I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but thou smellest like a concern troll.

Uh, thanks, but I’m not. That is, if I get what a “concern troll” is. I’m just a regular FDL reader who doesn’t understand why I’m suddenly reading incomprehensible infighting messages a week before the elections.

You really need to get over yourself, Jane. Name one man who works harder on behalf on the party than Rahm. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Howard Dean.

AAAAMEN, sister! Howard Dean, I’ll second that.

4. This post was necessary; it is protecting the movement. Folks like Howie (and Jane/Christy and indirectly, ultimately we) deserve a lot of credit for creating the conditions in which Dems can do much better than they ever expected. And a lot better than the Dem leadership could have done without our effort. It’s time for them to say, “thanks.” Anytime someone tries to spin this to trivialize that effort, and what it means, we have to respond. Jane has been very courageous about being on point in this fight; it’s not fun, and we should cover her back.

We are still moving forward; we still have a good shot at the whole thing. And we can pull this off. The Republicans are one day closer to losing one-party rule. Stay together.

I got this from Jerry McNerney tonight, speaking of thanks:

I don’t know how I can possibly express to you the
depth of my appreciation for what you just did for
our campaign. As of midnight last night, you have
contributed over $275,000 in the last five days –
more than we raised during the entire primary
election cycle!

Your grassroots and netroots contributions are
driving us forward at the most crucial moment of the
campaign. Believe it or not, over the first 18 days
of October, we outraised Richard Pombo. We did
it despite George W. Bush raising over $400,000 for
Pombo on Oct. 3 and with 98% of our contributions
coming from individuals! Pombo still has three
times as much money to spend on ridiculous TV attack
ads, but we’re closing the financial gap thanks to
your generosity.

I’ve heard it said that dems have no plans to help the economy. Jerry does. He wants to turn his district into the Silicon Valley of alternative energy. This letter indicates to me that he is NOT beholden to special interests. GO, JERRY!

Lieberman has made a statement condemning John Kerry’s misstatement.

And the Dems are going to welcome this asshat back with open arms????

Oh my – I am sitting in the computer room listening to ole’ Wolfie on CNN interviewing Charley Rangel. And the first question is about something Cheney wrote in the newspapers.

charlie responds by saying (from my feeble memory) that cheney is his friend but he once asked someone in the audience to perform a ’sexual act on himself.’ Ohdearohdear

I am assuming that this refers to the F88k You comments by the old buzzard. I think the earth hesitated there for a moment.

Cheney made a remark about Charlie not knowing how the economy works.Charlie called him a Son of a Bitch.

I love it.

I love it too, although to be more on top of recent events it might have been even better (and more accurate!) to call him a Husband of a Bitch.

I actually know nothing about Dick Cheney’s mother. But his vapor-suffering, melodramatic Marie-Antoinette-arrogant WIFE is on display for all the world to see.

AZ – 05 – Hayworth vs. Mitchell was also included in Cooks upgrage to tossup.

Many Republicans all over the state have been throwing Hayworth under the bus. The AZ Republic(ian) endorsed Mitchell calling Hayworth a bully and former Att. Grant Woods (R) is doing robo calls for Mitchell pretty much saying that Hayworth lies.

This is a surprise to me. I watched one of their debates about a week and a half ago and Hayworth was mopping the floor with his two opponents (despite the fact he comes across somewhat clownish). If the Dem in that race (Mitchell) is in the race it indicates a very strong Dem wave across the country.

Woo hoo!

1. Can we all sign a petition to Kerry asking him not to run for President until he learns to deliver a punch line.

2. My guess is we will survive the Kerry kerfuffle, notwithstanding the Bush/McCain effort to cast Kerry/Dems/liberals as disrepectful. The press was distracted because Kerry carelessly made himself the issue, but the media are getting back on Iraq. But we lost a night in which Iraq would have been the lead story again, instead of # 2 or 3. Kerry may not owe the troops an apology, but he owes us one.

3. Jane has been challenged, insulted, defended, provoked and even proposed to tonight. Just another day at the office, eh Jane? Give the Lady a break.

This may well be the most hope-inspiring thing I have heard about the possible election results:

Shredding Crew Arrives at Cheney Compound.

What was that about Rove and the Preznint’s sunny optimism? Are they just destroying all remaindered copies of Sisters?

Almost as wonderful is the fact that the truck was photo’d … usable as editorial replies, photo-op backdrops, campaign handouts, calling cards at OVP … Dick Cheney giving you guff? Just pat your foot while tapping a copy of that shot in the same rhythm.

Ok show of hands. How many of you have already eaten some of the Halloween candy that is supposed to be for the kids trick or treating?
