"McCain blasted Barack Obama yesterday for not having voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. "

Like that's a bad thing?

Something is different.

Steve is spending too much time discussing problems with McCain and the GOP. Did Joan approve this?

Shouldn't the War Room be discussing Obama's electibility problems?

Obama Supporters Group to oppose his position on FISA legislation

Here's a link to the Barack Obama FISA Opposition group-Grassroots are the only thing that can prevent this bill from passing. Check it out. It's on his website and they are very aware of it. Help it grow. There's time to communicate the need for a Democratic stand on this issue.

Where's the compromise if Republicans have no complaints? Soft on terror = soft on Republican foreign policy.

War war room

and Steve Benen!

Love the posts. Love the format. More information, more pith. Used to visit Tim Grieve's posts several times a day. Salon, keep Steve on, and I'll do that again.

Please, can we keep Steve Benen?

I like short, to the point bulletins in the War Room that don't seek to invent new Obama problems, but hit John McCain, who is, I surmise the actual person we need to beat in November. I have nothing against Alex, but I do think he's better off writing long format pieces.

Even if Giuliani still thinks he'd have been better.

But what a breath of fresh air!

Steve, You Rock!

Please don't leave the War Room!!! (Sorry, Alex)
