Seth in CA (for the summer)

Question: Any guesses on who gave this advice? Answer in the extended entry. The war in Iraq is over except for the dying. Campaign for a date to bring our forces home. Speak for Americans on big issues like gas prices, health care, the environment and alternative energy. Don’t be afraid to say we’re for […]

There’s a class at Cal State blogging the same congressional race as I am??? How did I miss this in my obsessive Technorati / Feedster searching? Here’s my favorite post: Quick note about Cynthia Matthews victory… Don’t feel obligated to change your papers that were written assuming a Warner victory. From an educational standpoint, the […]

Fatah “activists” (Ha’aretz’s word, not mine) kidnapped someone named Benjamin Bright-Fishbein, possibly from a coffeeshop in Nablus. Once they realized he was an American and not an Israeli, Brigit-Fishbein was handed over to the IDF. Brigit-Fishbein had been studying at Hebrew University and was in Nablus as a tourist. Now I say we live in […]

We spent a couple hours at ROCstock today, out in the Lucerne Dry Lake, 2848 feet above sea level (that’s high). Here are some pictures. Someone with a better camera took pictures too, and I’ll post them if I get a hold of them:

Hooray for technological confabulations (this post was actually authored on Sunday since I forgot about Friday abstract art blogging): Kandinsky’s On White II (1923). Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Find out more about Wassily Kandinsky.

So far, this is the most intriguing of answers to my question about how the Warner campaign lost it. I wonder where I can get another source on this (from the comments on my MyDD diary): Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t heard it myself, but Wes Clark – here in Vegas for the […]

[cross-posted at Daily Kos, MyDD and Calitics] A week ago, I wrote a diary here asking for suggestions for starting a new blog to cover the race in CA-26. Two nights ago, I watched and reloaded, slightly disbelieving the preliminary results in the Democratic primary in CA-26, David Dreier (R-Closet)’s district. Russ Warner, endorsed by […]

Browsing Wikipedia, I found this entry and this entry particularly intriguing.

There’s a few comments below lamenting Warner’s defeat. Does anyone have insight into what happened with the campaign? I’m reluctant to try to do a post mortem right now considering how far off I was (just scroll down and you’ll see). Maybe this will be a much more personal blog after all. Posting this for […]

That was unexpected:  Democratic Cynthia Rodriguez Matthews 12,836 47.0 Russ Warner 10,308 37.8 Hoyt Hilsman 4,172 15.2 Melvin C. (Mel) Milton 3,295 8.2 Sonny Sardo 10,692 26.9 * David Dreier 25,852 64.9 Clearly something is going on in this district. One piece may be who bothered to vote. Over at MyDD, Matt Stoller makes this […]
