A site for and about the Democratic Party and it's politics (in the spirit of DKos-- I'm an unapolegetic Kossack myself) with the objective of helping to elect as many Democrats as possible in both this year and '08. For and about includes history and how we got here so we can figure out the road map out. And that covers a lot of ground. Add your two cent's worth. No refunds.Be advised this is very much a pro Wes Clark site.

50 Days To Go...An Update.


Last week this site posted a short list of candidates we think deserve to win their respective races. Here's a quick update on some of those contests.

In Virginia the race between Allen and Webb has tightened,with both candidates showing momentum. The problem for 'Maccaca' Allen is, his seems to be backwards. Webb trounced Allen in a debate on Meet the Press , presenting a clear choice to Virginias voters. Within 24 hrs Webbs campaign had received over $100,000 in online donations. One hopes that will translate into votes as Allens campaign loses steam. This is a 'twofer' as Allens presidential (whats left of them) aspirations are at stake here. A good week for the Webb campaign and his backers but a lot remains to be done. Especially when Allens camp starts to get desperate.


Over in Montana the numbers look good for Jon Tester. 52 - 43%. A tough lead to overcome but it will take a lot of vigilance to keep Burns from going back to Washington. This one may get a little nasty before its done.

Retirement looming for Burns?



And in Conn the ballot has been released and its bad for Joe Lieberman. He will be placed at least fifth from the top,with the other Republican't, Schlesinger at the top. Ned Lamont, the real and only Democrat in the race follows him. A small, but crucial break for Lamont, if Republican voters mark their ballot before looking at the whole list
