No Organized Party
You have to love the opening sentence of this Politico article, Dems Seek to Avoid Meltdown.
Those people who believe all problems have solutions may be unfamiliar with the inner workings of the Democratic Party.
The article is about the upcoming Rules Committee meeting to settle the questions still surrounding the Michigan and Florida delegations to the Democratic convention this year. Good luck to them, I wouldn't want to have to make that call.

Dems Rising
From Gallup Polls:
GOP Identification in 2007 Lowest in Last Two Decades
The percentage of Americans who identified as Republicans in 2007 is the lowest of any of the 20 calendar years since 1988 that Gallup has conducted its interviewing primarily by telephone. An average of 27.7% of Americans identified as Republicans, based on more than 26,000 Gallup interviews in 2007. The previous low in Republican identification was 28.1% in 1999....

Caucus Training
I went to a caucus training last night, held by the JeffCo Dems. The Colorado caucuses will be held on Feb. 5th, and this was to prepare new people for the paperwork and organization of the caucuses. We had to do math! I am glad I had my Palm Pilot with me.
The meeting room was packed, must have been 150 people there - I couldn't quite tell as there were standees all the way out the door. I was kind of on the youngish side of the crowd, which surprised me, as I am not youngish at all (54). The regulars were quite pleased to have such a full house. I think the Democrats in Colorado aren't used to being such a majority yet, and of course it's growing. Everyone's excited about the Convention which will be in Denver later this year.
The funniest moment was when we were talking about the resolutions to consider for the party platform, and the chairlady was using the example of impeaching George Bush, and when she was explaining how to do the vote, of course, as soon as she said "Do you want to impeach George Bush?" the whole room shouted "Yes!".
It was nice to be among my people.

The best question of the night
Unfortunately, I don't think it will have the impact it should.

Biden
Watching the debate tonight, I have to say to Joe Biden that the very definition of insensitive is pushing a mining widow to one side in order to argue with another candidate about Pakistan.
That's stupid shit, and just plain mean.
