Camco Commented on Why Are the Democrats Letting Franken Twist in the Wind? by CVille Dem

Unfortuantely Deomcrats are Democrats and behave like them -- that is, wimpy.

How about Bernie M. for Commerce? Does he have any tax problems?

Schmidt would be fine with me, even though destor23 above makes a valid point. The thing is, Commerce Secretary is a powerless cabinet position, a throwback. It doesn't matter who O puts in there.

But President Obama better THOROUGHLY THOROUGHLY THOROUGHLY vet the next choice. This is getting ridiculous -- all these tax evaders -- and is just adding red meat to the neocon diet.

Good point. If we're going to keep fillibutering, do it for four days and follow the rules.

Nathan -- This is one of the best "Comment" sections I've ever read in TPM, because you're the only one that replies!

I wish more (or any other) bloggers on this site would actually reply to comments. Makes for truly interesting dialogues. You're continued discussion on this topic has caussed me to rethink the bailout "debate.".

Good work! Keep it up!

Camco Commented on Stevens Case 'Whistle-Blower' Revealed To Be FBI Agent by Justin Elliott

2008-12-23T05:07:52Z

I like "BVD"'s idea above the best.

Let's get some dough for Alaska, mourn the loss of a few citizens, and apply the money to rebuilding the remaining 49.

Camco Commented on With Key Phase In Recount Now Over, Franken Looks On Track To Win by Eric Kleefeld

2008-12-20T18:00:10Z

Please, please, please let this thing be over! By the way, when WILL it end? When will it become official? Nobody seems to know. I realize that both sides will go to court, but WHEN will a winner be declared? (Meanwhile, isn't it nice to watch Coleman's apparent victory slip away!)

Gee, Krugman inspires a lot of discussion.

I certainly like the idea of Obama going on a road show and laying the ground work for a huge stimulus plan regardless of when the official transfer of power occurs. The reality of course is that Obama (as predicted) is governing a lot closer to the center than most of us would like.

Great points! Thanks.

Dean Barker is right: we've got to spend BIG> There simply is no other choice.

Yes, to spend we have to borrow more (a lot more) put it all on the national crecit card. China recognizes that they are tied to us, and won't let us default. A lot of neocons are still saying we can only get out of this through draconian spending cuts, lest the country defaults, but they are wrong, wrong, wrong.

I say spend, spend, SPEND! If it's not enough, add more zeros to the check (to the left of the decimal point).
There is no other option. Rebuild our infrastructure, invest in green technologies, provide healthcare. Spend baby, SPEND!

Camco Commented on Virginia: What's Goin On Here??? by Camco

According to the map on nyt.com, those votes are coming in. Also, look how Florida has tightened. Michigan isn't starting off well either. Gulp...

Camco Commented on Running Man by Rotwang

2008-11-02T17:05:32Z

Obama himself is not the answer; what we should count on is that under an Obama administration political space will be opened. He might be centrist, but the can of worms he's about to open won't be. Given we're on the verge of the end of capitalism maybe now a new left will emerge with plans on remaking society!

Doubtful Obama will pick Roubini, but likely Roubini will have Obama's ear.
