taxing situation
""Bush in a kind of very secretive way has been moving us one step at a time toward a flat tax," Stephen Moore, president of the conservative Club for Growth, told me last month. My piece "Hidden Agenda," from the October issue of the Prospect, gets into this in more detail."
ad count
richard linklater ad from move on. also, i think the dnc's " broken record" ad is pretty effective.
cotton mouth
i think i read about james wolcott skulking about among the liberal bloggers at the convention. maybe he was out creating a little buzz for his blog launch.
map science
looks like the election may come down to pennsylvania. and theres a fairly plausible 269-269 scenario. other states in play: florida tennessee colorado wisconsin iowa nevada minnesota michigan and arizona. possibly arkansas and virginia. my guesstimate today was kerry 270 bush 268. that required a win in nevada tennessee iowa minn michigan and penn but losses in florida colorado virginia and arkansas. click on the interactive map and make your own predictions.
demanding satisfaction
the general gives zell his due.
classs act
fred kaplan skools the repug speeches.

"Keep the focus on the president's manifest record of failure and he loses this election. Simple as that."
la kings
poor little tv execs lost an opportunity today to exploit the rich careless black athlete and the poor confused little white girl. youd think msnbc could pay her off to keep up the charade. if she understood it was for the sake of ratings maybe shed relent. now all we have to look forward to is the new season of The OC. dawg.
