All right, if hippies really want to they can.
Election Day Poll Workers Needed
We still need a few additional poll workers (Alternate Election Judges) to work Election Day, November 7. The hours will be from approximately 6:45 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. There will be an Election Judge and a clerk to assist with the election […]

There is a plethora of polls out now. Several national polls have President Bush’s approval rating dropping just ahead of the midterm elections. He may not be up for re-election, but his party is suffering because of his low numbers.
Not to mention how Congressional Republicans have acted since he became president. Amazingly, for the first […]

Markos will be coming back to Austin for a book signing Thursday. If a certain monkey from space would like to meet him and pass out my business cards while I recuperate from horrible, horrible pain, here is the info, yo.

9:45 a.m.
David Van Os, Democratic Candidate for Texas Attorney General, will speak at the McLennan County Courthouse, 5th & Washington, downtown Waco. David is going to all 254 courthouses in the state in his campaign for Attorney General. All Democrats are invited to welcome him to McLennan County.

The Lloyd Doggett Re-Election Campaign is seeking volunteers and interns that can assist Congressman Doggett and the campaign staff with a range of responsibilities. Join our team and show the Republicans how hard we Texas Democrats fight and persevere despite their partisan redistricting efforts.
Volunteers are needed to help with mailings, phone banks, canvassing, office/computer needs, […]

The headlines today read “Beware incumbents.” That about sums it up.
The talking heads, though, are blathering and they just don’t really get it. I’ve heard more than one person today say something to the effect that this race will embolden the left in the party. If they had been paying attention, they would realize that […]

From the Hartford Courant:
U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman conceded defeat just after 11 p.m. in the bitter Connecticut primary.
But Lieberman pledged to continue his candidacy as an independent in the general election in November.

That dick is going to keep on going, even though he lost. If I were a nicer person, I would grant that […]

Lyn Wall sent me this link for up-to-the-minute info on the Lamont-Liberman primary struggle. The fact that it was ever in doubt shows how weak some of the “bipartisan” Dems are in their own party.
The fact that Lamont is winning shows how weak Lieberman is. A year ago, his seat and his incumbency were a […]

No Lamont-mentum,either, for that matter. A news blog that is lucky enough to get main paged at Google News has looked high and low and has not found any online advertising for the final push before tomorrow’s big primary election in Connecticut.
For all the supposed power blogs are having in this race, not a lot […]

Joe Lieberman is trailing challenger Ned Lamont by double digits now, meaning that he will probably have to run as an independent in November. The primary election is only 4 days away and I don’t see how Joementum can build to overcome such a deficit.
The poll, by Quinnipiac University, showed Mr. Lamont leading with 54 […]
