It's going to be a fun Summer and Fall

I don't follow all the House races unless there is something "good" for us all to see..

Well - there is in Missouri where a Dem fought back with her own ad to counter a sleazy repug ad.

If the dems around the country are wiling to stand up and pounce back quickly with great ads - it will be a fun summer of YouTube watching : - )

What the "other" media won't say about McSame

From BraveNew Films - another McCain zig-zag express - using his own words!

We have to keep showing the public what McSame is really like since the "other" press/media is his base - they love him and won't say anything negative about him - and they even "correct" his misstatements by reporting "what he really meant to say was..." - even tho McSame never self-corrected....



Oh - and by the way - how many media outlets have reported that his campaign has now lost 5 aides since it was found out that they were lobbyists for persons like the Burmese junta...see here: http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5853
