John McCain has a zero rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood. Here’s why:
If you believe in a woman’s right to choose, you shouldn’t vote for John McCain.
The Hug
The Winner
We have a nominee, at last. His speech last night was smart and thoughtful as always. Now let’s get down to work.
And how much do I love that he took his speech to the convention center where the Republicans will hold their convention? I love it a lot. He’s run a formidable campaign. It’s a pleasure watching them maneuver.
Edit to add: Boy, McCain should have stayed off the air last night. His speech was terrible and his crowd was tiny, but it looked even worse than it was when followed by Obama, who is one of the most gifted speakers of our time.
UPDATE: Here’s the winner’s speech from last night. It’s very good.
John McCain’s Health is Terrible
Have You Noticed?
The loyal Bushies are all over the place attacking Scott McClellan’s new book. Dana Perino said it was “sad”. Karl Rove said McClellan sounded like “a liberal blogger”. Ari Fliesher said “it didn’t sound like him”.
But the one thing they don’t say is that McClellan is wrong or lying in his accusations.
UPDATE: Well, of course they aren’t saying he’s lying because they know what he’s saying is true:
Feeling for Scott McLellan. Nice getting savaged for saying what everyone knows to be true anyway.

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.
Not Webb, please
One suggestion I hear a lot is that Obama should pick Senator Jim Webb for his Vice President. I know why people look to Webb; he’d be an excellent pick in so many ways. But we really need him in the Senate, where he has turned out to be a sharp, thoughtful, effective legislator. Don’t pick Webb, please!
