Most of the seats lost were Blue Dogs losing to official Republicans, in sort of a backlash to 2006 when the Dogs sneaked in because the sainted "independents" were temporarily disgusted with W's fucking up. By 2010, of course, they'd forgotten.
Back to your point about the 50-state strategery (sic), the only cure for this &quot;Blue Dogs go in, Blue Dogs go out&quot; effect on party ascendancy is for the Dems to <i>persistently</i> cultivate real Dem alternatives in the swing districts. This, of course, would require the DNC to commit real money to, and candidates willing to run in, races they&#039;re almost sure to lose -- maybe repeatedly. Changing opinions requires continuous messaging, and you can&#039;t really put out a message without campaigning.
Oh my- Jon and Stephen get back from their holidays tomorrow- won&#039;t they have fun!
That&#039;s what the interwebz are for!
Not being a major connoiseur, naturally Gordon Liu.
Michelle Yeoh&#039;s bike jump in Police Story 3 remains a favorite scene of mine, though.

I just want to see Sistah Sarah stride into that convention like it&#039;s going to be handed to her on a silver platter. PLEEEZ!!

We can take it to the streets if we have to!
Without the blimp I can&#039;t say I&#039;m very interested in the organized executions.

Timing is everything.
Me too. Can we just all go to Paris after the election?
That&#039;s pretty cool -- you get an upfist just for figuring out how to post a non-comment.
al jazeera&#039;s coverage of this is more up to date than bbc&#039;s.
figures.
Oops, Willard not Wilfred. Oh well, when you&#039;re called Mitt by your friends and enemies, does it matter?
Ha!
