Chalabi's Lobbyist Was Sarah Palin's Spy
Randy Scheunemann was the guy spreading disinformation to boost Palin's reputation.
Why Janet Napolitano Is Right For Attorney General
The election is nigh 24 hours in the bank, and the rumor wires and scuttlebutt are exploding with discussion of the makeup of President-elect Barack Obama's cabinet and staff to be. Attorney General is a critical post in any administration; but perhaps at no time in history of the United States as important as this moment. Janet Napolitano is the complete package. President Obama, make her your Attorney General. It will be one of the smartest decisions you ever make, and here is why.
Palin and the Presidential
Palin was devastating for McCain's presidential race. But I'm not sure she was as bad as people are saying.
Speaking as the Owner of a Perfect Storm Cap
I'm glad Howard Dean didn't let Chuck and Rahm claim all the credit for a big victory again, like they did in 2006.
This has been a truly historic, transformational election. Tonight, our country chose hope over fear, the future over the past, unity over division. This election also reflects the passing of the torch to a new generation.
Schadenfreude 2006, the Sequel
George Allen race-mongers. And loses.
McCain's campaign fear-mongers. And loses.
Schadenfreude Four
Pete Domenici gets a US Attorney fired because he won't help Republicans cheat their way to victories.
Democrats get their revenge. And then some.
Schadenfreude Three
2004.
2008.
Though Fox called it for Obama, then un-called it, so we may not be out of the woods yet.

Schadenfreude One and Schadenfreude Two
John Sununu cheated to beat Jeanne Shaheen in 2002.
Shaheen got revenge.
And Jesse Helms' lifetime seat?
Just got re-upholstered in blue.
They Got Out Their First Time Voters
My take from Detroit.
The Lay Of The Land
The vote plugs along all across the nation. My wife and I have cancelled out John and Cindy McCain’s votes, so we got that going for us. Take that Grumpy John. Barack Obama, irrespective of the policy specifics that we may each agree or disagree with, is a leader. He is a motivator. He brings hope. Today the switch is flipped. Get fired up! Get ready to go! Let's rock and roll folks!
Obama's Acceptance Speech
If all goes well, someone will be relieving me at the precinct I've been working at in Detroit. In the meantime, I hear this fellow gives a good speech.

Yes We Can

Obama Announces His Presidential Bid
I'll be in Detroit all day doing voter protection and bmaz will be in and out. But you can chat among yourselves about this fellow.
Ain't No Line Too Damn Long

Obama's 2004 DNC Keynote
I'll be in Detroit all day doing voter protection and bmaz will be in and out. But you can chat among yourselves about this fellow.
If You'll Be My Dixville Chicken, I'll Be Your Tennessee Lamb!
Obama Wins Dixville Notch!!!Barack Obama - 15 John McCain - 6
Governor-Appointed Panel Clears Governor of Wrong-Doing
The Personnel investigation into the firing of Walt Monegan--the one conducted by three governor appointees--has cleared Sarah Palin of any wrong-doing.

These findings differ from those of the Branchflower Report because
