Bill Fletcher, Jr., Attack on Ahmed Sharif, and New Voters
September 1, 2010President Obama might have declared the combat mission over in Iraq this week, but thousands of troops and contractors remain behind in that country and troops are still moving into Afghanistan. In his speech, Obama struck a note of conciliation with President Bush, and echoed a refrain that's grown familiar now: move forward, don't look back. But Bill Fletcher, Jr. notes that Iraq wasn't a case of a war gone bad with good intentions--it was begun illegally, and handled wrong from the start.The F Word: Fight Tea Party Voters With Fresh Voters
September 1, 2010Candidates have been in their districts, making nice to likely mid-term voters. They're more scarce than general election voters, and typically a more polarized bunch.

June 23, 2010Hmm. What's worse: Backstabbing one president or bombing lots of civilians? The answer's pretty obvious, to judge by the stink over General Stanley McCrystal's comments in DC and in the money media. McChrystal the man's in trouble. The policies he embraced may not be.
