New wapo would say nothing because Nixon's spying would be seen as a homeland security issue.

Thanks for that link. We will never know how much the "surge" of troops worked and how much the Iraqi people simply got sick of all the death and destruction. The bush administration would never tell the truth about anything and are only too happy to take credit when it is not due. We have been paying the sunni tribal chiefs as well as al sadr to keep them happy. And the violence had lessened considerably even before the surge.

The Appalachian people who voted for Hillary were mainly voting for WJ and the Clinton name, IMO, and that would be the best use of him for Obama, I believe.

My contribution is Andrew Rice who is running for Senate against Jim Inhofe. He has a blog on huffpo today.

I don't know how much much of a chance he has, but there's always hope. He's raised a good bit of money, so that should help.

Would it be more effective to concentrate our efforts on the really big msm in the beginning? The AP might be a good place to start given their obvious bias. Local resources frequently take their cues from the parent. That's not to say individuals shouldn't contact their local media, but at the project level it seems more efficient to concentrate on the real perps.
Questions that come to mind: In all honesty are we going to keep tabs on unfairness (if any) aimed at McCain, for instance, and if we don't can we escape being seen as partisan? Are we going to operate as a group or as individuals? Will we have a clarion call for action and if so, who sounds the cry?
A republican for Obama on my local city for Obama list has taken it upon herself to contact Fox sponsors about some of the slurs on Fox *news*. She has received responses from some, mostly thanking her but otherwise noncommittal. Carnival cruise line, however, said too bad. Fox viewers fit their user profiles and they would continue to advertise on Fox.
I wish we had a home of our own. Is there anyone who can furnish a web site?

"For Chelsea"? I hardly know what to say. I imagine that WJ is encouraging the Denver Group and others. He can't be happy that he is considered a complication to her vp chances as Eric reports in addition he's generally p.o.'d at Obama for a number of things.

I hope you're right, js, but I tend to think that someone, if not Hillary, then her supporters are going to try to stir up some trouble. I hadn't heard that she released her delegates. That's encouraging, but I'll breathe easier if the convention goes well.
