| Trapper John has a comment period for the GOP cattle call below this post. I hadn't realized that I haven't done of these for the Democratic side since June 1, so I see no harm in running both the Democratic and Republican cattle calls concurrently. Last edition's results: Clinton, Edwards, Obama, Richardson, and the rest. Remember, my |

| Psst, Biden? When a widow who lost her husband in a tragic job-related disaster asks you question in a labor forum, you don't blow her off. Although really, if any widow asks you any question, it's still best not to blow her off. |

| "We need a consensus." This is what Joe Biden said a little while ago, when asked by Keith Olberman if he would appoint a Republican to head up the Pentagon or the Department of Homeland Security. I don’t have the exact language, but he seemed to imply that nothing would work unless it had significant support from Republicans. I was |

| After the stunningly arrogant and inaccurate claim by Rudy Giuliani yesterday, comparing himself to ground zero workers: I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I'm one of them. ...today Giuliani decided to explain what he really meant: I think I could have said it |

| Rudy Giuliani on Thursday: "I was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers. ... I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I'm one of them." Backlash today: His statement rang false to Queens paramedic Marvin Bethea, who said he suffered a stroke, |

| Republicans still need a savior. Keep in mind, organizers hoped for 20,000 straw-poll participants today, and the total was just over 14,000. Eight years ago, nearly 24,000 Republicans took part in the event. Come on Newt and Dick -- you know you want to get in... |

| It sort of feels like I'm blogging all Giuliani all the time, but it's hard to resist when there's so much good material. From a long profile in the New Yorker (well, duh, of course it's long, it's the New Yorker): "Petty and vindictive" is the assessment of one of Giuliani’s most reliable foils, Stephen DiBrienza, a former City |

| Last night was the first ever presidential debate focused on LGBTQ issues. Dems and Republicans were both invited. Unsurprisingly, none of the Republican candidates attended. Bill Richardson didn't win any new gay rights fans.Jeralyn thinks Obama flubbed it, Edwards continues to fumble toward supporting full equality, and Hillary did pretty well. |

More recently, that same campaign has done some polling of New Hampshire voters via Peter D. Hart Research Associates & Mclaughlin and Associates. While there's some data about the candidates (not |
