Errr…umm…what?
ArchPundit
The Hardblogger?
Ummm…what demo are they trying to hit now?
BTW, Dominic is from University City–where I currently reside and is a friend of Jeff Smith–my friend running for the 3rd CD here in Missouri.
Ryan Lizza Drools
And I like it–more Obama for you from the Atlantic Monthly.
I’m sure all of this is making candidates really want to get into this race.
Your Obama Porn for the Day
I’m stealing from Polis for the intro, but the Trib slobbers over him today.
Note, I’m all for metaphorical slobbering over Obama.
Something I Never Thought I’d Say
But GO JERRY SPRINGER!
Jerry is working to revitalize the Democratic Party in Ohio–probably the single most important state in this year’s election for President. I have my reservations about Springer running, but I think this is a good role for him within the Party. So go take a look. O
Another place to look for good blog coverage is the Moderate Voice–a great blog with thoughtful commentary.
Other highlights of the Blogads–anyone see the Manchurian Candidate? I’m curious on the reviews.
One Stop is an interesting site–take a look–especially if you are a student.
Melissa Bean is having a great week of press coverage.
Barack is gone for now. But still give. ;). Really for now I think the grassroots nature is great so let’s give a big hand to the guy who funded that ad, just because he thought it was important. That is how elections are changing and for the better.
Join Cross is back in the swing of things after the Ditka movement and a golf fundraiser.
American Forum gives you somewhere to go and talk more.
MSNBC TV coverage is making me want to make fun of Tweety Mathews. Man, I can’t wait for the fall SNL season.
I wanted to take a moment to highlight these ads because they really do help me pay for bandwidth which is going up every month. Please visit each sponsor and see what they have. Blogging needs to be sustainable and covering my costs is the first part of that.

Krause. Think what Jordan would do to get Obama elected then….
THE…WORST…CANDIDATE..EVER..FOR…CONGRESS
That’s an overstatement, but I had quite a time detailing a bad campaign here in St. Louis–for those who like trainwrecks–have at it over at Blog Saint Louis.
He may still win.
Broadening Hospital Scandal
It’s unclear to me how illegal some of this is, but scandals can be borne of completely legal behavior. The Sun-Times does a good job connecting the dots in this article. Normally, I’d insert the disclaimer that State Dems have similar issues, but that isn’t necessary since Jack Franks is right in the middle of much of this.
Illinois Senate Republican Nomination Cattle Call Open Thread
Okay, another one since I had all the tech difficulties. Let ’em rip.
I hear OneMan is under serious consideration.
Sweet Six
Lance Did What No One Had Ever Done Before.
While I was off on the podium, Americans did well with Levi in 9th, Landis in 23rd, Hincapie at 33, Julich at 40th and Lemont’s Vandevelde in 56th.
Tyler’s back problems appear to be getting better despite early reports.
Azevedo finished 5th riding in support of Lance and Postal was only about 3 minutes behind T-Mobile in the team competition–not something typical for a team built around one guy winning. A very good tour.
I’m betting that the tour road race will be between Kloden, Ullrich, Tyler and Levi assuming they are all in the race.
Now That’s an Echo Chamber
So I haven’t been able to track down Dan Proft’s role in the weird Ditka deal the morning he announced he wouldn’t be getting in, it does appear that Dan and the happy gang of delusionals have been pushing Ryan to get back in the race.
In a telephone interview Friday from Ryan’s Chicago headquarters, Pascoe said staying in the race was something Ryan appeared to consider only in passing, at the urging of staff members who suggested a “wave of remorse” by the public over Ryan’s situation might make it possible for the campaign to survive.
A wave of remorse? Where was this wave? Because I’m pretty sure that most people in Illinois moved on after a couple days of chuckling.
The cult of Jack! is one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen in a while. The guy seemed to be a perfect empty suit with the most notorious episode being his discussion concerning the Treaty of Westphalia while not knowing anything about the Kjellander scandal. Why exactly is it that a clueless clown has so much support without knowing much about what his supporters apparently care about?
