Testing 1-2-3...

There are still some bugs with this thing, but we're close to squashing them. You can now embed whatever maps you want from the Daily Kos Political Scoreboard. In this case, I've pulled the 2000 map of the Nebraska Senate race, in which Democrat Ben Nelson narrowly defeated his Republican opponent. Go ahead and mouseover the counties to get additional data. Pretty cool, huh? The scoreboard features...

Obamaha

The plan: To win Nebraska's 2nd congressional district, or Omaha, so if the nightmare scenario happens, Obama wins 270-268. Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has even taken to calling the city "Obamaha" these days. Earlier this month, former Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., did two events for Obama -- one with veterans, one with a women's group -- back in his former home state; Kerrey says Obama can win there, though...

Why is Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin expected to campaign in Omaha, Nebraska, Sunday night? Because there is a highly plausible scenario involving battleground states -- 19 plausible scenarios, in fact, according to the Obama campaign -- where the day after...

Moderate Senate Dems build ‘Gang of 16′ to influence cap-and-trade bill

E&E Daily has the story: Moderate Senate Democrats with close ties to business and organized labor are aiming to take charge of the global warming debate next year.

Nine Dems oppose foreign bank bailout

Dan Reilly passes this along: Nine Democratic Senators have thrown a possible wrench into the consensus bill -- a request for a ban on bailing out foreign banks. Dianne Feinstein, Amy Klobuchar, Jim Webb, Ken Salazar, Bill Nelson, Ben Nelson, Barbara Boxer, Blanche Lincoln and Tom Harkin sent Majority Leader Harry Reid a polite but firm five-point letter. It also calls for "clearly specified" limits...

Dear Mr. President, Please don’t just incinerate our $700B…

From a letter to Pelosi, Reid, McConnell, and Boehner (Republicans marked in italics): We write to urge you to include in any legislation funding federal purchases of troubled assets a provision creating a Special Inspector General to oversee the emergency efforts of the Treasury Department…. This proposal is based on the Special Inspector General appointed to investigate [...]

Blue America Welcomes Scott Kleeb, The Next Nebraska Senator

In 2006 Scott Kleeb ran against far right Republican closet queen Adrian Smith in the largest -- like 75% of the state -- and most Republican (R+24!!!) district in Nebraska. In a district that gave Bush 75% of its vote in 2004 (while rewarding the GOP congressional incumbent with 87%), Scott managed to astound political observers with 45% of the vote. People in the ultra conservative 3rd district liked...

NRO Slams the Gang of 10

And deservedly so. While deceptively claiming to open up the American coasts to oil and natural gas exploration and drilling they are really a vehicle for business as usual handouts to special interests. When the gang of 10 is broken down into its parts the list of senators is the usual list of [...]

Popular Progressive: Look What Got Slipped in the New Energy Reform Act

Congress will come back from summer recess, and immediately consider energy legislation. These bills, which would allow offshore oil drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf as a supposed response to high gasoline prices, also contain massive taxpayer subsidies for the nuclear power industry. Introduced a month ago, the “New [...]
