Democrats Have 80,000 Voter Registration Advantage in Nevada
In 2006, Republican registered voters outnumbered Democratic registered voters by 7,000. In only two years, the Democrats have flipped state voter registrations in their favor to an 80,000 advantage. And according to an article in the RGJ, Democrats enjoy a registration advantage in all age groups. You can see the detailed voter [...]
Forget Lapel Pins, It’s All About American Flaggate
The Republican’s deeply dishonest and unpatriotic fight to “prove” their political party is more patriotic than the Democratic Party has been taken to new absurdest heights. Do they realize that they are reducing patriotism to lapel pins and the memory lapse of most likely unpaid volunteers? Read this Denver Post blog post and [...]
Cooling My Heels, Waiting for Obama
I just finished a walking tour of Denver–what a fabulous city it’s turned into. I lived in Englewood, a suburb of Denver when I was a kid, but back then, downtown used to be kind of run down, or at least Lower Downtown (LoDo), where I spent most of my time used to be [...]
What The Big Tent Looks Like

Interview with Jill Derby in Big Tent
Look who I ran into at the Big Tent in Denver while covering the Democratic National Convention. Sorry for all the “ah hm’s” you hear throughout, it’s my first video interview. The Flip Video is pure awesomeness.

New Organizing Institute and WomenCount Panel
When I can find enough bandwidth to upload my videos, I will post them. My gracious family friend Elaine is not only letting me crash at her pad, she also happened to have an extra flip camera laying around so I’m trying my hand at video documentation with no editing what so ever (takes [...]
National Journal Blog Polling Begins
The National Journal recently asked me to participate in a blog polling project during the convention. I’m not sure why they asked me to participate, perhaps they’re big fans of Freud?
Look at who else is included–I’m like the kid playing with blocks on the living room floor listening while the grown-ups talk [...]
Western Majority Project Domain Has Been Saved!
So guess what, the Western Majority Project is just fine. The email’s they’ve been sending out just linked to the wrong URL. Whoops. The WMP has now fixed the problem so check it out. They even have events at the convention in Denver.

Minx Overground at the Nevada State Democratic Convention
I originally intended to attend the state convention as a guest. In fact, I actually registered as a guest last night, but thanks to the encouragement of a local party official, I asked for and received a media pass. Without the media pass, I would have had to watch all the events from [...]
Hot Damn, We Got Ourselves A Debate!
Thanks to the campaign hijinks surrounding the Nevada Caucus, the Democrats are having a heated debate in South Carolina! The candidates are finally talking about race too. The Swamp is liveblogging.
Clinton and Obama did a good job of tag-teaming Obama and forcing him to explain votes and policy positions, that is when Edwards [...]
Well That Was Fun
I just got back from my caucus location and it was great fun–lots of people talking, debating–just what a caucus should be. I can’t say much more because it might give away my identity but the delegate results were more than satisfying. A couple of thoughts on the characteristics of each campaign’s voters in my [...]
Edwards Won The Debate But Are We Doomed to Repeating History Again with Giuiliani?
Ezra Klein asks the question I have been asking myself for months now. Why isn’t the press treating Giulani like the crazed, power-obsessed, and corrupt man he clearly is?
You know, a few years ago, Sally Quinn wrote an article explaining why elite Washington had united against Bill Clinton. In it, David Broder famously said [...]
