I’m creating this open thread as most of the day I’ll be devoting my time to Super Duper Tuesday coverage. If you have any newslinks related to Campaign 2008, please post them in that thread and use this one for all the rest.
La Socialista’s healthscare plan – the extended version
Outwageous! Via the CBS News Horserace blog (emphasis added):
“Is this the hill I am willing to die on?”
I wanted to share with ya’ll something written by “danaduck,” friend of mine from a political forum I frequent. It was posted at the forum in response to a column titled “If Someone Else Has to Do It.” The column was written by your typical raving anti-war lefty about how most wars aren’t really started/joined in order to protect our freedoms, and how ‘chickenhawks’ are never too afraid to send other men off to die for ‘profit,’ etc.

Super Duper Tuesday eve
It’s the day before the much-awaited 24 state primary/caucus day better know as “Super Duper Tuesday.” Tomorrow I’ll be liveblogging the ups and downs of the day, and plan on being awake until we know who the winner is in Cahleefornia (as Ahhnold would say).
What Barack Obama means when he talks about “change” and “bipartisanship”
Ever notice that during every presidential election cycle, at least one candidate is promising a "change" in Washington, DC? This year’s agent of "change" is Senator Barack Obama. The speech he made when he announced his candidacy back in February 2007 was titled "Change We Can Believe In." It’s been the centerpiece of his candidacy. He wants to end the gridlock in Washington, DC, reach across partisan lines, all in order to "get things done." When the average person hears that, they may think, "Wow, he really wants to extend a hand to the other side of the aisle and work together to come up with solutions both sides can be happy with."
