I love Carville....

"Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between."

-James Carville, quoted in A Democrat for Main Street, The Washington Post, 8/16/06

Get out the vote............AKA wake up and smell the corruption....

from www.restaurantfuel.com....a husband of an acquaintance's blog...who so eloquently put what I haven't been able to put into words:

"Political strategist Lee Atwater once famously told Richard Nixon that the path to victory was dividing the country in half -- and that Republicans would have the biggest half. Whereas Reagan and Bush I went through the motions of building consensus, George W. Bush has spent his entire time in office following the Atwater model. And now we're split, and I wonder if there's any way to reconcile the two halves. Listening to Bush campaign this week for embattled Republican incumbants, I can't help but think that this is a man who knows that he's only President to the Republican voters -- that he doesn't even pretend to be President to the whole country. He and his supporters don't believe that Democrats and non-conservative independents are their countrymen -- they see us as an enemy as irredemable as al Qaeda. It's like we've been split into two nations -- one of right wing extremes, and a disenfranchised one that contains everyone else."

Amen.
