Don’t Call It A Comeback, Lamm Edition

Word has it that Peggy Lamm, who was badly out-fundraised by Ed Perlmutter last quarter, has gotten her act together in that department and is now keeping pace with Ed dollar for dollar. If that’s the case, it bolsters the chances that EMILY’s List will get involved. If that happens, Peggy will have fundraising consultant [...]

Where’s Ritter?

I know that it’s August of 2005, and that it’s over a year before Coloradans will pick our next governor. Still, given all that, where’s Bill Ritter–the only announced Democratic candidate for that office? More to the point, where is he on the internet?

Summer House Cleaning

Since I’m now blogging on a somewhat regular basis again, I’m doing a bit of house cleaning–sweeping out old links, adding new ones, that sort of thing.

Hacking Away

As you now know, Iraq vet Paul Hackett came within 3,500 votes of claiming the most Republican seat in the Ohio Congressional delegation. Many of my friends in the liberal blogosphere have taken his astonishing performance to mean that there’s a tidal wave brewing for our side, just like 1994 proved tidal for the Republicans.
I’d [...]

Another Hero

Y’know, it’s been a loooong time since I’ve posted here. Part of me was frustrated with the fact that my country, the one I love, the one I’ve bled for, chose quite willingly to go on in the direction it’s been shuffling in. It angered me. And so, because I was frustrated, I quit writing. [...]
