The Democrats are pwning the Republicans in the debate over Iraq. Nancy Pelosi is providing videos of it via her YouTube page. In this post is the video of Rep.

Howard Dean appeared on The Daily Show last night to help get the word out about the Democrats plan and strategy to take back Congress this fall. He is working his 50 state strategy hard and I agree that the key to taking back Washington has to start at the local level. It is worth […]
