Oh for the days I could sleep in until 11a!!! Now when I'm awake, I'm awake. **sigh**

LA Times: Huckabee Does A Flip-Flop On Cuba
As governor of Arkansas five years ago, Mike Huckabee joined a bipartisan chorus of politicians who concluded that the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba was bad for businesses. Now that he's a top-tier candidate for president, Huckabee has decided he favors the embargo...

Chicago Tribune's The Swamp: Giuliani TV Ad Questioned
Rudy Giuliani's newest television ad brims with some of his favorite campaign themes: the threat of Muslim extremism, the brilliance of Ronald Reagan and Rudy's own tough guy approach to fighting terrorism. It also seems to get its history confused.

Austin American-Statesman: Paul Turns Down Invitation to Seek Libertarian Party Nomination
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul turned down a Libertarian Party invitation on Sunday that could have kept him in the 2008 presidential race even if his long-shot bid for the GOP nomination fails.

Roll Call: Allen Contemplating '09 Gubernatorial Run
Although a recent Roll Call/Survey USA poll showed him to be at least competitive in a hypothetical match-up against the juggernaut that is ex-Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D), former Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) said last week that he is "definitely not interested" in a Senate run in 2008. (ed. note- Wasn't he supposed to be the Prez frontrunner right about now? hahahaha.)

The once-daunting Republican money machine has suffered yet another blow with the stunning retirement announcement by Rep. Jim McCrery of Louisiana.

Very cool. Somewhere George Allen was sitting in an office with his trusty noose on the wall, because, you know, somebody needs to honor "Southern culture and tradition."

They were for spinning for Thompson before they were against it

2008-01-12T20:26:22Z

From NBC's Chuck Todd:

DEARBORN, Mich. -- Quick update from the Thompson campaign. It turns out that both Liz Cheney and George Allen will now NOT be coming to Dearborn to spin for Thompson after tomorrow night's debate. The campaign had initially planned to have both here but scheduling conflicts prevented both from coming.

Both had conflicts? Simultaneously?

What, that Macaca association wasn't working for you? And why would Dick Cheney's daughter back out? You tell me.

George "Macaca" Allen for governor?

Guess who's looking for more embarrassing photo ops:

Novak:

George Allen, whose Republican presidential dreams were shattered by his upset defeat for re-election to the Senate in 2006, is considering a comeback by running for governor of Virginia in 2009.

Former governor Mark Warner, who has no record of racial insensitivity to haunt his run, will be running for Senate.

Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia, Mr. Allen.

Who cares about web video?

2008-01-12T20:12:29Z

Ask ex-Senator of Virginia George Allen, the former favorite for the Republican presidential nomination. Or Hillary Clinton, target of the famed Obama Big Blue takeoff. Or Fox News, outed as a right-wing propaganda front by Robert Greenwald, MediaMatters and the bloggers in a continuing campaign to provide people with a fair and balanced view of their screeds. Or Bill O'Reilly driven to distraction by films revealing his hate politics.

Political video on the web has already demonstrated its power – and its reach. And it's only just begun. Brave New Films has helped explore this new frontier. Now it unveils a new site that will provide progressive webvideo with a home that will enable filmmakers to display their wares, gain access to an activist audience, forge alliances with groups eager to use the videos in political campaigns. As progressives build an independent infrastructure of ever greater power and sophistication, webvideo – and Brave New Films – will be an essential and growing part of it.

George Allen Doesn't Like Black People

This is from the 2006 congressional election cycle. I like the use of music and graphics in this piece to tell a political story.
