Congratulations to Donna, and thanks to Jane and Howie.
Raising glass to Rahm, Pelosi, and the esteemed head of NARAL, Nancy Keenan.
Bitchez!
I believe the people of MD-04 have said no no, you’re not the one for me.
gonna be interesting watching them forkers try to spin this as their forking win.
Congrats to everyone involved, well done!
Great song. The first time I heard it I asked “who is this?” There aren’t many artists that grab my attention like that.
Imagine Ms. Edwards entering the house chamber for the first time, and Rahm slithering up to make nice…
New day.
Time to primary Rahm.
you’ve probably heard this by her too
this is my fav kt song at the moment
Garlic and Holy water baby.
busted, what’s the latest about the r’s up there in the great state of wa?
Hi Suzanne…
garlic and holy water made me think of them.
hey biodun - how goes it?
I’d heard the song but never seen the video. Thanks, Suz!
So, here we are. If Hillary is behind by 10 to 20 delegates, her machine will try to make that up with “super delegates.” But if she is down by 100 or 200, then what?
ding
mary, are ya gonna be able to make it to the meetup?
I have my strat hooked up playing with her Yahoo
I’m cool..
speaking of the meetup, i forgot to say in the comments Sat nite that anyone wanting to attend but not on facebook - please email me at ten67x at google’s mail (gmail) (but with the dot com)
Much rending of garments and gnashing of teeth, keening and wailing.
Actually, I really don’t know, i did see something about some Repub jackass calling off the count and declaring McCain the winner with the predictable, typical screaming for a recount and all kinds of finger pointing and tinfoil hat adjusting.
I will have to follow up on it tomorrow.
*G*
i love how she records the yahoo’s and other sounds while performing and then loops them back, activating all the accompanying by clicking the switchs with those kick ass boots on.
Back to bed for me. Later, pups.
*TOW goes to sleep happy, knowing Donna Edwards is in da House!!*
Ahem.
sleep well tow and hoping you continue feeling better
Nyquil TOW.
Edwards 60%
Wynn 36%
Precincts 62%
Good Night Firepups!
g’nite sandman and thanks for the update.
Wait, isn’t the Sandman supposed to put everyone else to sleep?
Gnite Sandman, bring me a dream….
Here is an Article by Scott Horton @ Harper’s magazine on that debacle in the Washington state GOPers event:
http://harpers.org/archive/2008/02/hbc-90002367
they are real wieners up there and sure don’t like ordinary people!
I’m trying to find a link to the Republican exit polls. We know that a substantial number of Independents participated in the Democratic Virginia Primary (about 20% of the total). The question is, did the Republicans attract more?
I can only infer from this
“Virginia Democratic primary voters who did not identify themselves as Democrats were more likely to back Barack Obama, according to exit polls.
One out of every five Democratic primary voters were independent — and those voters chose Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, 67 to 32 percent. Seven percent of the voters in that contest were Republican voters who decided not to vote in their own party’s primary – they chose Obama by an even larger margin, 71 to 25 percent over Clinton. Self-identified Democrats also chose Obama, 59 to 20 percent.
Roughly one out of every five voters in the GOP primary were independent as well – but those voters did not vote for the party’s likely nominee, John McCain, who had been expected to benefit from their support. Instead, independent voters backed Mike Huckabee over McCain, 43 to 34 percent, with Ron Paul pulling in 19 percent. Republicans also broke for Huckabee, but by a much narrower margin, 47 to 45 percent. Virtually no Democrats participated in the Republican contest.”
No that might suggest that an equal NUMBER of Independants voted in the Republican primary. But we have to recall that the Democrats outpolled the Republicans almost 2:1 in Virginia. So 20% of the Democratic Primary will be about twice as many as in the Republican Primary.
This is more very bad news for the Republicans…independents voted 2:1 for a Democrat rather than a Republican. And that was for Obama. And of those that did vote in the Pug Primary only one in three cast a vote for McCain. So it seems that more independents voted for Obama than did in the whole Republican Primary and Obama received something like eight times the number that voted for McCain.
hey nahant - thanks
i like how scott horton tied the crap pulled in WA to John McKay being fired from USA up there:
Dugg your KT, Suz!
Busted - this doesn’t completely suck.
David Gilmour and some other guy.
i am remembering something about CNN having exit pols up - or was it the Washington Post? it was cnn, scroll down to the map and they are just to the right of it
thanks, newton. some other guy, hehehehe
Day between the Sharks losing and Boston Legal I missed first Digg… Oh well there is always NEXT time.
And after reading Scott Horton’s article on Impeachment I have been going back to read his writings. He is well worth the time and effort.
Karla was….
wishing you a deep and reversible sleep, busted.
(and no disrespect sought or intended for our Sandman of the Lake…
just can’t pass up a chance to bring up LeCarre -
his ouvre (sp?) is to “intelligence” and “security” as Fisk’s is for the ME.
Absolute Friends - my favorite cautioanry tale for “terrah”
hey kirk
Yeah, that guy looks a little familiar, so does the video, It’s already on my favorites list.
*g*
Speaking of Gilmour,
I went to my home sty and checked my mail for the first time in over a week and lo and behold the Post office is holding a package for me.
Something from Amazon.
Finally.
Cool! Really, it’s Floyd masturbation, but it is worth having.
If you don’t go watch it pretty soon, you’ll kick yourself.
mmm boots 707
Remember how New Mexico had such bad snow on their primary (or caucus?) night?
This is a story from one of the affected towns.

Brad’s Blog has a interesting update on the Sibel Edmonds whistle blowing on the US nuclear secrets scandal… Valerie Plame Wilson Interview: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5685
dang
et has been following the sibel case over at his place. i hope he stops in tonight and gets a chance to see that.
I have read her story and watched her speeches, she is one hell of a human being.
Question, do you think this story can get traction-my god what these people are doing.
Could it br Donita’s CD Busted? I am jealous if it is, I ordered mine the same day and paid extra for the autographed copy… Dam some guys have all the luck :>)
i found this utube about sibel over at et’s place. certainly grabbed my attention.
I pointed busted to a DVD about the making of Dark Side of the Moon a few days ago…
But if it’s Donita, I want to know where my copy is!
No, It’s the Pink Floyd stuff I ordered a couple of weeks ago, the Donita CD should be here around the 19th according to my most excellent benefactor.8)
Thanks Suz listening now!!
Maddy it is frightening what has been going on, I don’t think we can afford to not get these monsters taken to task for what they have done and the lives they have so brutally wasted in the name of power and greed..
Whew… I guess and stop looking so green :>)
make that two outstanding human beings-
hey suzanne -
what’s all this then about feline oppression?
That was pretty damn awesome all the way around.
SHISTE!
I just remembered I need to get that damn contract notarized and sent off STAT!
Me too I called my notary but he didn’t return my call… I will get him tomorrow for sure!!
feline oppression? you talking about token and the dobie?
Well, it’s bedtime fer Busted.
Y’all have a good one.
Goodnight.
g’nite busted - enjoy the ear/eye candy
Night Busted Enjoy Pink Floyd!!
Got home late. Just heard about Donna’s amazing landslide victory.
Is this where I go to gloat?
nite busted
oh yeah (said in best barry white voice)
nooo…
I thought I’d read a report from a most reliable law enforcement officer about canine/feline dynamics…
but I could be wrong….
Consider me gloating then.
Funny you should mention Barry White. My father-in-law, who just passed away in December, discovered and managed Barry White in the early part of his (Barry’s) career. My darling wife still remembers coming home from school and seeing him sitting at the family piano, playing and singing. He was really a big man, she says, and very gentle.
(lightbulb going off i think) you talking about token picking the toon over at my place (and the decision not telling bailey about it)
i’m sorry for your loss. i lost my dad several years ago.
that is so cool about barry white. i was just looking over in the utubes for the bathroom scene where everyone is dancing to barry doing we got it together
I’lll dimes to dollars thats what it is Suz :>) S
Still Watching Sibel Edmonds - “Kill The Messenger” Frigging crazy… what can be done about these bastards???/
i found this from the ally mcbeal show finale but not the one i was looking for
Just home from work. The only AM radio or voice I could get was Michael Savage who kept on screaming “Drek Hussein Osama the Senator from the Madrassa,” which indicated Obama had creamed HRC. But no word on Edwards. Now I see she is cleaning Wynn’s clock? Is that going to hold?
ouch - doncha have a cd player or cassette player? even an 8 track player would be better than that. geez.
et, wynn conceded
I ended up listening to Aaron Copland, then Taj Mahal on the CD player after I started spewing out the window. Long, icy drive tonight. So Donna did it? This is GOOD NEWS for Diane Benson!

Update 2–Edwards Wins MD-04: The Washington Post has projected Donna Edwards as the winner in the Democratic primary for Maryland’s 4th congressional district! Yes, yes, yes! I’m going to sign off for the night now, and provide updated pledged delegate and popular vote totals in the morning. Congratulations to everyone!
Update–Huge night for progressive movement: With every precinct coming in with at least a 10% improvement for Edwards over 2006, let me reiterate this point: the new primary voters who are coming out for Barack Obama are also going to result in the first progressive displacement of a centrist, corporate, congressional Democrat via a primary in years. This it it. This is what we have been working for and building for. This is our emerging majority. We finally have the organization, and the voters, and the whole ball of wax. The movement has thoroughly come of age.
Thanks. He was really like a second Dad to me as I lost mine when I was 19 - and that’s along time ago. The funeral was really amazing, though, hundreds of people, some of whom flew in from Europe. Now they are going to induct him into the rock and roll Hall of Fame posthumously. Like he would care (unless they were serving really good wine at the ceremony).
I am listening to Michael Landau right now, writing ann playing my guitar, and enjoying one small victory against the dried up monsters-No helmet hair here.
Thanks. My guesstimates were correct. Twice as many independents voted in the Democratic Primaries than the Republican Primaries in both States. That implies that the Independents prefer a Democratic candidate, or a specific Democratic candidate (Obama). Actually they definitely did not prefer Clinton (they voted 2:1 for Obama in Md and 3:1 for him in Virginia). In Virginia Independents actually only supported McCain by about 30%, half preferred Huck, and about 25% Ron Paul.
I think all of this suggests that the Republicans are in great disarray and have lost the support of independents. It might be interesting to compare this data historically and see if Independents actually (in number) disproportionately supported a Republican or Democrat in a contested (e.g. 1992; 2000) Primary. Or whether such primary turnouts were so lopsided. The problem is that usually there was a seated President running for election…or a VP that was sort of ordained. Gore was challenged, though…as was Bush Sr.
Best to you Morris..peace for your father in law.
Are there any articles out yet that accurately describe what Edwards and her supporters did to Wynn and the monied interests he represented (boy, do I love putting represent in the past tense in reagard to Wynn!)?
try this for the beltway reaction et
The felines united shall never be defeated!
(but may be mollified with appropriate yummies…)

(((Morris, Ms Morris, and family)))
And please do come here to gloat anytime - good on ya!
That’s excellent. Howie also just put a post up on her. Donna’s the only out-of-state candidate I’ve ever donated to three times. We’ll make that four on payday!
Did anyone see these results in U.S. House, District 6 Democratic Primary?
Candidate Votes %
Jennifer Dougherty 22,679 44
Andrew Duck 19,212 37
Other 9,467 18
Reading up about Duck seems to suggest that he was a progressive, intent on getting the US out of Iraq and returning us to a Constitutional democracy. Dougherty seemed more concerned about bringing pork projects to the district. The fact that he almost won the Primary without any help suggests that the anger is quite deep. We may have had a chance to pick off one of “Steny’s” hand-picked people but missed it.
Oh regarding that District 6, it’s held by an incumbent Republican named Roscoe Bartlett who is pretty well gerrymandered in. So it may not have mattered who won the Democratic race. But one could dream ;-)
i updated this post with the latest numbers on donna’s fantabulous win
Donna Edwards makes me dream Cindy Sheehan dreams tonight.
Goodnite, pups. Quite a day.
Dayam - an oversight (in general) and a good pick-up (on your part).
Hope Duck jumps into the pool again in “ought-ten”.

Goodnight Teddy.
Good Cindy dreams to you.
(excoriating, nightmarish Casey dreams to Gramma Nancy…for the rest of her miserable, servile life)

Thanks Suz for the link to “Kill the Messenger”. I hadn’t seen that and boy does it make me even more pissed off at Bush and company… Where will this all lead, I worry for my grandkids, will they have a country that they can grow up in and have decent lives??

Good dreams, Morris.
Blessings upon you, your spouse, your father-in-law, and families.
