No way ! Is this the Sunday (Sat) Surprise Rush was talking about ?
1. Dog bites man; and
2. Who cares?
The opinion leader model of political communication was shattered, then obliterated a few years ago. Would someone please tell the “major” newspapers? Oh, they’re all dead? OK then.
I just got up to Martha Coakley's campaign HQ to help her win Tuesday's crucial special election. I have to tell you -- this isn't like anything Massachusetts has ever seen.
It's happening right after the holidays, so a lot of people haven't even heard about it. Meanwhile, the same guys behind the Swift Boat ads are taking over the airwaves to distort Martha's record, and the same far-right tea-party crowd that's attacking President Obama is funding her opponent.
The stakes in this race are incredibly high. If we don't hold this seat, a right-wing Republican will hold Sen. Ted Kennedy's old seat until at least 2012 -- and we'll lose a crucial vote in the Senate for health reform and the agenda we fought so hard for last year.
That's why we're going all out in Massachusetts with a massive effort to lock up a Democratic victory. But we can only afford to keep this battle up against the far right through Election Day if folks like you chip in.
Please donate $5 or more to help us make Martha Coakley the next senator from Massachusetts.
Democratic ads are highlighting the key differences between Martha, a long-time public servant and one of the nation's best attorneys general, and her extreme Republican opponent who would walk in lockstep with Mitch McConnell and national GOP power brokers.
And our organizers are engaging volunteers by the thousands to make sure Obama voters make it back to the polls.
But we need your help to keep it going. Please donate $5 or more to the Democratic Party to support our work, including our efforts to elect Martha Coakley:
Let's win this,
Hari
Hari Sevugan
Press Secretary
Democratic National Committee
Funny read.
They seem to be making a very good case for electing him. I don’t think this is going to help Coakley at all in the current political environment.
Did you read the link under the heading? A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative.
He is for - against wasteful spending
He is for - against higher taxes
He is for - against Islamic terrorists
He is for - against social control of healthcare
Way I see it, he's for plenty of things. The things I care about.

I was being sarcastic/satirical myself.
NOOOOOOOOoooooo....!!!!1!11!
lol
I can’t believe you! I thought this one was going to make it to at least 20 posts before people rubbed their eyes and gave this post a second look. LOL
Sorry, John. Not buying that this is satire. Not this time.
They also endorsed Obama, which got us into this mess in the beginning. They also endorse anything with a K in it.
Means nothing but they don't know that yet.
The real issue will be turnout. If the weather is bad, the libs call in sick and pull the covers over their heads.
We shall see.......I can't call it.
“the editors wrote. “He’s against wasteful spending. He’s against higher taxes. He’s against the Islamic terrorists. He’s against social control of healthcare. But what is he for?”
That pretty much covers it in my book.
BTW John, when you post a satire it should only have a small relationship to reality. When all the satire is true, it becomes a real news piece....LOL
