Of knowing they'll be more material at those times I'm in a pinch for it : Sarah Palin says she’s back on Twitter Former Alaska governor plans to offer updates from her book tour Wagging one's finger around is hard to capture in 140 words, but "Awesome Bogus, y'know" fits in quite nicely. Finally, the quartet for the 4-twits of the apocalypse is complete; Famine , Disease , War and...
Reihan compares political campaigns, past and future: Conservatives delighted in the ideological exuberance of Howard Dean's progressive youth, and they were unprepared for Barack Obama's slickly post-ideological campaign that drew on the left's energy while running a disciplined centrist campaign....
MoveOn has reportedly raised more than $3.5 million in contributions to fund primary challenges against "any Democratic senator who blocks an up-or-down vote on health care reform with a public option," according to an e-mail sent to group members. The e-mail warned that any Democratic House member who joins Republicans to filibuster the health care reform measure will "face an enormous...

Byron York has been following MoveOn.org's effort to enforce left-wing conformity on the Democratic Party. The latest news is that MoveOn has raised nearly $3.6 million to defeat any Senate Democrat who has the temerity to vote against government takeover of health care. Then there's this: And now, working in conjunction with Howard Dean's old organization Democracy for America, MoveOn is starting...
The Olbermann Watch Research Division chuckles every time it hears someone on A-Mess-NBC attacking Fox for being a partisan operation, since we know there are more opposing views aired on any given hour of Hannity or The O'Reilly Factor than you will hear in a month of Edward R Olbermann. Having just finished one such month, here's the proof. We poured through the MSNBC online transcripts and tallied...
In an interview with TPMDC, former DNC chairman Howard Dean draws a bright line between voting against a public option and filibustering it: Even though I disagree with him, Joe Lieberman is well within his right to vote against a...
NY Times: Three’s Company True, the Virginia governor’s race looks increasingly like a Republican cakewalk. But tomorrow’s other two noteworthy elections, in New Jersey and far upstate New York, have become fascinating free-for-alls. And in both cases, a third-party candidate provided the spark. It’s a shame that this doesn’t happen more often. Gerrymandered districts,...
When Joe Lieberman declared on yesterday's “Face the Nation” that no health care reform bill at all would be preferable to one with the public option, he reminded me less of a wannabe John Boehner than a bombast on the other end of the political spectrum: Howard Dean. Like his former opponent, Dean is no stranger to grandstanding for attention. Less than two months ago, Dean made a similarly...
Organizing for America is a complicated beast, and my story yesterday couldn’t quite contain some of the interesting things about it. For all the activism junkies out there, here are some outtakes. About elections: OFA doesn’t just exist to push the administration’s agenda. If all of its issue campaigns failed, OFA would still serve the purpose of keeping volunteers engaged so they’re...
Last night Countdown showed Dennis Kucinich on the floor of the House excoriating his colleagues for settling for a very disappointing bill (above) and then Howard Dean came on to talk about how it's not perfect but a good first step. A few minutes before that, Alan Grayson was on with Ed explaining why he has no problem voting for it . Confusing. I hope this will help everyone to make up their own...
Even Howard Dean called this “reform” plan crazy! “Reform” is in quotes because calling this reform is a lie.This is not reform it’s a complete socialist take over health care with rationing of care for the old and undesirable. If there was tort reform (anathema to the greedy trial lawyers like John Edwards, who coincidentally [...]
As one might have guessed, there were plenty of fireworks Tuesday night during a debate between former Bush adviser Karl Rove and former DNC chair Howard Dean held at Penn State. Pennsylvania's Centre Daily reports, There was little agreement, but a good bit of name calling, during the event which ranged in tone from heated to [...]
With Howard Dean on the mind, we couldn't resist dragging out this old but trusted war horse: He's just become so inconsequential, is all -- though still an outstanding symbol of Democrat Party idiocy....
Hearing that Howard Dean and Newt Gingrich squared off over healthcare today in the Show Me State is worrisome, in that it is reminiscent of a certain silly thing that the Newtster did not too long ago with another notorious...
