A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS BEFORE TURNING IN FOR THE NIGHT: RICK PENBERTHY, JOHN MURTHA, SAM SEDER, TAYLOR MARSH

I hope you got to join me on Saturday for the awesome q&a with Rick Penberthy at Firedoglake. If you missed it, that link leads to the archive. We do one with a progressive challenger every Saturday. This coming Saturday will be Coleen Rowley from Minnesota. One of the people who was at the q&a Saturday was Air America superstar Sam Seder. (After my angry attack on dodgy loud-mouth Ed Schultz this morning I can point to Sam as my idea of what a radio talk show host should sound like.) Anyway, after seeing Rick in action on FDL Saturday, Sam invited him on to his show. That'll be tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. Rick is going to take a district no one at the DCCC ever even heard of and turn it blue-- with our help.

Best writing anywhere on the net today was Taylor Marsh's report on the vicious rightist attack on John Murtha. If you want to see how the Republican Party smear machine is utterly destroying the American political system and why these people must be completely crushed by anyone with an ounce of patriotism in their being, please read Taylor's incredible piece.
