As most if not all of you now know, I've joined Jerome Armstrong and Chris Bowers as a full-time blogger over at MyDD.com. That means that my posting here has come to an end. It's been over two years of blogging at DemWatch, and I've enjoyed every minute of it (well, almost). Thanks to everyone who's interacted with me, supported me, argued with me, and become a friend. You've all made it

The names of potential candidates for the 2008 Presidential race are steadily piling up. Here's some of what's being said... Mark Warner "Warner's the guy in the background no one knows about," Nelson said. "But as a governor, people will give him a look."

"My first thought upon reading this: "Hmmm, time for Brit Hume to get fired." Hume's monumental heartlessness might be funny if it weren't

This morning's coordinated terrorist attacks in London were nothing short of horrifying. Though the death toll -- in the dozens -- was far smaller than those of 9/11 or Madrid, the well-choreographed nature of these bombings, taking place in one of the most important cities in the civilized world, reminds us all that our safety from those who wish us harm is not something to be taken for

So I haven't joined many of my friends on the right and the left going cuckoo over Sandra Day O'Connor's replacement. The main reason for that is that Bush hasn't nominated anyone yet. It's a bit silly to freak out over a nominee who hasn't been nominated yet, isn't it? There will likely be two Supreme Court vacancies during the second term of the George W. Bush Presidency -- O'Connor and
