Articles of Impeachment

Dennis Kucinich brought articles of impeachment against George W. Bush today.

Why is no one talking about this yet? I am not hopeful that the attempt will be successful but if it gets a decent amount of support that will certainly change a lot of perceptions in the game right now. At the very least I expected to see the news on TPM.

Let's get excited!

Perhaps The Best Negative Ad Ever

I don't remember after which primary vote or caucus this happened but it was one that McCain won. I think it might have been SC. In his victory speech he gave his supporters some "straight talk." In that speech, which I saw here on TPM, he claimed that the Global War on Terror was not over yet and that there would be "more wars." He even repeated that last line. He was mocked for it on Fox. During the general I'm thinking that the democratic candidate should just make an ad with a clip of that speech, you could end it with an ominous voice saying "John McCain: more wars." Play it heavily in every state where support for the war is low (all 50?) and then just sit back and act presidential. Maybe raise some money and talk about hope and change. And not starting any new wars.

I'm not even sure you could call it negative so much as truthful. After all, it's just a recording of
what the man said in a speech after winning a primary. By rights you
would expect an ad with a clip of a candidate making a victory speech something he'd make for himself.

If such an ad were made and played I'd be a lot less worried about a McCain/Whoever candidacy.
