Yes We Did

by Cara November 5, 2008

My only regret is that Obama’s grandmother didn’t live to see the moment above.  The victory is hers as much as anyone’s, if not more.

Reporting Back From Erie

by Cara November 3, 2008

Canvassing Erie, Pa was contradictorily both really exhausting and really energizing. It was a strictly GOTV (Get Out The Vote) operation, meaning that we were done trying to convince people to be on our side — the goal was to make sure that the people who are on our side cast their ballots.

Democrats Still Backing Anti-Choice Candidates

by Cara October 31, 2008

A few days ago the NY Times published an article about the unusually high number of anti-choice candidates the Democratic Party is running this election year: In fact, Mr. Bright is one of a dozen anti-abortion Democratic challengers the party has recruited to run for the House this year and has aggressively supported with millions [...]

McCain Doesn’t Seem Sure About Why McCain Should Be President, Either

by Cara October 25, 2008

by Cara October 18, 2008

Emphasis mine: Republican John McCain is facing accusations of using a false crusade against voter fraud to suppress legitimate votes as battles over who ought to [...]

John McCain: Openly Scoffing at Your Health

by Cara October 16, 2008

I believe that I speak for many American women when I say in response to last night’s debate (video below) that I do not want Senator McCain’s brand of “compassion,” and I sure as hell do not want his kind of “help.”  I do not need him to help me have the “courage” to let [...]

Campbell Brown: “Arab” is Not an Insult

by Cara October 14, 2008

Before a few weeks ago, I had never heard of CNN commentator Campbell Brown.  But her name seems to keep coming up lately, and the impression I’m getting is that she’s pretty cool.  Here’s some of her latest commentary about the “insults” that have been thrown at Barack Obama. Woman at rally: I don’t trust [...]

Palin Attacks Obama’s Record on Abortion

by Cara October 13, 2008

Apparently realizing that the whole racist “Barack Obama is a big meanie American-hating terrorist, and oh probably a Muslim too (oh no!)” line of attack was losing them more points than it was winning them — and you know, inciting hate-based violence — the McCain/Palin campaign has seemingly switched tactics again. On Saturday, Palin started [...]
