I've decided, Harry Reid should just come out and call The Politico a bunch of liars.  It seems all the parties never even talked to that right wing rag.

Check out the update at Pollster.com.
The Republican presidential graph is all over the place! The Democratic graph is interesting too - despite recent claims that Hillary is headed up, pollsters shows her trending down, albeit slowly. Gore seems to be the only one with noticeable upward momentum.

And then look at the Bush approval graph - just for laughs.

I don't know why I continue to watch Cable news. I found myself earlier listening to Pat Buchanan (and worse, agreeing with him) as he was arguing with some wingnut about if Scooter should be pardoned....

What the hell is wrong with these people? It is ok to impeach Clinton for getting a Blow-job, but not ok to impeach this guy for covering up the outting of an undercover CIA agent??

I just don't freaking understand.

Is it just me or is the "Hillary's race to lose" post by Jerome kinda broken? Only some comments are expanded and readable, the others are listed in thread form and not all of them are selectable to be able to expand and read them. I've not had this happen before on mydd. Is this some sort of limitation of the platform being used that it can't handle displaying that many comments all at once?

Yet the Democrats' overall strategic posture as 2008 approaches remains far stronger. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, who has strengthened her lead in the race for the Democratic nomination, leads Mr. Giuliani by 48% to 43% in a potential general-election matchup after trailing by a similar margin three months ago

Fuck the Politico and their lies about Reid!!

I have an issue for the administrators of MyDD.  However, I can't find an e-mail address on the site.  So I'm going to pose it here.

As part of my "Mudcat Saunders and Regional Stereotyping"  post, I alluded to Dan Gerstein, a political consultant who most recently worked for Joe Lieberman's re-election campaign, as a "conservative" critic of the liberal bloggers.

Much to my surprise, Dan Gerstein replied to my e-mail, objected to being called a conservative and invited me to ask him questions.  This I did and I also asked if I could post our exchange in my MyDD diary.  Still, somewhat to my surprise, Mr. Gerstein has agreed to have our exchange published in this venue.    

My question is this.  Is the publication of this kind of exchange a legitimate thing to do with my MyDD diary.  I think MyDD readers might be interested in hearing Gerstein's replies to my questions concerning his position vs liberal bloggers in the Democratic Party.  At the same time, I greatly value MyDD and would not want to do anything that the administrators find objectionable or contrary to the spirit of the MyDD site.

Is there an e-mail address I could send the query to or is this a good place to ask about the appropriateness of publishing my exchange with Gerstein in my MyDD diary?

since you asked-
why is Donald Rumsfeld given an office and an extensive staff close to the pentagon and NOTHING ever came of his role in the abu gareb torture program?

Really, doesn't he have to pay some price?

   Jerome's post on Hillary didn't put me in a very good mood -- especially since it was pretty depressingly hard to argue against.

 And now this absolute abomination of an immigration bill is being revived in the Senate -- by the Democrats. A bill that I hoped was going to disappear into the mist.

 And no sign that any leading Democrats have connected the dots between the Iraq cave-in and their tanking in the polls.

 The Democrats weren't always this pusillanimous. Were they?

She made that announcement tonight on Jon Ralston's political show here in Las Vegas. She said the DCCC had approached her about it, but she has decided to concentrate on the state senate, and helping Hillary's campaign in the West.

Excellent decision by Titus. I'm very relieved. Porter can be had, but it's an uphill struggle and you need an ideal candidate. Against Titus he could rely on the standard hatchet jobs via misleading/lie commercials, and since Titus already has high unfavorables the claims would have been gobbled up.

Titus mentioned a female candidate who intends to run, but I missed the name. It does not appear that '06 nominee Tessa Hafen will pursue a rematch with Porter.

I think this is interesting: Hillary in a virtual tie with McCain and Ghouliani in Texas. Texas! I haven't seen anything on this, despite the poll being conducted late April-early May. My apologies if this has been diaried.

[T]he survey shows Republican contender Sen. John McCain essentially tied with Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton among registered voters, with McCain at 36% and Clinton at 35% in a head-to-head contest. Republican Rudy Giuliani and Clinton also are essentially tied, at 32%-31%.

Not me, but this mother of 4 in New Mexico.  It's a really wonderful diary entry, and I'd encourage everyone to take a look, regardless of your preferences.

I am writing to encourage Progressives to support progressive media.  I don't know if there is any hope for PBS although there are still some good programs on like Moyers and Frontline. Gwen Ifill, McLaughlin, and Macneill Lehrer  are not worth watching. The war documentaries are so bad I feel I have to write a letter complaining about them if I do watch.   I would like to see progressive media supported to a degree that it will be possible to start a daily progressive newspaper.

I would like to see Pacifica and Air America become very popular and have them available to most of the country.  I realize it isn't possible because every progressive wants to lead his own revolution and create his own media..  It is just a hope.
