If you are checking this diary and looking for some profound discussion I'll have to disappoint you.

Since it is Victory Day and I didn't see a diary about it I decided to pay tribute and post a photo diary featuring some of the WW2 veterans that took part in the celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany.

To all of them that are still alive, to those who passed away and to the tens of millions that died during the WW2 I want to say 'Thank you for your sacrifice'.

PoliticsPA is the first to report that State Treasurer Bobby Casey Jr. has decided to challenge Senator Rick Santorum. Casey is long considered the most formidable challenger to our junior Senator, and promises to be among the most highly-watched and costly races of the 2006 campaign cycle. Later this week, the Democratic leaders from the United States Senate will be in Philadelphia.

Sources also tell PoliticsPA that former Treasurer Barbara Hafer is also likely run. EMILY's List, the pro-choice women's PAC has pledged to support Hafer over Casey in the Democratic Primary.

I just read Zogby's Post '04 Election Report. Some interesting excerpts:

It is interesting to note that while the Democrats assembled a broad coalition in the congressional contests it did them no good. According to this Zogby post-election study, Democrats won 50 percent and 52 percent of the votes cast in the Senate and House contests respectively. But the structure of these races favored the Republicans. For example, GOP House incumbents - with lots of help from their governors and state legislators - drew district lines designed to protect their majorities.

I know this question sounds strange to most of the Kossacks but I want to think that he might not run for reelection in 06.

We know that Santorum have presidential aspirations. It is no news to anyone. What better way to run for president (for a sitting US Sentaor) than winning a reelection for a third term in a swing state?

True not to Kosacks but to the wonderful community over Democratic Underground.

I suspect most of you guys visit DU too, so you might check the 'thank you' posts there.

I hoped the campaign follow what regular democrats think and how they feel. It is a small comfort to know they really did.

G. W. Bush for US Ambassador in Iraq

Let's start a petition to send Bush as US Ambassador to Iraq after Kerry is sworn as the 44th president of USA.

This wil be the sweetest revenge I can think of. As Bush keeps saying things in Iraq are going great, let's send him there. I am sure the iraqi people will love to have him there. He might even be able to find the missing WMD.

I am ready to buy the domain name BushForUSAmbassadorInIraq.com, host it and make a good looking site of it.

What do you Kos-acks think of this?

Woo Hoo

This is some good news. Shows Kerry is confident and makes him look more presidential.

John F. Kerry's quest for the White House will probably end with an election-night event in Copley Square that could attract the huge crowds, security, and reporters reminiscent of the Democratic National Convention, while offering Bostonians a chance to witness history.

...

At the same time, Kerry has begun planning for a potential transition from candidate to president-elect. James A. Johnson, the Washington attorney and merchant banker who headed his search for a running mate, has been charged with planning for events should Kerry unseat President Bush.

...

Aides have said that Kerry would probably consider Johnson, the former head of the Fannie Mae home mortgage association, as treasury secretary should he be elected.

Bush: The Afghan people had elections this weekend. And the first voter was a 19-year-old woman. Think about that. Freedom is on the march.

Why no one in the media call him on this one? He is making facts, telling half truths and outright lies...

There were thousands of precincts in the Afghan elections. How would you know who voted first? You can't. It is simply not possible.

WASHINGTON - The National Rifle Association endorsed President Bush (news - web sites) for re-election on Wednesday, promising millions of dollars for ads, phone banks and other get-out-the-vote efforts.

"The Supreme Court is going to be crucial to the future of the Second Amendment, and President Bush will appoint justices that respect the Bill of Rights," NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre told The Associated Press in a phone interview before announcing the endorsement at a news conference in Duluth, Minn.

Bill Hemmer and his 'undecided group'?

They had this little gadgets with buttons on them that should measure viwer's emotions during the debate.

Hemmer said (and showed) the 2 biggest spikes was when Cheney spoke about gay marriage and when Edwards spoke about outsourcing. The average spike was about 2 points on these.

However what he didn't say is why Cheney's line was at 5 (jumped to 7) and Edwards's was at 7 (jumped to 9).

It will be interesting to see these lines for the whole debate. I suspect Edwards's performance rated at 6-7 on average for the whole of the debate, while Cheney's was at the middle of the scale.
