The long and short of it. The numbers in the outstanding precincts conclusively prove that Webb wins the unofficial count. Stick a fork in it. Read More

... then check out this ad being run by a group called Majority Action against freshman Rep. Thelma Drake (R) in Virginia's 2nd congressional district. It is on stem cell research which, along with minimum wage increases, are the two issues Democrats nationwide can beat over the heads of Republicans.

For background, Virginia Beach Commissioner or Revenue Phil Kellam (D) is running to unseat Rep. Thelma Drake (R) in a fairly red southern Virginia district (more partisan (R) than Francine Busby's CA-50) which includes parts of Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world. Nevertheless, Kellam is ahead in virtually every poll (at least due in part that Virginia Beach, his home base, makes up almost the entire district), and Chris Bowers at MyDD rates it a pure toss-up as does Novak. This ad should help Kellam recover some lost ground on the since debunked story of him beating a woman in a drunken stupor.

According to their website, the ad is also being run in the Indiana 2nd against Rep. Chris Chocola (R), Pennsylvania 10th against Rep. Don Sherwood (R), and New York 25th against Rep. Jim Walsh (R).

IT HAS HAPPENED.

We knew Sen. George Allen (R) ("Georgie") hired Chris LaCivita for a reason. You remember Chris. He, along with Bush New England campaign chair James Tobin, engineered the jamming of GOTV phones operated by New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D) in her 2002 senatorial bid. One person is already in jail. Tobin will follow soon. But no matter. Sen. John Sununu (R) won a close race. And winning is all that matters.

Chris was also involved with the Swiftboat Veterans for the Truth. Yes, those Swiftboat Veterans. My use of Swiftboating here is not just an attempt to rile people up to call you to action. It actually is Swiftboating by a Swiftboater.

Yes, you heard correct. Sir Charles Barkley, him of the Auburn, 76ers, Suns, and Dream Team (and accidentally spitting on an 8-year old girl at the Barcelona Olympics) basketball fame, will be running for Governor of the great state of Alabama in 2010... and as a Democrat!

For the longest time, Sir Charles was a Republican because, to paraphrase him, "I'm rich! Why would I vote Democrat?"

However, like many before, it seems Sir Charles has seen the light. The money quote:

"Barkley told the AP he switched political parties because Republicans have 'lost their minds.'"

Amen.

This is my first diary, so apologies if it comes out weird, but let me have the criticism anyway. Only way I can grow right?

I feel I need to preface this all with context so you can judge where all this is coming from and adjust your b.s. lens accordingly.

I attended my first DFA meeting in Arlington today (Monday, March 13th). I went because the speaker was James Webb. I had read up on him and my gut was to work for his campaign, but I thought that this was a good way to see the man to make sure I knew what I was buying.

While I am well read, I am a neophyte in actual grassroots campaigning politics, so I didn't know what to expect. From the meeting, however, I was very impressed with him, and believe that he would be a honest, solid, progressive (yes, progressive) voice for the Democratic Party in the Senate. Read More
