Watching Dean on TV celebrating 3rd place
in Iowa embarrassed me. Watching John Edwards speak after his surprise 2nd-place finish was refreshing and hopeful. Edwards spoke to America during his 7 minutes of coverage by all the networks. Dean

How did Kerry win? The labor unions brought in thousands of people on Monday night to register as Democrats and vote for him. Democratic Party machine politics. This was not an election. It was a political organization process. How did Dean lose? Gephardt sliced and diced him in a desperate gamble to save his own political future. All Gephardt succeeded in doing was bring down both of them. Now Gephardt is out. Also the Dean campaign went to sleep with arrogance, predicting victory and not paying attention to what Kerry was doing.
Edwards is the winner. Not Kerry. Kerry cannot use those tactics to win a fair election. New Hampshire is an election - not a caucus. See how he does there. A link to John Edwards website is now added on the right. Kucinich? Ahhh, well he may not appear a serious contender but he speaks so well to issues. I can't let go of him.
In the end we need a candidate who can beat Bush. The differences between the candidates pale to insignificance after that need. I'm putting back the link to Kerry as a service. He has fudged words to hide his support for the war in Iraq. He now pretends he was against it.

Northwest Citizen is firmly for Howard Dean
for President. The most important single reason is that I think he can beat George Bush. I’m independent, never having belonged to either party. Some of my best liberal friends insist I’m a closet con
The second issue of The Town Crier is out
The online edition has the same articles as the four-page tabloid. It would help if the editor would put dates with the online articles so we know which are current. Editor James Johann prints an anal

We read that 35 US soldiers were “hit” in Iraq yesterday. When our Bellingham Herald does print war casualties on the front page, the choice of words seeks to minimize the tragedy. Hit. Did someone pu
Does FoxNews lie and distort the news
to fit their conservative agenda? Yes. On a daily basis. Here is a nice example.

The capture of Saddam Hussein today

If your reaction to reading those words is “dahhh” then pause a moment and consider what you thin
How much did George W know before 9/11
about the impending attack? Enough to have stopped the attack? The widow of a fellow killed in the attack has refused the $1 million from the government and is suing George W and his advisors. And she

A fun ‘Dean for President’ event
It was all fun, very brief, and is how big things get started. Of course they enjoyed the cake after, even without Dean.
The Northwest Independent News,
a weekly newspaper based in Bellingham, will start publication next Thursday, Nov 20. It will strive to report local news. Amazing. It will be a tabloid and be distributed throughout Whatcom County. Y

It is really hard to replace an incumbent
Those not sure just vote for the person in office, preferring a sure thing to an unknown. I give my respect to those who took the challenge and ran against entrenched incumbents. Especially Brett Bonn
You would never learn that from the Herald
Sunday’s Herald front page story on the mayor’s race again showed us how to skew reporting to favor your candidate. John Stark does this type of reporting on a regular basis. His story lists controver
