President Obama’s weekly video address had an absolute gem in it this weekend. I know that the insurance industry won’t like the idea that they’ll have to bid competitively to continue offering Medicare coverage, but that’s how we’ll help preserve and protect Medicare and lower health care costs for American families. I know that banks and big student lenders won’t like the idea that we’re ending their huge taxpayer subsidies, but that’s how we’ll save taxpayers nearly $50 billion and make college more affordable. I know that oil and gas...

So I moved to Nashville, TN for a job. Yup, that is all you get for now.

Over on Ted’s blog, there is an exchange between former LD 17 Representative Laura Knaperek and some of the usual r cubed crowd about her opposition for SB1040, a bill in 2005 that was killed in committee that was written to modernize spousal rape laws. I responded with a comment, and then went back and looked for some of the old stuff we did as the Young Democrats of Arizona on the issue. I added another comment, but all the links I used got it spam blocked. So I return to this dead blog in an attempt to post the comment that didn’t show up. Hey so check this out. I was prez of...

It turns out that John McCain isn’t the only Federal candidate from Arizona having some major issues with the truth. Republican David Schweikert unleashed the first negative ad of the general election for Arizona’s Fifth on … you guessed it, September 11th.  Schweikert took this classless step despite nearly every other candidate for office, including the McCain and Obama campaigns, swearing off campaigning and attacks on 9/11 as a sign of national unity and to honor the lives lost seven years ago. Pretty sleazy huh?  But as they say in only the best infomercials, “wait,...

I love Harry Mitchell. The man was my State Senator, my boss at the Arizona Democratic Party when he was Chairman, and now is my Congressman. I really really feel lucky to have someone like him representing me in DC. I just got an email highlighting a new ad they are running - I wanted to post it here. I love it.

One day campaigns will start to realize that using stock photography or video footage is hardly ever a good idea.  You never know if the person in the video or photo will come out against you, as the 3am girl did against Hillary.  You can’t be sure that the photo used actually depicts something ironically beyond what you intended, like JD Hayworth’s local projects mailer that showed an L.A. freeway.  You also don’t want to be caught, embarrassingly, needing to use stock photos of “supporters” because … well … you don’t have any real ones. Enter...

Why do we only see coverage like this from a “fake news” outlet. Just watch the video, I don’t need to say a thing.

Watch this video. CNN destroys this poor McCain hack who is unable to answer simple questions about Governor Palin …
