The Biden pick is terrific and it kills Romney and any other Gooper VP who has thebig bucks and is a legacy.
If you were listening carefully what got highlighted here by Ob and Biden was that two up-by-the-bootstrap senators, two self-made men, are running against a legacy who married an heiress.
the foreign policy thing is important but the theme of the campaign is about the economy and who understands your economic fears. Both Biden and Obama have life stories that include single-parent families. Both are self made and, in the rarified world of the Senate and national politics, can claim to be part of what Krugman would call lower Richistan. While McCain and his likeliest runnymate--Romney--are from upper Richistan.
the GOOPERs will try to claim this is class warfare as they always do, but the goal of this ticket is to make it clear that Americans are not better off now than in 2000, that there is a recession, an unended war and that economic policy has been skewed to the richest of the rich.
That is the narrative of the Obama/Biden ticket.

What we have learned this summer is this: McCain’s trigger-happy temperament and reactionary policies offer worse than no change. He is an unstable bridge back not just to Bush policies but to an increasingly distant 20th-century America that is still fighting Red China in Vietnam and the Soviet Union in the cold war. As the country tries to navigate the fast-moving changes of the 21st century, McCain would put America on hold.

I'd certainly challenge that. Cheney was always a right-wing wacko--ideology always counted more than the facts to him, and Rummy, for all the talk, had very, very little time in places where foreign policy knowledge counted. He spent about a year as Sec. of Defense under Ford, most of which he spent trying to foist the views of Team B on the rest of the Pentagon and the public. After that, he was out of government for almost twenty-five years, except for a few secret trips to Iraq to kiss Hussein's ass, and his annual secret COG drills with Cheney.
They were just ideologues, not experts. There's a critical difference.

North Vietnam was an ally of the Soviet Union.

Yes, when you make regular thick french fries you must blanch them first. But if you slice them thin you don't. Hey, what do you have to lose, try it.
Here's another. You know the potato peeler you use. Well, over a skillet with 1 1/2 inches of hot oil. use the potato peeler and just take of thin slices of the potato into the skillet. Move around so you wind up with a layer of thin potato slices floating on the oil. Then use forks to separate the slices. Homemade potato chips. They are fantastic. You can even, if you make them well done, I like them not so well done, with a little white in them, put them in a container and they will keep for almost a week.

All quite true. It was one of those myths that was replayed constantly by the Birchers and the far right who were still trying to fight Korea. There had been border wars between the Chinese and the Vietnamese for perhaps a thousand years. No love lost between the two countries for a long, long time. China did supply a little support at times, but, it was minimal and sporadic.

Your right. I confess. And after reading the shitty lockstep attitudes here I can't believe this is supposed to be a "liberal" blog. I guess it's just a Democratic party blog instead.

And we don't even call it "torture..."

I'm of the opinion that the PUMA's were always republican, and were just hoping to get Hillary because they knew the vehemence and hatred of the Clintons would cause a lot of excitement and get otherwise disillusioned republicans out to vote against Hillary.
The more they continue to ludicrously support and endorse McCain, the more I am sure that they were nothing but trouble makers to begin with.

True. I don't see Biden pulling an Edwards and not going after who ever he debates.

Great idea. Rational and calm are the key words, and the PUMAs are neither.
The PUMAs remind me of the deserting coward, stomping their widdle feetsies if they don't get their way.

People were talking about Romney as an "effective attack dog". I guess if your audience is a roomful of K-Los, he's very "effective", but he always struck me as a halfwit.

We're in lockstep because we pretty much all agree that an Obama administration would be infinitely preferable to 4 more years of this execrable soft-serve fascism, with the near certainty of a Roe-V-Wade overturn and a SCOTUS that will be stacked against us for a generation? That's lockstep? If you are liberal, that is the only rational position there is.

I was a big HRC supporter as well.
But then she (or her campaign) started giving quotes that I knew McBombBomb and his slime machine were going to use to attack Obama and she fucking lost me.
She lost.
I got over it.
I think even Hillary has gotten over it.

It's not a liberal blog and it's not even really a political blog anymore. It's a meet-up blog for jet set Democrats.

Considering that you basically have to be crazy to be one, I think that's a good guess. It's not like there was even ever much daylight between the two of them policy-wise. They just pandered emptily to different constituencies.

We'll see in a few days just how many PUMAs there really are. I'm guessing the Denver PD is not going to have very many heads to break.

Once one has the drill down, I don't think it takes a PhD to buy companies, strip `em bare, take the profits and sell `em, especially if you're working on Dad's money to begin with.
The Mittster won't be able to keep his Richistan attitudes out of the conversation. Unfortunately, the Villagers will see that as an asset.
The problem for McCain is that he needs someone perceived as stable and dependable to offset his hothead reputation, and there just aren't any of those among the Repug front-runners.
They're all wackos, in one way or another.

The thing about Biden is that he has spent one hell of a lot of time talking on the teebee. He's a friggin' fixture on the bobblehedz. They play up various dumbass things he has said, but if you work it out to dumbass statements/teebee hour, he's really pretty good.

The sex talk usually doesn't start until around nine or so.
------------ Todays republicans view Nixon as a weakling. Their resigning days are over...
Think on that

Today's Republicans "getting elected" days are over. And they were roght about Nixon. He was a weakling, but show me a Republican who isn't and I'll let you sleep with my puma.

We try and we fail. We long for the heavens and sometimes, but very rarely, we obtain them. Heaven isn't some distant, far away, unobtainable goal. Heaven is all around us. Just breathe. Just walk across a meadow. Heaven was always there. Pray and heaven is there.

If the neighbors are no fun and too puritanical maybe you can rent an Andy Garcia movie..."Things to do in Denver when you're Dead."
Or if apropos, M. Night Shyamalan's The village...which sucks so badly you should be asleep in no time.

Don't count on it. Utah Democrats are mostly folks who are in the equivalent of their exploratory phase.
Most of the best high school/college parties I attended were hosted by Mormons or ex-Mormons.

These are Utah Democrats, who are therefore probably not LDS, so this is their big chance to party in a way they can't do at home. It might be party central after all.

Don't be naive
Oh, please. Insofar as a stereotype of Utah as party-repressed is accurate, the Utah delegation is going to have major party time to make up during their sojourn in the fleshpots of Denver. Their respite in the Sin City will be brief, so expect them to make up in low quality what they lack for in quantity of time.

Careful Duncan. Several of us with the Utah delegation read your blog.
We're Utah Democrats - there would be no way to maintain sanity without alcolhol (at least).
And we didn't even see you in the hotel bar.

I know its fun to make fun of the Mormons and all but I lived in Utah for years and none of the Dems I knew were LDS. You should hook up with Jon and Wendy and have a drink.
