Here I Thought It Was Chris Stampolis

This hit my e-mail box mere moments ago…
May 8, 2008 (Washington, DC) — MrSuper.org is a website which was created in March to debunk myths, offer insight and answer questions about the 2008 Democratic nomination process for President. The author, who has been posting under the pseudonym “Mr. Super” will announce his identity today.
The site […]

Don’t Worry, It’s Not a Big College Town

Years ago, a couple of us worked the U of A to register voters. I knew that one of the candidates that year had a program where they contacted newly registered voters. I thought it would be helpful to give them the names of the folks that we had registered that day, 110 of them.
Instead […]

I Endorse Thee

I relent.
My friend Sisto Abeyta is running for President of the Young Democrats of America. He’s been unsubtly asking me “where is the love?” since, unlike many of his supporters, I haven’t put him in my MySpace “Top Friends.” Who is he suggesting I bump off for him? Lalo Guerrero? The Furious Truckstop Waitresses? Amy […]

CDA Chief Crossing the Line?

Even though I don’t fit into any known “youth” category any longer, I still recieve missives from the various youth arms of the Democratic Party. I ran across this one from the College Democrats of America:
Dear College Democrat,
It is with great pleasure that I announce the one and only Senator Hillary Clinton will be joining […]

¡Pobrecitos!

I know that us liberals are supposed to be spectacular whimps compared to the oh-so-manly men that lead the Republican party. I mean, not one Democrat has ever shot a friend in the face while hunting captive quail.
But there is a strain of conservative commentary that makes them look like simpering three-year olds: the strain that […]

Remind Me Again?

I sometimes post on Daily Kos, and usually regret it.
If I have a post on here that I think has national interest, I’ll “crosspost” it to Daily Kos. I have to admit that part of the reason is to drive traffic over here.  Kos likely has more readers in Arizona than I do. Every time I […]

Those Young Whippersnappers

A bit of a followup to something I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. At this weekend’s DNC meeting, Young Democrats of America. The YDA, which officially has three at-large members on the DNC, has been demanding that state parties be directed to recognize goals for recruiting young delegates, just as they are directed […]

Democratic Establishment to Delegate Wannabes: Wait Your Turn, Kids

A bit of a scuffle is brewing between the Young Democrats of America and the Democratic National Committee. The YDA is asking the DNC to, gasp, follow their own charter when it comes to having a delegation that looks like the Democrats from the state that selected it.
A bit of background here: back in 1974, […]

Mo Was Right About those Circular Firing Squads

Back in the closing years of the last century, I was regional director for the Young Democrats of America. A month or so into my term, an e-mail hit the YDA listserv (something I started, one of the few tangible accomplishments I made during my brief brush with leadership in that group) announcing that Oklahoma […]

It’s Steny

Word from DC (not the comic company) is that Steny Hoyer has defeated John Murtha for majority leader.
Since I strive to find local connections, Hoyer got into a shoving match with our own J. D. Hayworth a few years back. I don’t know who actually came out on top there, but suffice it to say […]
