Fred Thompson and the GOP’s Messiah Complex

Published by Dave May 30th, 2007 1 Comment

Ryan wrote last week at the NNN about the opening for Chuck Hagel in the Republican electorate. The meat of the argument: Iowa Republicans (and Republicans in general) are actually quite against the war. At least when you ask them about it as an issue. But Republicans have been rabid and cultlike in their support [...]

Staying True “Blue”

Published by Dave May 29th, 2007 3 Comments

In order to win as a Democrat in Nebraska, you must act like a Republican, talk like a Republican, and vote like a Republican.

While we were bringing in a Presidential candidate to Omaha, Nebraska, another potential candidate was holding a fundraiser on Friday – Senator Chuck Hagel. Ostensibly for a Senate reelection bid, Hagel brought in some prominent Republicans from around the country, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell had some interesting comments to the Lincoln Journal [...]

I want to thank Nebraska Young Democrats and the Young Democrats of America for a very successful Spring National Conference this weekend.
