Prologue: Adventures in Santa Monica

Monday, June 19th, 2006

I’ve got a bunch of LA pictures to post later. Consider this a prologue. I met this guy in Santa Monica but forgot to take his picture. Thanks to Google and Flickr, here’s someone else’s picture of Jerry Rubin, selling his peace stickers. Photo Credit: scurvesahead. Jerry “Peace Activist” Rubin legally changed his name so […]

Damn kids

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

19-year-old Chris Jackson has been writing a blog called the Ford Report dedicated to electing Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. the next Senator from Tennessee for almost a year. On Tuesday, in a post entitled “Blogging For Bryant & NRSC Running Deficit Of Ideas; Resorts To Lying,” Jackson observed: Once again, Blogging for Bryant and the […]

Good time for some strategic redeployment (i.e. get the troops out. now.)

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

So says Eric Alterman: You know, with Zarqawi dead, —not that he was ever what they said he was or couldn’t have been gotten before— and a new cabinet in place —not that it can be expected to last— and Bush’s popularity on an uptick —not that it exceeds the poll’s margin of error— and […]

Another blog covering this race

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

And I thought I was alone. Turns out there’s yet another blog covering the race in CA-26: In 2004, Dreier outspent Matthews 50 to 1 yet received the lowest percentage of the vote during any of his elections since 1980. 2006 is the year to remove him from Congress. Click here, here and here to […]

$40k Push Poll?

Friday, June 9th, 2006

So far, this is the most intriguing of answers to my question about how the Warner campaign lost it. I wonder where I can get another source on this (from the comments on my MyDD diary): Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t heard it myself, but Wes Clark – here in Vegas for the […]

CA-26: An Election Day Mystery

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

[cross-posted at Daily Kos, MyDD and Calitics] A week ago, I wrote a diary here asking for suggestions for starting a new blog to cover the race in CA-26. Two nights ago, I watched and reloaded, slightly disbelieving the preliminary results in the Democratic primary in CA-26, David Dreier (R-Closet)’s district. Russ Warner, endorsed by […]

Post mortem?

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

There’s a few comments below lamenting Warner’s defeat. Does anyone have insight into what happened with the campaign? I’m reluctant to try to do a post mortem right now considering how far off I was (just scroll down and you’ll see). Maybe this will be a much more personal blog after all. Posting this for […]

Polls Closed

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

Polls closed half an hour ago. The Warner camp says exit polls have Warner taking an early lead. Here’s a picture of the Warner rally (along 210), which I hear got a lot of support from passing motorists:

Woah, woah

Monday, June 5th, 2006

I got a little carried away (see below), what with some free time on my hands, a working Internet connection, and a couple days of blogging to catch up on. This is from my walk through Claremont, up Harvard Ave: And here’s a summary of all of the posts below. Election day is tomorrow in […]

Election Day Tomorrow

Monday, June 5th, 2006

Tomorrow is Election Day! Go vote! And if you’ve got some time: If you are going to be in CA June 6 come by campaign headquarters for Russ Warner in Rancho Cucamonga, 10064 Foothill Boulevard, between Haven and Archibald. We can use all the help we can get. Map of 10064 Foothill Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga, […]
