Last night, I took a cab back to my hotel from the festivities. I'm staying in a part of Denver called Cherry Creek, which is around 5 miles from downtown. My cabdriver told me that if I ever got to talk to Obama or any of his people I should give them some advice.

Here is one hard working blogger. ShadowSD has a post at Daily Kos which gives a very detailed view of the case for Obama over McCain. This is only his quick “bullet point summary.” The full post provides far more information. I’ll be adding it to the reference list over on the right. During the primary, [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiQMDmvdqA0 It is all about judgment. SALON: Republicans are already starting to gird themselves for a Nov. 4 debacle. A front-page story in Sunday’s New York Times featured GOP leaders lamenting the disarray in the McCain campaign.
