Orcinus Fundraiser

January 30th, 2008

Dave Neiwert is holding a fundraiser for Orcinus, his blog. If you have the extra scratch, donating some to him would be a good idea. Dave is not just a great writer, he is a top notch reporter. There is no one who covers the eliminationist right better. he has a deep understanding of right wing hate groups that comes form years of studying and reporting on them. His blog is a shiny example of what a dedicated and talented reporter can do given the freedom to follow a story in depth. Supporting that is well worth the money. You can donate here.

Edwards Out

January 30th, 2008

People in Edwards campaign are confirming to CNN and CNBC that Edwards will announce he is leaving the race at noon today in new Orleans. I was hoping that Edwards would stay in the race longer. I realize, despite his being my first choice, that he probably could not win. But he dragged the Democratic race much further to the left than it would otherwise have been and I felt that as long as he stayed in the race, he could continue to have that effect.

Now I have to decide who to vote for in a week.
