Solomon is just doing his damndest to try to pretend that Mister College Republican President is bipartisan.

Seems that she is always getting on an airplane- and then she comes back- and nothing is ever different- but maybe I’m forgetting something.

Not turn the BIG stick over to someone who’ll club us with it as if we were baby seals.

OT, but I would suggest that the “netroots” spend 2007 raising money for the House Progressive Caucus funds (or whatever its called) with the understanding that the money be spent solely for “progressive” candidates challenging GOP incumbents. In other words, empower House progressives to fund the takeover of the DCCC by progressives in 2008 or 2010 — however long it takes.

One of the things that really disgusted me about Rahm was how he abandoned Democratic primary winner who beat “his” candidate — a couple of them managed to win (shea-porter, McNerny) but if I were a progressive thinking about running, I’d think twice about it knowing that Rahm might decide to back someone else, and not support me when I beat his designated candidate. That’s why a fund controlled by the Progressive House Caucus would come into play — it tells grassroots candidates that they don’t NEED Rahm….

That we finally can afford our own health care seems to be the underlying principle.

That we can also compile DVD’s of our almost lost languages is beyond contemplation.

Simple analysis: BLACK JACK!

The other thing about money from tribes and legislation for tribes. AZ has 21 individual tribes with distinct reservations. In AZ, casinos have to be on the already established reservation land. Western states such as AZ, NM, NV all have large reservation land.

Congressmen & Senators who have tribal lands within their states and districts, who are advocating for laws and funds for the very tribes are supporting their constituents.

Carville: Dean’s leadership “Rumsfeldian”

James Carville’s plan to replace Howard Dean with failed Senate candidate Harold Ford, Jr. may have failed, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped the former Clinton strategist’s campaign against the DNC chair.

Today, Carville is off telling reporters that Dean’s leadership is “Rumsfeldian in its competence,” and that if Dean had just listened to the often-abrasive southerner and spent $6 million the DNC had on hand then the Democrats could have picked up as many as 50 House seats, roughly 20 more than they’ve won to date. And yes, Carville still wants to see Dean replaced.

My reply to the Austin Statesman which ran the story today. They didn’t publish it:

Dean’s 50-state strategy was patient, brilliant, and obviously paid off. It was the political equivalent of a royal flush, in spades. As for Carville, he is by his own admission mentally unbalanced, and who proudly claims to sleep with the enemy.

Carville has been completely off the farm since he called up his wife in the White House on November 8th, 2004 and told her Kerry was going to demand a recount in Ohio. His wife, Bush campaign manager Mary Matalin, kindly took that information to the team, which promptly got Ohio state election commissioner Ken Blackwell on the phone and told him to stonewall.

I’d love to compare Carville’s special brand of incompetence to Rumsfeld’s, but Carville is too much like Benedict Arnold. Don’t get me wrong, Carville is no slouch when it comes to incompetence, but being a turncoat trumps that. Too bad he doesn’t even have the self-honesty to admit it. Like Arnold, the fleeing Carville will eventually be apprehended. I see he’s prepared to be shot for treason, since he’s already wearing his blindfold.
