So, can I see the good Senator anytime soon?

[TayTay]

Why he just might be on tv tomorrow, talking about the '08 primary.

Say, in the 1200 - 12:30 pm slot on MSNBC
And again on MSNBC after 7:00 pm tomorrow night (with Keith!)

Also, their is a hearing in the Senate Finance Committee tomorrow AM about health care. FYI is all.

1. Sounds like the Senator has a busy day

Thanks for the heads up.

2. You mean he's basically going to be ALL OVER THE TV...

Thanks, Tay Tay. :)

3. We need him to explain results, expectations, and comeback from Pastor overkill.

Actually saw our tall guy today as he dashed by at the DSCC event in NY. (Got a free ticket, otherwise pricey). With roadblock repub challengers, thought I'd see you, Tay, along with the other staff.

Obama looked tired on MTP, and he's being quadruple teamed, the onslaught now 2 months. A miracle he's standing. How do we explain loss or less than stellar results?

Stephanie Tubbs saying to NC it's alright to vote Hillary, loss of memory of race baiting by Billary, and Bill all over the rural areas.

We had Philly suppression we can't talk about, accounting for at least a few percent. Now in IN we have a voter purge in NW IN, of approx 1.1 million, mostly AA and Gary, Indiana. Here we go again. Also Microvote machines that have been decertified, and another ES&S iVotronic that was target of a Dan Rather report. Accounting for 18,000 lost votes in FL in 2006, as well as expose of manufacture in Phillipines, where monitor is shaken for quality control. If no noise, it's approved.

5. At this point all we can do is hope for the best. n/t

6. Re: Obama on MTP. The snippets I saw were fantastic. This video is a great montage:

7. On the Lake County purges - I really doubt they were doing anything other than clean up

These are very very Democratic areas and they likely do have lots of record problems. The problem in believing that HRC in those machines would cut real voters in those areas is that they depend on those voters in the local elections that mean more to them. The fact is that this is an area with party machines that in some cases rival Chicago's Daley machine.

In the state the area is known as "Da Region", short for the Calumet Region. I grew up there and didn't really know the area's reputation till I went to college and a girl who became one of my best friends quickly left and avoided me after I said I was from that area when a group of all all first met in the dorm. I do get your concern and of greater concern to me is that the son of an ex- East Chicago mayor's name came up in one of the Penn stories. I think the Hammond guy might be HRC as well - but there were many region people listed with Obama in that list posted a week or so ago.

Caveat - most of my knowledge is about 30 years old - though I read stuff when I'm with family.

8. Remember this area's votes come in late - they're on Chicago Time

aka Central Daylight Savings Time - while much of the state is on Eastern. (though Indiana is weird because part of it doesn't go on daylight savings time.)

9. GOTV is party machine, usually standard disenfranchisement.

We can't verify the electronics at all. The problems will be added to this year by the Voter ID requirements, databases, electronic poll books, and the purging. Here in NY it was 600,000, which most likely is clerical error. But now centralized, the database work is usually farmed out to a private company and their data input.

Given the provoisional ballots, voters still have no assurance they'll be counted, but game changing doesn't really happen after the media announces the winner.

Now we have Clintonistas playing with expectation, so they can declare a win in NC.

4. Oh yeah! More reason to watch MSNBC tomorrow. The more Kerry the better.

I wish I could be around for the SFC hearing tomorrow, but alas, the pocketbook needs to be filled.

[wisteria]

10. Did Senator Kerry make these appearances yesterday?

i haven't been able to find anything on them if he did.

[rox63]

11. I saw the post-7:00 PM MSNBC appearance

He looked great, and did a good job supporting Obama.

[TayTay]

12. Wed, May 7th,

I would keep MSNBC on. I don't have any specifics, but I think appearances are possible today. When I hear something, I'll post it here. (Some things come together with very short notice.)
