ArchPundit has the details. Ridiculous.

One year ago today: “Being here makes you feel like it can happen. We can shock the world.” In an odd twist of fate, I’m traveling this week and needed to borrow an office that had Internet access today. So I swung by the downtown-DC office of Echo Ditto, the consulting firm started by Nicco…

OK, I’m going to give this a go… the DCCC is sponsoring a “Majority Maker” competition. I’m less interested in winning the competition than I am in helping out in key races. So if you’re able, consider giving a few dollars to the DCCC. In the final 2 weeks of the campaign, your contributions could…

This is rich. In today’s endorsement for Clerk of the Circuit Court in DuPage County, the Daily Herald has this to say: Kachiroubas has a comprehensive agenda for change that users of the office would welcome. He also conveys his plans with enthusiasm for the work ahead. So if you head over to his web…

I tend to agree with this reaction: using anyone’s children for political advantage is shameful. But is there a grey area here? Cheney’s daughter works on his campaign, is open in…

Taegan Goddard: “The bottom line is that Kerry not only sounded more presidential, but looked presidential. By this measure, he was the clear winner.”

Meanwhile, over at MSNBC.com, Keith Olbermann scores each question and concludes that Kerry won the debate on questions — 12-5 (3 rounds a draw) — and on points — 19-3. Olbermann’s been doing a great job during the election, by the way. A high point for me was his interview with Elizabeth Edwards, and his…
