Brownsox over at Daily Kos got a laugh out of it. Others have brought this up to me with such reactions as "ugh..." or "what is he thinking?" Without further adieu, check out the new jingle from the Jack Davis campaign . Here are the lyrics of this song: Well, we've seen the light, and it's high time, That we send a new man down to Congress this time, Jack Davis will take a stand...and be that brand...
Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 7/22-23. Likely voters. MoE 4.5% (No trend lines) McCain (R) 53 Obama (D) 40 Obama is getting only 15 percent of the white vote. Kerry, for his part, got 22 percent of the white vote in 2004. This poll closely tracks black turnout with the 2004 election (31 percent versus 30 percent in 2004), and we can assume those numbers will be greatly boosted thanks to Obama's presence...
(Originally posted on Daily Kos.) Since its inception 100 years ago this week, FBI has been assigned with an increasingly difficult task: protecting the public welfare in a free and democratic society. Throughout its history, the FBI has achieved moments of glory and succumbed to periods of shame. At its best it has achieved some praiseworthy accomplishments — the enforcement of civil rights, significant...
After asserting that the blog Daily Kos posted "hateful e-mails" about the late former White House press secretary and host of Fox News Sunday Tony Snow, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly called former Vice President Al Gore an "evil enabler" for delivering a July 19 speech at the Netroots Nation convention and repeatedly compared the event to gatherings by the Ku Klux Klan, Nazi Party, and David Duke. According...
The cutest damned politics story this blog will ever point you toward. Seriously. Thanks, ** backlon! ** Daily Kos | MLDB | "Just a Second, Obama is Speaking" The quote in the title is from the oldest of the two pre-schoolers in our house. Early in the afternoon I tuned into the teevee broadcast to catch Obama's speech.... Fast forward to after the dinner hour and some tinkering around with toys, etc....
A link to a Daily Kos rant led to me a comment within the replies. The original poster was complaining about an argument he had with his next-door neighbour , about Barack Obama. She uttered the worst thing you can imagine about him. No, not that. Not the word Jesse Jackson used for black people like Obama. Something worse, if that's possible: That, if he is elected, that she hoped he would be killed...
Cross-posted on Daily Kos I have never endured a more difficult experience than the cliquey, judgmental, make it or break it middle school crowd of my childhood years. I'll be perfectly honest, at 20 years old, those memories are quite fresh in my mind. I'm sure you can relate in some way. I know, I'm well aware of the demographics of Dkos, however I also am aware of the universality of assholes,...
The non-partisan Research 2000 company has released polling out of Mississippi commissioned by Daily Kos , and yet again the numbers show that the special election race to fill the unexpired term of Trent Lott is a remarkably tight one. Roger Wicker (R): 45 percent Ronnie Musgrove (D): 44 percent With these new numbers in the mix, the latest Pollster.com trend estimate actually shows Musgrove ahead...
It's all over the blogosphere, but here's a link to the Daily Kos write up of it: There is one more John McCain gaffe that the media missed from the now famous CBS interview with Katie Couric. This is the same interview in which McCain claimed the surge led to the Anbar Awakening, which is demonstrably false. But watch below for another gaffe when McCain says Iraq was the first major conflict after...
While discussing MoveOn.org's " Petition Against Fox's Racist & Hate-Filled Smears " on the July 23 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor , host Bill O'Reilly said, "[Sen. Barack] Obama must condemn organizations like MoveOn and the Daily Kos if he truly wants to run without a race component. These are the people that are dividing Americans along racial lines. It is not a stretch to say MoveOn...
Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 7/21-23. Likely voters. MoE 4.5% (No trend lines) McCain (R) 45 Obama (D) 42 A couple of weeks ago, Rasmussen had the race tied 43-43 , and some wondered whether it might be an outlier. Obama campaigned in the state over the Fourth of July holiday, suggesting their own internals showed a race in the cards, but Ras had offered the only recent public poll in the state. This...
There's big news today for those who have been working toward "blue-green alliances" between organized labor and environmental groups. Thanks to this Daily Kos diary by TomP , I learned that Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa has pulled the union out of an alliance supporting more oil drilling in environmentally [...]
Document forensics expert: Obama "Birth Certificate" a "horrible forgery" by Israel Insider staff July 20, 2008 The purported Certification of Live Birth published by the Daily Kos left wing blog and claimed as genuine by the Obama campaign features a security border that differs dramatically from security borders on COLB documents before and after the one supposedly printed out for Obama in 2007....
A brand spanking new Research 2000 Poll is out , commissioned by Daily Kos on the state of the Mississippi Senate and Presidential races. And what's it find? Well, there's a statistical tie between Musgrove and Wicker, and Obama's numbers are ticking up (and these numbers include 15% of African-American voters as undecided). Numbers in parenthesis are from a 5/22 poll conducted by the same outfit:...
