The media and the blogs are abuzz today with the fact that Senator John Kerry has endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President. Honestly, there has never been any doubt in my mind, for months now that Kerry would endorse Obama.

It's day two of the Petraeus follies on Capitol Hill. General Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this morning to once again discuss the "progress report on the war in Iraq and explain a new military plan to withdraw the 30,000 reinforcements sent there earlier this year to improve security."

The new Iraq spending bill is making waves and Chris Bowers on MYDD has the new video from Chris Dodd up that explains why Dodd is voting "NO" on the bill. Bowers said, "It will be interesting to see if there is a chorus of Democrats who start to join him on this." Meteor Blades on DKos reports that "nearly a two-thirds majority, will vote against the egregious Iraq funding "compromise" put together by the Senate-House conference committee."

Here's one Senator who will be joining Dodd with a "NO" vote. Personally, I had no reason to think that Kerry would support the new plan...

Senate Dems are putting pressure on Pakistan and threatening to "withhold delivery of jet fighter planes to Pakistan if it does not intensify its campaign against terrorists."

At stake is the long-delayed sale of 18 new jet fighters, an opportunity to buy 18 more and refurbishing 34 used aircraft already in Pakistan's air force arsenal.

Although the Bush administration has already "opposed an even tougher move in the House," yesterday, Senators John Kerry, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden introduced a resolution "expressing that U.S. military assistance to Pakistan should correlate to that country’s success in countering al Qaeda and the Taliban."

Okay, let's put the controversy over the Kerry photo in Iraq to bed once and for all. The right wing blogs have had a heyday over this photo which originated from Ben of Mesopotamia, for days and as I have pointed out here in two posts (here and here), it's nothing but the typical hype and lies from the right wing blogs.

John Kerry threw down the gauntlet last night in NH and those who watched his speech at NH's Jefferson Jackson Dinner know exactly what I am talking about. The speaker was on fire, the crowd was couldn't get enough, the standing ovations just kept on coming. John Kerry fired away at the Bush administration and the GOP right out of the gate last night... "A lie, a lie, a lie, a lie. What we have in Washington is a house of lies, and in November, we need to clean house." Read More

Cross posted from The Democratic Daily:

Early this morning, the U.S. Congress approved Senator John Kerry's legislation calling for a summit of Iraq and its neighbors to arrive at a political solution to the growing civil war in Iraq. The legislation is part of John Kerry's plan to force Iraqis to stand up for Iraq and bring American troops home, it was passed as part of the Defense Authorization bill. Given the news from Iraq today that Baghdad is under curfew over a suspected suicide bombing plot, it's clear the situation in Iraq is continuing to spiral downward. We simply can not continue to 'stay the course.'

John Kerry is turning up the heat with some allegations of election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004 -- Ken Blackwell.

In his latest fundraising effort for fellow Democrats, an e-mail will be sent on Tuesday to 100,000 Democratic donors asking them to support U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland for governor of Ohio.

Originally posted on The Democratic Daily:

A recurring theme in the liberal blogosphere is to note the propensity of the MSM to allow the Republican Noise Machine to control the message in the media. In Lapdogs, Eric Boehlert demonstrated clearly that "the news media have utterly failed in their duty as watchdog for the public."

An instance of this was seen clearly during the conference call with John Kerry and Patrick Murphy, a week ago Friday, when Jonathan Kaplan of The Hill asked Patrick Murphy, "Do you think Ned Lamont's victory in Connecticut hurts or helps your chances of defeating the GOP incumbent?"

Cross posted from The Democratic Daily:

The NY Times reports today that Democrats are "seeking to energize voters over economic issues" in ways similar to the ways that Republicans have rallied conservative voters with their "efforts to ban same-sex marriage." Democratic members of Congress have "begun a broad campaign to raise the minimum wage and focus attention on income inequality." Their argument is "straightforward: it has been more than eight years since Congress last raised the minimum wage, to $5.15 an hour, and inflation has reduced its real value to the lowest level in more than 20 years."

As I noted on the Dem Daily last night, this week, John Kerry will be introducing an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill that will "redeploy U.S. combat troops out of Iraq by the end of 2006." Kerry believes that "It's time for Iraqis to stand up for Iraq." The time to act is now. Everyone long opposed to this war based on lies should be calling their Senators now! Read More
