Quote of the Day
Booman Tribune —
"Voting with George Bush 90% of the time isn't being a maverick, it's being the President's sidekick.

Ten Post Round-Up: Monday, September 8
The Democratic Daily —
Last week was a humdinger, politically speaking. I think I fed my political appetite for an entire year, in less than 7 days, and still over-ate. To say the least, I’m a little stuffed from all the political edibles.

Today in The Nation: You-Tubing the Election
The Nation: Top Stories —
In America's first YouTube election, it turns out the voters were mainly in charge--not the campaigns or news organizations. The Nation analyzed the top YouTube videos about both presidential nominees during the general election, starting in May after the parties' primaries were settled, and found that the most-viewed videos were made by citizens and independent groups. Out of the top twenty videos focusing on Obama, only one was produced by his campaign, an advertisement contrasting his economic credentials with John McCain's. Three other Obama videos came from McCain's headquarters, as viewers flocked to see sensational attack ads slamming the ...
