BROWN: And, finally, Dana, the Obama campaign released some family photos from election night, a pretty interesting peek, I thought, at a historic night.
MILBANK: Well, it did seem tantalizing at first.
But then you look through it. I became very suspicious. I think there's some Photoshopping going on. In not a single one of those photographs did you see a bottle of champagne or even a single glass of wine. And I believe this incoming first family would like us to believe that they were sipping Evian all night, and that's very difficult to swallow.
how does something like this make it to tv? on a supposed news channel?
a) who the fuck CARES whether barack and michelle had a glass of wine or champagne?
b) this opinion was based on what? NOTHING. made up from whole cloth. just some jerk who though it was odd that the pres elect didn't have alchohol on election night, so he suggested that the obama campaign doctored photos to hide it. jesus!
c) the man had been up and going full speed for how long? and knew he was going to have to address the nation - 200k of them in person - in the wee hours of the morning. plus having 2 children also being kept up in the wee hours. i mean, i'm a heavy fucking drinker, on the edge of alcoholism perhaps, and I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD A DRINK IN THAT SITUATION.
ok, maybe it's not such a big deal. except, news anchors just get to MAKE SHIT UP and accuse the new president of the u.s. of LYING and DOCTORING PHOTOS just for fun?
i mean, damn. just damn.

This guy:
Uncounted Votes May Push Begich Past Stevens
Although Ted Stevens currently holds a lead of approximately 3,200 votes in ballots counted to date in Alaska's senate contest, there is good reason to believe that the ballots yet to be counted -- the vast majority of which are early and absentee ballots -- will allow Mark Begich to mitigate his disadvantage with Stevens and quite possibly pull ahead of him.
The reasoning behind this is simple: some early ballots have been processed, and among those ballots Begich substantially leads Stevens. A tally of Alaska's 40 house districts as taken from Alaska's Division of Elections webpage suggests that Begich has won about 61% of the early ballots counted so far, as compared with 48% of ballots cast on Election Day itself.

I was compelled on more than one occasion to attend these things while in uniform.
It was an expected "social/show the leadership" sort of thing.
The content of the prayers were universally bland and "deistic", as to assure Catholic, Protestant, and the occasional Jew and Muslim that all was well.
The Army in the 80's had a handful of Jewish Chaplains, and I had the fortune of being in the "flock", if you will, of one of them.

Noted over at Digby's place:
The right doesn't have to "do" anything, I imagine is the consensus. All the structures of an opposition movement already exist, they just have to turn on the switch and sit back and wait.
Now, the question is whether our side has learned anything from 1993-94, or not.
Pretty much sums it up, I think. Obama has a stronger hand than Clinton ever had, but he still has to face the DLC wing of the party, who will try to subvert any attempt that even sniffs of progressive.

Critics serve a very useful service-- they sit thorugh lots of shit, tell us what they like and don't like. You get to know a critic, you can start judging things through their eyes== not taking them as gospel, simply taking their opinion into consideration.
Like if John the brewer I know says I should try the Hop Mess, I try it. If some random guy at the bar says I should try some beer, I won't listen as much.

I'm not finding anything in the news that says he has. There are lots of article, though, that say Dodd says Obama will "save Lieberman."
masculine_monica_nyc
I'd like to think that the saving of Lieberman goes sorta like the last scene with Michael Corleone and Carlo, when Michael tells Carlo, "You have to answer for Santino," and gives Carlo a ticket to Vegas. And Carlo thinks he's gonna be OK after all.
Of course, Clemenza is waiting in the car with the garrote...

My winger Auntie about had apoplexy when she saw the pic of Obama and his advisors. "Oh, that dreadful Bonior, and PODESTA! It's a bunch of Clintonites!"

no one was more surprised than i. believe me. i had visions of her wearing coveralls and work boots when she was born. she just flat out wouldn't do it. "I'm a girl. Girls wear dresses." From about age two. It's quite common.

Palin and Africa, Etc. [Rich Lowry]
I talked to Steve Biegun, the former Bush NSC aid who briefed Sarah Palin on foreign policy, and he considers the leaks against her on the international stuff "absurd."
He says there's no way she didn't know Africa was a continent, and whoever is saying she didn't must be distorting "a fumble of words." He talked to her about all manner of issues relating to Africa, from failed states to the Sudan. She was aware from the beginning of the conflict in Darfur, which is followed closely in evangelical churches, and was aware of Clinton's AIDS initiative. That basically makes it impossible that she thought all of Africa was a country.
Bullshit, Lowry. Why did she say that Mandela was once the "King of Africa"?

any smart person avoids having pictures taken of them imbibing. It is fine to do, but in pictures it is sort of tacky, and doesnt reflect well.

From TPM:
An Associated Press analysis of the nearly 25,000-vote difference in Minnesota presidential and U.S. Senate race tallies shows that most ballots lacking a recorded Senate vote were cast in counties won by Democrat Barack Obama.
