Our pal Jim ross has been commenting here for quite some time now.  This week he made the comparison between gubernatorial hopeful Tom Emmer and the boyband 98 Degrees.  That alone was funny as hell to me, as his logic was pretty spot on.  Here is his comment:


Another week, another headache for the presumptive midterm winners.  

WASHINGTON -- A House investigative panel has charged California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters with violating ethics rules.

Waters, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, would face a trial in the fall unless she negotiates a settlement.


Hmmm....Now you've got members of your own party smacking you around over your ill-advised lawsuit against a state for doing the job that YOU should be doing.  

Democratic governors expressed "grave" concerns to White House officials this weekend about the Obama administration's suit against Arizona's new immigration law, warning it could cost the party in crucial elections this fall, The New York Times reported late Sunday.

The closed-door meeting took place at the National Governors Association in Boston on Saturday, according to two unnamed governors who spoke to the Times.

"Universally the governors are saying, 'We've got to talk about jobs, and all of a sudden we have immigration going on,'" Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, was quoted as saying, "It is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats."


I woke up to a bit of good news today, as I had a voicemail from her campaign.  Barb is back and running against Keith Ellison during the 2010 midterms in Minnesota's 5th district. 

Please take a moment and check out her site, and if you feel so compelled, toss her a few bucks and show support.  With the significant buyers remorse people are feeling across this country, not only for the President but for Congress (whose dismal approval ratings continue to plummet), I see a great opportunity to unseat Keith X in November.  She received very little party support two years ago, so it truly is important to lend a hand to GOOD candidates like Barb.  And while the 5th has been a blue district for many years, given the current political climate anything is possible.
Let's send Keith packing in November.  SUPPORT BARB DAVIS WHITE!
