    have democrats never played poker?

    You don’t show your hand before everyone antes up:

    President-elect Barack Obama will meet with congressional leaders in Washington on Monday to discuss his economic stimulus package, a plan that reports say will include $300 billion in tax cuts.

    The tax cuts for individuals and businesses would account for about 40 per cent of the stimulus package, which is expected to be between [...]



    rejected, for all the wrong reasons

    In a moment of historic drama in the Capitol and on Wall Street, the House of Representatives voted on Monday to reject a $700 billion rescue of the financial industry.

    The vote against the measure was 228 to 205. Supporters vowed to try to bring the rescue package up for consideration against as soon as possible.

    Stock markets plunged sharply at midday as [...]



    my tiny contribution

    This bumper sticker is on sale now at Cafe Press, with all proceeds to the Obama/Biden campaign:

    Cafe press gives substantial discounts on packs of 10 or 50.

    Anderson stood in the back of the room at a meeting of the Democratic Women’s Caucus wearing a Hillary T-shirt, a hat signed by the New [...]



    I Almost Forgot, It’s Always the Dems Fault

    A letter to the editor in The Columbian today:

    Can we afford change?

    President Bush has been in office for approximately 7½ years. During the first six years of his presidency the economy was fine. Consumer confidence stood at a 2½-year high; regular gasoline sold for approximately $2.19 a gallon; the unemployment rate was 4.5 percent; the Dow Jones hit a record high at [...]



    pco invite

    FWIW, I just received this email from the Clark County Dems Central Committee:

    ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING A PRECINCT COMMITTEE OFFICER (PCO)?

    You should have received your ballot in the mail already. If you want to be more involved and become a PCO, look on your ballot and see if there is a Democratic PCO in your precinct or not. If the space [...]
