I don’t like cats, but i love creativity. And so I applaud the creativity of the creator of Henri 2 and the creators of the Cat Video Film Festival.

The video is actually pretty good, in spite of it being about a cat.

Someone did get a bounce out of the freakshow they called the Republican National Convention. And it was not Mitt Romney. Here is the new map:

We just might be getting past the period of basing Democratic policies and strategies on trying to avoid hurting the tender feelings of some mythological “centrist” voter.

*Well, not all as in ALL. Just every primary where I think I know enough to make a prediction. Some of which, invariably, will be wrong.

National Races:

U. S. Senate D’s: Tom Carper routs Keith Spanarelli. Over/under on Spanarelli: 12%.

U. S. House R’s: Tom Kovach routs Rose Izzo. Over/under on Rizzo: 11%.

Come inside for more, including, as the photo suggests, my prediction on the epic 11th SD race.

I’ve been thinking about how the Democrats have to worry about over confidence this election cycle while Republicans have to worry about everything else. How is it that this election can seem so one sided to me?

I meditated up at the DL survival-plex & gas fracking a go-go on that question, and it came to me. The GOP messed up when they FAILED to nominate Rick Perry.
