Welcome! Welcome to our second edition of Daily Dose, a random roundup of videos, blog posts, news articles, bits and pieces on the web.
Lots of goodies overleaf. Follow me!
We start today's edition with a shout to HillarySpeaksForMe. Here is a snazy video from that site:
Today's roundup should of course include last night's SNL:
Debate clip:
Another video from HillarySpeaksforMe:
A roundup of articles and blogs should start with this piece from Paul Krugman at New York Times.
A shout to an old Kossack (goldberry) over at The Confluence: SUNday, SUNday, SUNday!
A shout to NoQuarter for pretty much every post.
A shout to TalkLeft. As usual, Big Tent Democrat keeps bloggers honest. BTD also writes on Electability And The 50 State Strategy. Don't miss Jeralyn's post: Bush Moves to Deport Legal Resident Acquitted in Terror Case.
At the Left Coaster, eriposte has a post (rhymes, doesn't it) on press coverage and Sunday funnies, including the video of Hillary on her campaign plane talking about SNL sketch (very good). Take a look.
Taylor Marsh has a magnificent guest post by Joe Wilson: Obama's Hollow 'Judgment' and Empty Record. (Also at NoQuarter.) About AUMF vote:
I was involved in that debate in every step of the effort to prevent this senseless war and I profoundly resent Obama's distortion of George Bush's folly into Hillary Clinton's responsibility. I was in the middle of the debate in Washington. Obama wasn't there.
Also:
What should we make of Obama's other judgments in foreign affairs? Take Afghanistan, for example. It has been evident for some time that our efforts there are going badly and that cooperation and support from our NATO allies would be helpful.As chairman of the subcommittee on Senate Foreign Relations responsible for NATO and Europe, Obama could have used his lofty position actually to engage the issue and pressure the administration to take some action to improve our chance of success in that conflict against the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Of course, that would have involved holding hearings, questioning administration witnesses, and taking a position and offering alternatives. That is what we expect that from senators in a democracy. It is called oversight.
(note: for those people who like to start bashing Taylor Marsh in the comments, you may save yourself time by looking herefirst. Thank you.)
Yet another post from the same place: Flag Officers Make the Case for Hillary Clinton as Commander-in-Chief. Quote:
During a conference call with the Clinton campaign just now, moderated by Clinton's National Security Director Lee Feinstein (with Howard Wolfson), flag officer after flag officer offered their unqualified endorsements of Hillary Clinton for Commander-in-Chief. It was one testimony after another from these fine career military men and women who know first hand what it takes to be the boss.
And: Ohio Union Officials have Questions for Obama
Finally, from mydd: If It's Meet The Press, It's Sexist?
A bold prediction: There will be a huge media offensive tomorrow over some BOGUS story which will put Hillary Clinton in a bad light. How do I know that? Tomorrow, Rezko's trial starts. The media is bound to address it somewhat. Expect Obama camp to come up with a distracting story. They have done that each time.

Please post any more good tid bits that you find around the web in the comments. Examples of Clinton Derangement Syndrome are also welcome.
Update: Thanks to Pacific John, another great video, from El Paso in the great state of Texas:

The author frequently has pulled his/her hair out in frustration when seeing the treatment that competent, intelligent, caring candidates such as Al Gore and Hillary Clinton have received in the hands of American media.)
