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.

Some Questions For A Wanna Be Senator...



Yesterday's cute little play by the soon to be outgoing Governor of Illinois shouldn't have been too much of a surprise -- indeed, there seems only to be two. One, that Blago could find someone to take his appointment, and, two, that the Democratic Party doesn't seem to have a contingency plan to deal with the situation should Blago actually try to appoint someone. I expected he would and sure would have 'wargamed' that scenario. ( But thats's just me. And ,yes, it is an injustice that I do not recieve vast sums for my political wisdom....) I think their plan is best illustrated by the pootie above.


All that said, their has been some praise for the individual selected, although I have my doubt's. He was, after all, not Blogo's first choice. We don't even know if he was the second. Or third. He sure seems to want it -- to the point of not being slightly cognizant of the baggage attached to the appointment. There may perhaps, be reasons he has often failed to acheive the higher offices he has so clearly aspired to. One of them is below......

Sad News about The Former First Cat


(ed note... today we have a guest columnist, Crumblegums. We went to an expert on this one.)

Meow. Crumblegums here, part of the Furriest Team in Political Blogdom, reporting on some sad news from Maryland, where former First Cat Sox is ailing and not expected to recover. Sox was an inspiration to all pooties that we aspire to the highest of offices. Because of Sox's inspired leadership some of us have governed ourselves accordingly.....as we have learned our entitlements. Ask the humans I own. They will tell you I run this place in a true Executive manner that would make Rahm Emmanual jealous. If I could sire kittens ( damn humans and their sharp things...) I would name one Sox.

For more on this story check the link below.....
(my human say's if you like this article he will let me post the auto bio of me you are eagerly waiting for )
