DISQUS

some answers Latest information I have is that Dennis4president has one lone staffer here in Iowa, Marcos Rubenstein, and no offices.

Bill Richardson has managed one legislative endorsement, from State Rep. Marcella Frevert of Palo Alto County, back on November 21.

So... Was the forum hijacked by the Clinton campaign, Chase? You made quite a big deal about this here:

So what happened? Anything?

As to innuendo, the burden of proof is upon those who propagate it, not those toward whom it is directed.

Ricardson's Favorite Bible Verse What about the one saying that the Lord ordains Iowa to go first?

Edwards is Totally Rattled... in his response on the 3 H's. Completely on the defensive.

Obama No, he booted it because he framed his answer as a choice between working on the war and working on civil rights, and saying that the war was more important than civil rights. A false choice, and a bad answer.

Transcript I've got a running transcript of the debate up on http://ipol-2008.blo...

OMG, Obama... just totally booted the question on civil rights!

History in the Making! I think we've just witnessed the first use of the word "dissed" in a presidential debate in Hillary's social security answer.

Obama Weakest By Far Stammering, looks like he's not tracking at all. Honestly, I'm worried - is he ill, or something?

Biden Strongest So Far Tonight This really is Biden's day. 110 more days like this and he's really got a shot at winning Iowa.

As Moveon Themselves Said, "This is Much Bigger Than One Ad." My own thoughts here:

At Some Point You Have to Stop Working to Beat People and Start Working With Them Angry rhetoric is fun, isn't it? But it doesn't do much other than fire up a crowd for a few minutes, and it certainly doesn't solve anything.

I take a back seat to no one in insisting we must right the errors of the last 6 years of Bush-Cheney. But one of the most egregious errors is the endless perpetuation of political divisions in Washington and, indeed, in communities all across the country. And saying that "You have to take them on. You have to confront them. You have to beat them," whomever the "them" of the moment might be, is the worst kind of political business as usual.

To rift on one of John Edwards' own  pet phrases, we can't just trade our red meat for their red meat and expect to truly change politics and government in this country. People are crying out for someone who can expunge political poison from Washington and actually start to get things done after the Bush years of drift and decay. A big part of the knock Hillary Clinton gets is that she's too divisive to win, and, even if she won, too divise to govern effectively. That may or may not be true. But when I read comments like those made by John Edwards as quoted above, I have to wonder what is the real problem some have with Hillary Clinton.

I haven't made up my mind about which candidate to support in the caucuses. But stories like this make me increasingly disillusioned about John Edwards.
