btw, i got a freaky email from Steve O. What are the odds that Lieberman’s main opponent got the same number of votes in 2000 and 2006?

Exactly zero.

I thought the vote would be much closer. I got the vote counts for my polling place and Leiberman was only about 100 votes ahead out of about 4,000 votes – and it was a predominantly Republican and Unaffiliated community.

Also the vote counts were extremely low in cities where they should have been much higher – particularly considering the GOTV effort.

i’m reading the interview in radar with hagarrd’s lover and came up to this;

Was Reverend Haggard kinky in bed?
I’m not going to comment too much on kinkiness, but I can say that he certainly did enjoy having sex with me.

Would you call him vanilla?
Well, for the most part, I would use the term vanilla. But I guess every once in a while you could throw some chocolate in.

somebody tell me hwat this vanilla and chocolate thing is alluding to please

Dean says no impeachment of Bush. Pelosi has said no impeachment. Now, Conyers say no impeachment. Why?

I’d rather see the war get addressed, along with healthcare and global warming/energy independence. I want long-term solutions to major issues that will impact the future. Believe me I would love to see him impeached, I just believe there are bigger issues to be addressed.

Also, in the game of politics, impeachment will give the Repugs a rally call to regroup. If the Democrats focus on hearing and exposing the corruption and start providing solutions that all Americans can see, there is no way that can be spun as political retribution. It will further weaken the Repugs in the long term.

These are not mutually exclusive. In fact it is more effective to let necessary investigations expose the corruption and let the public demand and the laws dictate impeachment. It allows our representatives to remain above the fray until critical mass is reached.

cbl – Thanks for the pictures. Yes, that is the one. I really did gag when I saw it. Rummy, Joey and Cheeks — sitting together planning their next move. And it will be a doozy. McCain is going to pick Joey to be his VP.

Some guys never learn.

If Cheney resigns, his replacement has to be confirmed by both the House and Senate. There are many ambitious Republican Senators, and Senator allies of other ambitious Republicans, who want to run for President. They wouldn’t want to give McCain (or anyone else) a leg up by confirming him as a VP replacement for Cheney. And Dems, who have the majority in both Houses, also have no interest in giving a powerful opponent the VP post. (Deferential Senatorial decorum could be maintained by having the House reject McCain.) If Cheney goes, his replacement will be someone nobody sees as a potential presidential threat.

For this reason, Cheney won’t resign; and if he does, his replacement will be someone you’ve never heard of with about half of Cheney’s charisma.

Oh and Prof–it’s important to be ostentatious about it. Everyone in town needs to know you’re having the meetings. The KGB used to pick out a few CIA agents they had detected, and fire up their transmitters every time they came nearby. They were trying to make the “chatter-watchers” see that pattern and assume that those agents were double-agents receiving KGB instructions.

mccain is the the next in line, he’s pretty much the only chance of reclaiming the republican constituents who have jumped ship.

if they want a ahot at o8, it will be mccain

Dean says no impeachment of Bush. Pelosi has said no impeachment. Now, Conyers say no impeachment. Why?

Because it sucks all the oxygen out of politics. We have to get out of Iraq and clean up the government. If impeachment happens to come up during war profiteering hearings, ok, but it can’t be the #1 priority.

Two more words: Dick Cheney. While theoretically we could impeach him as well, it would be logistically very difficult. They would each have to have separate hearings, trials, etc. and what if Bush were actually removed before Cheney? We’d have a very pissed off dying man with bad aim and nukes in the White House.

Investigate and perform oversight responsibilities. Go where the documents lead you. Use the power of the purse.

Change the course in Iraq. Plug the medicare donut hole. Pass a healthcare bill that covers all children. Pass stem cell research.

Work on the people’s business.
