I can't blame the media, I guess, for ignoring this story. I did. Even though Larwyn kept feeding me Gateway Pundit links.

I can't ignore it anymore.

36% Ashamed To Be A Democrat

Yep, Zogby has confirmed Democrats are ashamed to be democrats:

We asked, are you proud or ashamed of your political party, and 71 percent of the Republicans said that they were proud, which is not good. That means some 20 percent are not proud, are ashamed or not sure. But for the Democrats it was 64 percent who said that they were proud - meaning one in three are ashamed

A Salute to those fine men and women of 1st Bridgade/34th Infantry, who made a banner in answer to Kerry.

Columnist Stephen Morse of the Daily Pennsylvanian greeted Bob Casey with a few questions yesterday when Casey arrived to speak at the University of Pennsylvania. Morse tried to get a comment from Casey about the cancellation of John Kerry's scheduled appearance with Casey. Morse also asked Casey questions about what Morse views as Casey's underreported pro-life stance.

Morse reports that for his efforts he got an elbow to the stomach from Casey campaign spokesman Larry Smar:

I decided to leave the media pack and go off on my own. I was met with nothing less than Larry Smar obnoxiously covering my camera with a folder, accusing me of working with Virginia Davis (Rick Santorum's press secretary) and an off-camera elbow to the stomach. Thanks Larry!

Morse has posted video of his encounter with Casey and Smar (sans the elbow to the stomach) at the link above on The Spin, site of online comments by the Daily Pennsylvanian's columnists.

The U.S. government has expressed concern over "mounting evidence" that Syria, Iran and Hezbollah are planning to topple the government of Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora.

At the same time, Walid Jumblatt, longtime leader of the minority Druze community in Lebanon, says that Syria is sending arms to Hezbollah without impediment. "As long as the Syria-Lebanon border is not being monitored effectively, the flow of weapons will continue and there will be instability," Jumblatt said during a visit to Washington.

He added that the image of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has soared in the Arab and Muslim world because of the tough resistance his fighters put up against Israel, although Nasrallah still does not command anything like majority support in Lebanon.

I guess that's why those Syrian arms are so important.

Get on the phone

It is time to get on the phone.

While sending money to candidates will help them out now, what will help even more is calling voters. You can help.

The RNC has put together a little project and turned it into an inter-blog competition. Let's see which Right of Center Blog can call the most voters and encourage them to vote.

It's very easy.

Go here. You'll provide your contact information and then, on the screen, you'll see the name of an individual to call and check boxes for once you've called them.

It's time to Get On The Phone.

Go try it out here.

BREAKING: Kerry pulls list of Democrats he's campaigned for from his website
The former Presidential nominee is ratcheting up his efforts to protect Democrat candidates from himself.
(Not to worry, Redstate has the cached page)

snip:

The organization Fidelis America recovered the deleted page, which indicates that he raised and/or contributed $3,173,000 to 18 Senate candidates and $1,058,000 to 20 House candidates. Bob Casey, Jr. was the top recipient of funds among Senate candidates, collecting over $586,000 from Kerry, and Tammy Duckworth, was the top recipient of funds among House candidates, collecting over $209,000 from Kerry.

Included in the removed portion of Kerry's website are two candidates pictured in uniform, along with three known veterans. Where are they on this -- besides seeking shelter for themselves, and abandoning their fellow soldiers who Kerry so insulted?

Winning Small
WISDOM OF THE FOUNDERS:

Majorities in Congress aren’t formed by the national zeitgeist, as Mr. Rove cheerfully points out. They are built one race at a time. And in dozens of close contests this fall, the outcome will be determined largely by one often-overlooked minority group: the mostly white and mostly conservative voters who live in America’s small towns.

Residents of rural areas make up only a fifth of the country’s population. That’s a little less than African-Americans and Hispanics combined. But unlike voters in those minority groups, small-town whites are often kingmakers in national politics.

In 2004, they voted for George W. Bush by nearly a 20-point margin. Newspapers ran headlines that baffled their urban readers: “Rural Values Proved Pivotal,” “Conservatives in Rural Ohio Big Key in Bush Victory,” and “G.O.P. Won With Accent on Rural and Traditional.”

This year, those same right-leaning small towns make up a major voting bloc in a half-dozen make-or-break Senate races, like those in Missouri, Montana, Tennessee and Virginia. They also dominate battleground House districts throughout the country, from Idaho to northern New York. If rural America embraces Republicans with the same fervor it did two years ago, Democrats will almost certainly be denied a majority in the Senate and may fall short in the House.

In part, the electoral importance of small towns reflects a profound rural bias hardwired into our political system. The Constitution grants two Senate seats to each state regardless of its population. As a consequence, a majority of senators are elected by voters in 26 sparsely settled states that together contain less than 18 percent of the country’s population.

Mr. Mann's own book on rural America suggests why the GOP will never lose the filibuster electorally.

PURITY VS. ELECTABILITY:
Abandoning the See-Saw of Centrism (Sally Kohn, November 2, 2006, AlterNet)

If you listen closely this election season, you can hear the sound of Democratic candidates scraping their bottoms in a hasty rush toward the center. But the reasoning is unclear. In a political climate where once-preposterous, archconservative ideas are now the status quo, shifting the political center of balance to the middle would only aid that Right-wing tilt. As the center of politics is masqueraded as the new left, the right becomes the new center.

If Democrats seem generally allergic to articulating moral convictions and standing up for what they believe, election season exacerbates this condition.

http://www.alternet.org/story/43787/

The problem is that their convictions are amoral and they're running in a moralist society, which is why they have to keep their ideology so carefully hidden in order to be competitive.

Iraq Set To Condemn Saddam, as U.S. Vote Nears (ELI LAKE, November 2, 2006, NY Sun)
http://www.nysun.com/article/42757

Two days before Americans vote in congressional midterm elections, a court in Baghdad could deliver a boost to President Bush's party — a guilty verdict and even a death sentence for Saddam Hussein.

On November 5, the Iraqi High Tribunal is scheduled to deliver a verdict against the deposed Iraqi dictator and his co-defendants for their role in the 1985 murder of 148 Shiite Arabs in the town of Dujail. The decision would mark the Iraqi court's first verdict against Saddam after more than two years of proceedings, three changes in chief judges, and the murder of four defense lawyers.

The decision could dominate the November 5 and 6 news cycles before the November 7 midterm elections in America, where the Iraq war has become a political loser for Republican candidates at the state and federal levels.
