Plus Bill Clinton said "Brass" last night.

That was a great night last night. CSPAN's coverage was :Chicago accent: da bomb.

Morning, comrades!

I was voter #2 in my precinct this morning - keeping to a longstanding tradition of morning voting.

Alas, as I said at campaign headquarters last night, "I hope you appreciate that I'm missing Elizabeth Warren and the Big Dawg to be here tonight.

I did not phone bank...we switched to GOTV mode and I was out in the neighborhoods last night until midnight with "VOTE TODAY" door hangers to get on our supporter's doors.

Chemotherapy? What chemotherapy? (it is an off week...)

Bubba's speech was a thing of beauty. Wonky and riviting at the same time.

I swear, Watching on the 'Span is the best thing ANYONE can do. As I said last night -- it's wonderful to watch without the filter of the pundits-- Even ones I like (Dr. Maddow)
'
Last night, After the Bog Dog was done, We switched over to MSNBC and Rachel asked Steve Schmist what he thought of the speech. his reaction was hysterical. He said I wish WE had a speaker like that.

I have to see if there is a clip of that. it was priceless.

This was funny: Bloomberg fact checked him, and guess what? BAM! he was right!

I saw that last night, after the speech. That was a bit of a mess.


Comment by Raine on 09/06/2012 13:24:38
Oh HAY:
The country is unquestionably better off than it was in 2008. The economy has added 4.5 million private-sector jobs since January 2010; even if you subtract the vast job losses in the early months of President Obama’s term, before his policies went into effect, the country is still ahead by 332,000 private-sector jobs.

That level of job growth is close to the recovery following the 1990s recession, and it is actually stronger than after the early-2000s recession. But it doesn’t feel strong because the original hole was so deep and so many people are still suffering: 12.8 million remain unemployed.

Charlie Pierce!
Willard Romney was out there somewhere and he was being utterly eviscerated by Floyd The Barber. And the only people who look more ridiculous than he does the morning after are all those media brainiacs who were saying how smart the Republicans were being in "driving a wedge" between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. There is a reason you should be careful what you wish for.

Some interesting local commentary from John Kelleher.


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (CBS) – Elizabeth Warren hit prime-time TV last night with a typically passionate recitation of the anguish of the working classes and denounciation of the predatory practices of the ruling classes.

That’s her message, and she delivers it well.

But if you passed up the football game to watch it, Warren’s speech had one somewhat curious omission – any mention of her opponent, Scott Brown.
In a background briefing for reporters, a Warren campaign aide said the speech was supposed to be an endorsement of President Obama and his agenda, not a Massachusetts Senate race stump speech, although it’s hard to believe a name-check of her opponent would have been inappropriate.

But the move also tells you something about the Warren campaign strategy that’s been apparent for awhile.

She wants to nationalize this race, capitalize on the higher-than-normal turnout of a presidential race in a very blue state, and take advantage of the distaste many local voters have for the Republicans in Congress.

If November 6 is a referendum on them, Scott Brown is in big trouble. That’s why he’s so aggressively promoting the notion that he’s part of a bi-partisan solution, not part of the partisan problem.

I’ve heard Senator Brown disparagingly note this nationalization effort a couple of times, as if it was some sort of out-of-towner’s putdown of the locals, but he really has no grounds for complaint.

National backlash against health-care reform and squishy anti-terror tactics helped Brown win the seat in the first place two years ago, not to mention the national money that poured into his campaign.

If this all sounds like inside baseball, believe me, the outcome could turn on it.
Will those undecided voters decide to scratch an anti-Wall Street, anti-Republican itch, or honor another local tradition – keeping the likeable hometown incumbent on the job?

We’ll answer that one sometime late at night on November 6th.

Say now, a question for our blog code-brewer. (Sounds much nicer than code-monkey, doesn't it?)

Do you guys get all the weird gimpy quotes when cutting and pasting, or is it local to my machine? (see my post below - I have a lot of gibberish in there that I'm seeing.)

Any ideas?

Aww, now...."All politics is local". This has been hugely beneficial from both a networking point of view, and campaign experience. I am contemplating a run at City Council next time around...if my Counselor retires, I'm in, but I may take on an At-Large seat. (actually easier; I have the whole city to work with.)

There are special hiden formating characters in the text. Since the add a comment box in enabled to read all the mark-up tags etc from HTML it displays the fromating codes as gibberish. Try pasting your quotes into Notepad first then use the plain ASCI text from the open Notepad into the comment field.

Yeah the problem is when you copy from a web page using a different font, and they use special characters for double-quotes, apostrophes, etc., rather than the "lower 127" standard ASCII characters (the special characters look nicer, for instance opening and closing quotes). What Mondo said might work, but it might not. I try to replace all the quotes, apostrophes, and dashes with "standard" values from the keyboard.

Did we hear about this today?


Three of the four victims of a shooting in the French Alps were shot in the head, a French prosecutor has said.

A man, named by UK neighbours as Saad al-Hilli, 50, from Surrey, and an elderly woman were found dead in a car. A French cyclist, found nearby, was also shot dead.

Mr al-Hilli's wife was also killed, and a daughter, four, hid in the car for eight hours before police found her.

They were found by an ex-RAF officer, on a forest road near Lake Annecy.

Mr al-Hilli's wife was named by neighbours in Claygate as Iqbal, and the couple's daughters as Zainab, seven, and Zeena.

Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud said they were not looking for any more survivors.

"It was clearly an act of extreme savagery and it was obvious that who did this wanted to kill," he said.

The motive for the attack remains a mystery, he added


The victims are all Iraqi ex-pats....don't know if that means anything.

Okay.. just finished catching up on missed speeches.

Comment by Will in Chicago on 09/06/2012 15:34:13
Good morning, bloggers!!

I was amazed at the quality of the speakers last night. Elizabeth Warren was amazing and Bill Clinton showed why the GOP tried to drive a wedge between him and Barack Obama. My hope is that both Clintons will be showing up in Massachusetts over the next few weeks.
