I've been calling this Tax Cuts deal the "Bad Deal". Hoping it'll catch on.

Progressive Hero Bernie Sanders (I-VT) (and friends) are mounting a real-live filibuster to fight against this Bad Deal.

A new Siena poll this morning shows Democrat Scott Murphy up by 4 points after trailing by 4 as recently as two weeks ago, with the election this coming Tuesday. For discussion of that poll, see Devtob and Paleo's previous diaries.

This diary, right here? This is a call to ACTION!

All right people, it's time to really step it up. This election will still be won on the ground. If we get our supporters out to vote, WE WILL WIN. If they don't vote, well, let's just not even think about that. Repubs have been saying all along that this race would be a referendum on President Obama's job so far (assuming that their guy with huge name recognition would crush the fresh face). Well, when we win this, we get to tell them to STFU. All right, enough chit-chat. On to business.

Follow me across the fold for locations of Scott Murphy for Congress Field Offices within the district, GOTV canvassing hours, online phonebanking info, as well as info on the efforts of other outside-the-district groups.

Montanans tend to be fiercely independent with a strong Libertarian streak. They also tend to like their guns. Both of these things could go a long way in ensuring an Obama victory (albeit with the help of a spoiler or two) in a state that George Bush carried by 21 points in 2004.

Pollster.com currently pegs the race at a 51.2-43.5 McCain lead, but I believe that that only begins to tell the story. Follow me below the fold for an analysis of recent MT polling trends, an explanation of why the current polls do NOT give us the whole picture, and how Montana is SERIOUSLY in play.

Sitting at your desk staring at your phone waiting for the text? Reading all the silly diaries that pop up trying to pass the time? Why not have a mojofest?

Occasionally I'll wander over to Redstate to see what sorts of asshattery they're up to over on the right side of the blogosphere. Usually it's just a bunch of BS, hatemongering, fearmongering, and various other types of mongering. But today, there's actually a diary up on their front page bashing that great Fair and Balanced hero, Bill O'Reilly. Snippets below the fold.

Let me start by saying that this probably won't be of too much interest to most people. I just wanted a place to collect my thoughts on my experience yesterday. To those of you still reading, first, a little bit about me: I'm the chairman of the Halfmoon, NY Democrats. We're a traditionally very Republican town in the northern suburbs of Albany, NY. I got involved with the local Dems a few years ago, and we're still trying to fill up the committee. Due to the lack of a strong Dem presence here, we were short on Election Inspectors, so I offered to help out. I took the day off, and ended up working as the only Dem inspector in my district, at a polling place with 4 districts.

I checked, but didn't see anything up for this fabulous video of Karl Rove making an ass out of himself that's floating around YouTube.

Check it out for yourself Here. Apologies for not knowing how to imbed YouTube vids. I know that ability was taken away during election season, but I thought it was back, yet I have no idea how to do it.

Edit:

Also apologies for a short diary. I just figured people should see this, and didn't see it anywhere in a search for Karl Rove.

After Dems swept their way through the state in November's election, the state's highest ranking Republican is now State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno (he also happens to be my State Senator). Last night, Bruno held a press conference to announce that he's being investigated by the FBI for some of his "outside business interests". Much more below...

Edit: I've changed the title of this diary by popular demand, plus the fact that it really doesn't matter. It used to be "GOD-DAMNED MOTHER FUCKING.... DAMMIT!!" That being said, kindly in the future don't waste the time of both of us by bitching about my titles. My friend (on his message board) just linked to a RedState post as poof that "The 2003 Tax Cuts were good for the country".

GHAAAAAAAAA! FUCKING HELL!!!

First the good news. Congressional Quarterly has upgraded the NY-20 race between Kirsten Gillibrand (D) and incumbent rubber stamp John Sweeney from "Leans Republican" to "No Clear Favorite". This is HUGE, and although I believe it may be a tad optimistic, will do wonders to further motivate those on the ground in this race.

This comes roughly a week after it was revealed that Sweeney was connected to disgraced former Congressman Mark Foley through the PROM committee (how cute...).

Holy Shit! Looks like the D-trip is finally coming through for Kirsten Gillibrand! According to Liz Benjamin on the Times Union blogs, they've dumped half a million dollars into ad buys for the final weeks of the campaign. While I imagine some of that money might be spent on the NY-21 race, it's fairly noncompetitive, and we'll retain that seat easily.
