The Importance of Electing Dems - 1 Vote Clears Ethics Bill

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/14/2008

What an incredible story. Not only is it uplifting to see a genuine progressive elected to congress in Hastert's old seat, but his very first vote helps Pelosi's ethics reform bill reach the floor, overcoming attempts by Democrats and republicans alike t … (see comment)

David Paterson: "The Only Whores I Know Are Lobbyists"

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/13/2008

This whole train wreck may contain a bit of a blessing in disguise. Paterson seems like a genuinely principled, progressive politician. I look forward to watching him govern. (see comment)

Olbermann's Special Comment - Clinton is Using the Race Card

Comment in News (10 diggs, 1 reply) - on 03/13/2008

Considering the delegate math, Hillary Clinton's only hope of winning the nomination at this point is by maiming or mortally wounding Obama. The so called "kitchen sink" strategy, underway since before TX/OH, has already proven highly effective. Clinton … (see comment)

!Viva¡ Obama 2008

If/When Obama wins in the fall, I hope that means all candidates in presidential politics will consider mariachi band ads a new prerequisite for the White House in future races. I only wish this ad had come earlier, maybe before Iowa. A Chris Dodd rapid … (see comment)

Lawrence Lessig launches Change Congress movement

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/20/2008

are you serious? He launched it yesterday, what do you expect? No politician is his right mind would launch their campaign with every proposal already posted. That would give the candidate little to speak about over the course of the campaign, and make … (see comment)

Lawrence Lessig launches Change Congress movement

Comment in News (18 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/20/2008

Agreed. Lessig's heroic efforts championing Creative Commons could be just the tip of the iceberg. What we need most of all in Washington is more bottom up, people powered, grassroots governance. When the people control their government, when governmen … (see comment)

MESSAGE TO DIGITRONIX Filter out 2008 Election news in your preferences if you don't like these sorts of stories. Problem solved. We're in the middle of an election, and an incredibly interesting election at that. I would expect lots and lots more ele … (see comment)

lets not get ahead of ourselves. There's still tons of grassroots work to be done before victory is even remotely possible. Want to actually help out? Start making some phone calls to Wisconsin. It's incredibly easy, with script and numbers provided. … (see comment)

Civil Rights Hero John Lewis Switches from Hillary to Obama

Comment in News (7 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/15/2008

To be clear, John Lewis actually isn't withdrawing his endorsement from Hillary Clinton. Instead, he'd just pledging to vote for Obama as a superdelegate at the convention in Aug. In other words, he's still effectively on Hillary's "side", but won't use … (see comment)

Obama's Unhinged Fans Reveal a Dangerous Zealotry

Comment in News (-2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/14/2008

Here's an idea: lets not reward the candidate that voted to authorize the biggest mistake of our generation. I have a strong preference, and have for a long time but I can't imagine how the folks here representing taylormarsh.com and Hillary Clinton's su … (see comment)

http://www.hillarystore.com/buttons.htm Oh dear god, her visage on a pin! I'm seeing shades of the communist revolution, group-think, brainwashing and the cult of personality! How blind and fanatical Hillary supporters must be, wearing the face of their … (see comment)

Then I guess Hillary's victories in NH (22), NM (26), NV (25) and OK (38) don't count either then? All four of those HRC states have around ~20-35 pledged delegates themselves. Since we're not counting small states, we'll just throw away those delegates … (see comment)

It's telling of the typical digg user that MIKE GRAVEL, of all people, has more Digg fans than Hillary Clinton. I don't think there could possibly be a more difficult venue for Hillary Clinton imaginable, than the predominantly young, male, well-educated … (see comment)

It's just Taylor Marsh readers signing up and supporting their favorite blogger. The story this entry links to includes an explicit call for diggs, and new TaylorMarsh.com users to promote her stories (see quote below). Nothing especially wrong with thi … (see comment)

Right wing mantra? What are you event talking about? Is any criticism of Senator Clinton immediately from the right wing play book, simply because they've also criticized her in the past? I think Senator Clinton has done an admirable job in the Senate. … (see comment)

Taylor Marsh is nothing but a tool, a boring, transparent, Clinton shill. Most columnists, commentators and journalists at least attempt for some degree of objectivity, even when advocating for a cause or candidate. Marsh reports only positive Clinton n … (see comment)

Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, this article is far from an affirmation of truther's ramblings. If anything, it relates more directly to the Bush administration's torture cover up. The recently destruction of CIA terror interrogation tapes (whic … (see comment)

Wesley Clark has endorsed Hillary Clinton, and has been working for the Clinton campaign tirelessly for the last several months. Check out Clinton's campaign website for details. I doubt Obama would select a VP running mate that was opposing his nominat … (see comment)

New Iowa Poll: Obama Widens Lead over Clinton

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/01/2008

Wesley Clark has already endorsed Hillary Clinton, and has been working very regularly with her campaign. I doubt, after endorsing a competitor, Obama would select Clark as his VP. Edwards seems most likely, but Jim Webb of VA seems another likely choic … (see comment)
