Tuesday Tidbits

* James Tobin gives not going to jail again for phone-jamming Sununu to victory the old college try. I dunno. I'm sure once he's locked up there will be plenty to read.

* A question for Blue Hamsters: is it late enough in the game at this point that we ought to start paying attention to primary polling? If so, then CNN/WMUR has Clinton with a commanding lead, but one that's shrunk significantly since September. Richardson also had a huge jump:

Clinton: 36%
Obama: 22%
Edwards: 13%
Richardson: 12%

* Doddmania! Did Chris Dodd just call for an investigation of President Bush?

* Hey Charlie! How's that Main Street Partnership thingy working out for you? This headline says it all:

Retirements Push GOP To The Right: Of 17 Retiring Republican House Members, Eight Have Built Moderate Reputations

The article actually mentions Bass' loss in the previous cycle, so maybe I shouldn't even ask...

* (Wednesday Addition): Check out what "conservatives" most obsess about. Telling in so many ways.

Thanks. (0.00 / 0)

I am truly losing my mind. I have a few days off after today, so I'm in "Friday" mode.

This is the second time today I've had to make a change to my diary title.

OK, OK. I know its obvious that the parrot is on my nerves.

I can't believe it took me like 5 hours to figure this out.

Polly wanna cracker?

Poll: Clinton's lead shrinks in New Hampshire
"So, we've had a period that has really accentuated Sen. Obama's strengths and put some focus on Sen. Clinton's one big area of vulnerability."

Clinton's strong suit is health care. More than half of those polled in the CNN poll said Clinton would handle that issue best.

Health care. (0.00 / 0)

The only area in which she's got experience!

But, it's my sense the national conversation is about to change a whole lot. There's a mess in the Oval Office that needs to be cleaned up before it gets known as the offal office.

Oh, correction. George says she's got experience in front of the klieg lights. I heard it on the ABC evening news--they were doing damage control from Camp David.

ABC Evening News--TiVo anyone (0.00 / 0)

Though I didn't want to, I saw part of the Charlie Gibson interview with George and Laura last night. The version up on the web now has been re-edited to take out his comments about Hillary and other candidates.
Would be fun to retrieve it.

Where are new diaries? (0.00 / 0)

I know you've been "updated" by Soapblox, but what is happening to new diaries? Is my diary that I posted "lost" or will it be posted? Sorry, we're leaving for Thanksgiving today and wanted to make sure it got up on the site...

No, we should not start paying attention to polls yet. (0.00 / 0)

At least the Hillary tanked part? (0.00 / 0)

Can we bask in that for awhile?

One puts her ahead only by 9 points, te-hee.

I still think it's a toss up. (0.00 / 0)

But yes, we can revel in Hillary's meaningless lead in the meaningless polls becoming more meaningless.
