bipartisanship of this paragraph:  We need to get far, far away from it and all those who are promoting the bipartisanship doctrine on how to get along with across the aisle.

"Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, Republican from Alabama, writes today in The Washington Post that the Democrats should embrace a bipartisan plan to "fix" Social Security with private accounts. This is just the type of "bipartisanship" I have warned about and that Congressional Democrats must stay away from."

Re., Biden's comment.

Thank you for posting it, I just went to his Senater website and sent him an email congratulating him and letting him know I fully supported his position. I am so looking forward to a Democratic House and Senate I could cry.

Best of the Holiday Season to ALL!!!

It will take 6 months, or more, to get the surge going and then they will whine that it needs to be given a 'chance', more time, and having gotten dumbass Democrats on board they will have effectively disarmed Democrats of their most potent weapon/issue in 2008.  This is just a replay of 2004, when so many Democrats went along and were neutered in 2004 by their support of the war.  

All this does is delay the inevitable, buying time for the Republicans.  This is just a political scam a sure as the invasion was, to rally the public around the military and stay the course.......kicking the can past the 2008 elections  and disarming Democrats.  

Reminds me of that old Peanuts cartoon where Nancy is holding the football for  Charlie Brown.  She promises that this time its for real.  Charlie goes for it every time and at the last minute she pulls the ball away and Charlie Brown lands  on his face.  Senator  Reid, meet Crharlie Brown.

People moving from blue states to red states is not necessarily a bad thing.  As most of us know, many Democratic House seats are very consolidated.  This is opposed to Republican seats which more often than not, just lean red.  I'm more than willing to have Democrats from NYC - most of who's reps get re-elected with 70+% of the vote - move to lean Republican areas to help balance them out.

Didn't Biden do an about face here?  Wasn't he talking about giving the administration one more 'last chance'?

"These numbers appear to be anecdotal -- exit polling does not include Muslim among the religion choices."

Did they at least provide "Macaca" as a choice?

I'm thrilled to see the Nebraska PSC is investigating the robocalls. Here in Idaho, the Larry Grant campaign was hit with similar automated calls starting in early October. Direct Strategies (the RNCC vendor behind at least some of the Kleeb calls) was paid $6,253 by the RNCC to oppose Grant with phone banking as late as November 2, so Grant (and irate Idahoans) basically dealt with this for close to a month.

I'd love to see the 110th Congress crack down on this sort of crap.

The Virginia Muslim voter numbers may be anecdotal, but there can be no doubt that Muslim institutions worked hard to increase the Muslim vote nationwide. Community leaders clearly see electoral muscle as an essential element in protecting the community from no-nothings like Congressman Goode. I wrote a round up of Muslim GOTV efforts after having the pleasure of walking a precinct with one such activist in the McNerney-Pombo race.

Why am I feeling sorry for Joe Biden? I'm confused.
