I’m not here a whole hell of alot but i tink all the people are great and kinda family. Sorry about your sudden loss. Like somebody said – ya never know what’s gonna happen when you get up in the morning. Events like this can help you appreciate life more, but myself, it usually wears off and I get back in the routine and take too much for granted.

Hang in.

How about we invite Cindy Sheehan,… for a fund-raising chat? Cindy probably has no chance, …

As you say Cindy probably has zero chance.

If Pelosi isn’t going to allow impeachment proceedings and if she were to step down her replacement wouldn’t either, then this Congress is hopeless.

The thing to do is focus on House races. We can fill the House with better Democrats!

Don’t fight incumbents, just replace ‘em where you can.

LHP–There is a wonderful Farmer’s Market just outside the Ferry Building in S.F. that would make a very interesting place for a table. (I live north of SF).

What do you true SF-ers think? Kirk? TSF?

Now That’s what I’m talkin’ about!!

That’s the spirit!

May I suggest a “Blackwater out of California” sub-theme — or are we just asking for impeachment?

Hi, Firepups-

I’m looking in from Marquette, Michigan briefly. Been away from any news since early Saturday. My Brother-in-Law just died without warning.

Wrote about it briefly on my blog.

We are numb with grief.

looseheadprop at #29, well that sounds promising, and I hope it works out well. I’m just so very worried that everything the Rethugs do is geared toward stealing another election.

Having Von Spakovshy get in the FEC with full Senate Approval will allow him to do nay dirty deed he chooses without press scrutitny.

It is only the controversy of a recess appointment that will get a spotlight on the FEC–I’m for it.

Maybe that’s why Obama is doing this? he doesn’t want to be the victim of a stolen elecion?

My thoughts exactly–at least the part of Obama not wanting to be robbed of a victory.

Anyone may join me in writing your Speaker of the House here:

Consider yourself in good–or at least my!–company

Maybe all the norcal peeps could dress up like table settings and demonstrate in front of Pelosi’s SF office.

Will the dish run away with the spoon?

The ill-smelling Giulianai-inspired plan to split the California electoral votes by district—robbing the Dems of their near-certain victory of the state—is now history, thanks to tough organizing at the grassroots state level:

They called themselves “The Lincoln Brigade.”

Even as Democrats feared having to spend as much as $40 million for a bruising, bloody fight expected to drag on for months, this makeshift group of California Democratic operatives needed just weeks to pummel a Republican-funded push for a ballot measure that threatened to change the outcome of the 2008 presidential election.

The ruthlessly effective battle plan of the California Democrats’ group raises the specter that, as the 2008 election looms, Republicans may have to confront a far more aggressive Democratic ground game that has revived the old “Clinton war room” philosophy.

“We need to fight back and not be reluctant – that if they come after you with a knife, to pull out a gun,” said California Democratic strategist Chris Lehane, former spokesman for President Bill Clinton’s White House and Vice President Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign.
