Anonymous automated fundraising calls are going out that start with the President's voice; another voice then asks for a donation to support for tighter gun regulation, and promises to send you a Sandy Hook memorial bracelet. These automated recordings never identifies a source. I'm 99.999% sure they're a scam. Heads up on this, in case you get such a call. If you support stronger gun control, donate to a legitimate organization; or if you choose, Obama's new Organizing for Action.

51 votes for reconciliation? Where?

I admire the hard work and commitment of all the folks here (like nyceve) who've been fighting for reconciliation on healthcare. But I don't see 51 votes right now. If you do, show me where I'm wrong!

There are now 59 members of the Democratic caucus. By my count, the following will vote against reconciliation: most of them are actually on record opposing it...

Wes Clark, a leader many of us admire, and an Arkansas native, has sent an email fundraising letter on behalf of conservative Arkansas Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln. (If you didn’t receive it, you can see it at Clark’s PAC, http://securingamerica.com ...)

With evidently SOME folks taking a look at voting for McCain and Palin against their self-interests, it's worth stepping back and reminding them that McCain and Palin have offered absolutely nothing for the middle class. So, below the fold, here's my amateur YouTube commercial to try to make the point.

According to ABC News:

Republican candidate former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark., has nabbed GOP insider Ed Rollins to serve a national campaign chairman.

Huge blunder...

OK, I admit it. I'm a baseball card collector. Have been since I was 8. That's 42 years. Nowadays, every March, when the new cards come out, I go over to eBay and buy myself a new set. It's a rite of spring for me. A big deal. Well, this year, I go over to eBay, but something's wrong... First of all, the sets are more expensive... and people are selling them without the Jeter card. I do a little nosing around, and what do you imagine has happened...?

The era of the political demonstration is back. The immigrants' rallies are a harbinger: they've proven that demonstrations, done right, can be powerfully relevant again. But we now need to prepare for something far bigger.

It is now clear that George Bush plans to attack Iran, most likely before Election Day, and quite possibly with tactical nuclear weapons. Early this fall, we will need to get out into the streets for the largest peaceful anti-war demonstrations in American history. Given the horror of what's in store, we have no choice.

And we can do it. The largest anti-Vietnam war rallies brought together roughly half a million people. We can run rallies all over the country, and bring together 20,000,000 people to stop this. Read More

Last summer, I sat down to write an essay evaluating George W. Bush as a leader. My goal: to reach beyond the usual anti-Bush base, and make a case that enlightened corporate managers or executives might appreciate. Then, Hurricane Katrina happened, and Bush's incompetence became so self-evident that any attempt to write about it seemed redundant. But Bush and Rove continue to survive; in fact their polls have ticked upwards. So I've hauled this essay out of the deep freeze, and polished it off. The point: that, even politics aside, the man is simply a catastrophe as a leader.

Essay after the fold...

So where do we go from here? We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start again -- smarter, more focused, more effective, and as unified as we were on Monday. Here are the beginnings of some thoughts on what we need to do.

I'd like to see what the Kos community thinks Kerry should say in Debate #1, and how he should say it. My thoughts follow, but I think he has to start off by making it clear why it's important to hold a President -- any President -- accountable. If one thing's become obvious, it's this: millions of people really don't understand what's involved in a vital, well-functioning democracy: Kerry needs to take a moment to tell them... Otherwise he'll be seen as strident and negative, and Bush can coast to victory looking Presidential... Read More
