Bush “Clearly Unfit to Lead”

Joe Trippi: “We may be headed to a brokered convention.”
Thursday, April 5th, 2007It is the best of times.
Because while the last few conventions have been slumbering affairs where long-crowned princes make their speeches, Joe Trippi just a few minutes ago predicted on “Heading Left” on BlogTalkRadio that we could be headed to a brokered convention with real floor fights and horse trading.
Lowell Feld has more here.

Is the Revolution Still Revolutionary?
Thursday, April 5th, 2007Some of my fellow political consultants are grousing that the 2008 Presidential campaigns are really the same old same old — nothing innovative is happening compared to the revolutionary Howard Dean campaign of 2003.
Well, that may be so. In terms of formal innovation, not alot is happening this cycle. Instead what is happening is that […]

Tuesday Morning Blog Roundup
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007Here are some interesting diaries from the progressive blogosphere that caught my eye this morning:

McCain “Walks Freely” in Baghdad…With 100 Soldiers, Helicopters, etc.
Monday, April 2nd, 2007This story would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic; John McCain hasn’t just jumped the shark, he’s jumped every other sentient lifeform at this point, including his own (former) integrity. Ugh.
Anyway, here’s some commentary on McCain’s latest “straight talk” about walking “freely” in Baghdad with 100 soldiers, 3 Blackhawks, 2 Apaches, 1 […]
