Yesterday I got an e-mail from a progressive member of a listserv I'm a member of. I'm not sure if he's a Bernie supporter or an Elizabeth supporter but I'd guess he's backing one of them.

If you're considering voting for Status Quo Joe in a primary in your state, it's very important for you to watch this video above about why the Senate authorized the war against Iraq-- which included Biden attacking fellow Democrats who realized what a terrible idea starting that war was. Without the help from Biden (and the other worthless Joe, Lieberman) George W.

Yesterday, I purposely left a major-- maybe the major-- Bloomberg drawback out of the early morning post on Bloomberg's drawbacks. That's because it deserves a post of its own.

Mini-Mike is suddenly getting so much max-vetting online, that Status Quo Joe, reeling from his disastrous performances in Iowa, New Hampshire and in the polls everywhere, may be slipping through the cracks. We can't have that, can we-- not before he and Bloomberg bloody each other to the point neither can walk out in public. So...
