Zell Miller's Press Secretary Defects for Kerry


Goddamnit, why have we not thrown that no-good Zell Miller out of the party yet? I mean it, since we don't have enough Democrats anyway to retake the Senate, just throw the faithless bastard out of the party or at least bar him from the party caucuses. Hell, even his flack is leaving him for John Kerry. We're a big tent, we can agree to disagree about many things, but when the SOB starts talking about working to elect a radical Republican, we can and should throw his ass out. (Via Heisod).

Sen. Zell Miller’s spokesman joins Kerry campaign

WASHINGTON — Georgia Sen. Zell Miller is working to re-elect President Bush, but his spokesman will soon be working to defeat him.

Anthony Coley, press secretary for the only Democratic senator to endorse the president, has signed on as the Southern communications director for challenger John Kerry.

Although Coley doesn’t start with the Kerry campaign until mid-April, he released a statement Wednesday — his last day in Miller’s office — that hardly resembles any of the pro-Bush press releases he has produced recently for his current boss.

New post-convention poll Results look good to me. Now, we have to keep them coming. Further down in the article, there is discussion of how Kerry is gaining ground as a person who understands the needs of people, and a person of character. Key problem is going to be keeping these issues in front of voters, when the Kerry campaign will have a finite amount of cash to campaign on.

On the eve of the convention, Bush led Kerry 48 percent to 46 percent. Among those most likely to vote, the race is tighter: Kerry holds a 2-point advantage over Bush in the current po...

Sometimes headlines just write themselves Like this one from the Washington Post today: Ex-FEMA Head Starts Disaster Planning Firm Michael Brown certainly has shown he can plan a disaster. Look at how awful Hurricane Katrina was. For preventing or fixing things afterwards, he's not so good.

Reading List It is a good thing to be married to a librarian. Our local system has a web-accessable catalog where I can put a book on hold. Depending on how many people are waiting for the book, in a few days to a few months, my wife comes home with the book I've requested. I was reading "A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market" by John Allen Paulos. It is the kind of book that makes mathematics of investing accessable to non-mathematical types (and some of us mathematical folks as well), even as he tells the story of his failed love affair with Worldcom stock. Of course, I set this aside as soon as I got in "Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth" by Joe Conason. This book takes all of the distortions of the right-wing media, the Bush-Cheney administration, and the Republican "conventional wisdom", and proceeds to refute them, citing facts chapter and verse. I think this book is great. But I've g...
