Good news for the Democrats!
Ron Barber wins the Arizonia 8th House seat Special election…..
The Democrats could use any and all the good news they can get….
The President is getting pounded politically in the media and by his OWN….
Bill Clinton, James Carville and others…..
As has been case from time to time…
They want the President to start fighting back against the Republican push to have Obama own the slow growing economy….
That’s in spite of the face that Obama got it handed to him from Bush going out the door….
And the GOP has been very busy making sure they can do everything to NOT help the President make things better…..
On top of that….
The President is waiting for call on the Healthcare law from the Supreme’s….
Could all of this be why the President’s national polling numbers are just above Romney’s?
The saving grace on this though is the President still holds a good lead in the electoral vote, which is how you actually get elected…..
In other places …..
The Miami Heat got ran off the court last night by the Oklahoma Thunder…..
What a game!
Something the Democrats might want to spotlight….
Since Bush gave the surplus away….
American wages have climbed by 42 cents…..
Oh, Yea….
I guess Corey will be still be here every week…..
There are 146 days till the November 6, 2012 Elections…. (6/13/12)

A little 411 on the Issa /Holder contempt thing…
the last two people to be held in contempt by Congress where in 2007 and 2008….
Their cases are listed as on going….
they where Harriet Miers and Karl Rove….
Holder isn’t in trouble….
The President will have him do ‘the right thing’…..
And Issa is’s gonna go but so far…
He doesn’t need the whole thing to blowup in his face….

Good afternoon folks.
OKC choked again last night in Game 3 of the 2012 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat in South Beach, so expect Miami to easily win Game 4 by a blowout.
Tiger Woods will NEVER catch Nicklaus’ 18 PGA Major win record or ever pass him because he’s got a psychological issue with his personal life and nagging knee injuries.
Some of the GOP governors are creating JOBS.
Happy 70th birthday, Paul McCartney!

The Issa / Holder thing…..
Could Issa push things TOO FAR?

A vote maybe coming and play to the WH…

WHAT a GAME!
And Good Morning Wednesday…..
Too darn hot already to walk….
Apparently there’s a new birther twist! Ken Bennett the wingnut AZ Sec of State who tried to get Obama tossed off the ballot for being foreign born now believes Obama was born in Hawaii but lied and said he was born in Kenya to get into college.
Somehow Barack Obama is both a secret Muslim and also a follower of a radical CHRISTIAN Pastor
And now he has apparently lied both about being born in the US or not born in the US.
What the hell!
Why don’t these bigots just call him a N—-er and get it over with!
Then Mitt Romney can give his pat answer of “well that’s not necessarily the language I would use” in response
Ballless wonder that he is.
Scott….
Has he checked on Romney and the Mexico angle yet?
If you haven’t read the post…..
The Bloomberg poll of course challenges ALL the other polls on Obama’s favoriblity….
Bob Kerry is gonna lose….
And Obama is AHEAD in Wisconsin…
They don’t care about Romney because he is white
Bennett (who is Romney’s AZ campaign co- chair) is simply trying to ensure that every possible racist casts their vote against Obama and presumably for the Republicans.
Anytime a black person gets into college these bigots scream “affirmative action”.
Bennett’s ridiculous change in position on this is simply meant as a dog whistle to those who might be going deaf to the normal cries that Obama is somehow “not one of us”.

Votes along party lines
From my in-box today (once you sign a petition on anything, no matter how local, trivial, non-partisan or apolitical, that comes through a MoveOn service, they consider you a member until you unsubscribe).
You can’t use what’s below to vote (of course) because it doesn’t have the links, and it’s not an official ballot, just a plain text copy of part of the e-mail I received.
Dear MoveOn member,
We have a big decision to make.
At MoveOn, members vote on any election endorsements we make. Today we need to decide whether to make an endorsement in the presidential race. The outcome of the election is far from decided—polls are showing that this could be a very tight race—so our work could make a big difference.
If MoveOn members vote to endorse President Obama, we’ll campaign hard to re-elect Obama and to defeat Mitt Romney. If MoveOn members choose not to endorse Obama, we won’t spend our time and resources on the presidential election. It’s up to you.
So it’s time to ask the question: Should MoveOn endorse President Obama?
Yes.
No.
By clicking Yes or No, you are casting your vote. This email is your personal endorsement ballot—unique to you. Please don’t forward it.
If you want to encourage your friends who are MoveOn members to vote, tell them to look for their personal MoveOn ballot email. It’s important to vote immediately. Voting lasts until 9 a.m. Eastern tomorrow—Thursday, June 21.
We all need to weigh in on this crucial question—please take a moment to cast a vote. It only takes a few seconds.
Should MoveOn endorse President Obama?
Yes.
No.
Thanks for all you do.

P.S. Here are the complete rules:
Everyone who is a MoveOn member as of noon Eastern on Tuesday, June 19, is eligible to vote.
Voting lasts now through 9 a.m. Eastern tomorrow—Thursday, June 21.
MoveOn will only endorse President Obama if two-thirds of the votes cast by members are in favor of endorsement.
Only your first vote will be counted, you can’t use this email to vote a second time.
Want to support our work? We’re entirely funded by our 7 million members—no corporate contributions, no big checks from CEOs. And our tiny staff ensures that small contributions go a long way. Chip in here.

Oh….
so skin color, ancestry and ethnicity have nothing to do with it, huh?
Good evening folks depending on your time zone differences.
James B, Jack, Corey, IL Brandon, Daniel G., Manila, Scott P, and everyone else. We are 24 hours away from watching the Miami Heat claim their 2nd NBA championship in franchise history because this series actually was OVER once OKC choked Games 2 and 3.
I’m not surprised that former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty (R) is on the shortlist to be VP for the GOP.
met with Keith last night. he seemed to be doing quite well, and was very relaxed. We didn’t talk too much about pdog101 – other than a sprinkling of comments that the regulars would not find surprising. Keith indicated he may be coming back. hope he does.
My news girl has it right.
America has a drug problem, the drug is the Federal Reserve’s stimulus money, and we need an intervention now.
Oh joy.
I never missed the way that @$$hole piled onto me.
Or, as you call it, ‘open and honest debate.’
I have seen in recent weeks that there is a life outside blogging.
At some point down the road, I’ll committ myself to the pursual of my own interests.
I have my own life to live, and I truly hate that pr!ck Keith.
SE, I ‘m pretty sure you don’t fully understand the role of the federal reserve, or how it can stimulate the country. But if you do, don’t just give us a slogan comparing it to drug addiction, give us a deeper discussion. perhaps quote an economist or two.
Sorry you don’t share my enthusiasm for Keith’s potential return. Maybe you should focus your discussions with Keith on the areas where you and he agree? I’m not sure if that would work, but calling him names isn’t likely to help.
