This is big - Joe Klein of Time |
|
He sounds a bit sheepish about it, but Joe Klein has come up with the same theory we have and is running it by some Dem leaders! Thank you Joe for reaching out to people we don't have direct contact with! Now we need to build a bridge to Joe. Here's the link: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1725678,00.html

Now we're starting to bridge over into the MSM (I guess Time would fit into that category). And, Klein is a regular talking head on the Sunday shows and with Olberman and others. Wonder if he'll get questions about this as he shows up on some of those shows. As he says, the scenario has to develop with some (perhaps) improbable conditions; but, as he says, this has been a more than unusual primary season to this point, so why not some more unusuality.
Great find, Andrea. I've got to believe this article might have tickled some folks over on the Primaries thread, but I don't have time right now to check over there. If anyone sees it there, please cross post so I can maybe do some more "mining" of Goreniacs to our cause.

2. I'll have time later to check for that and |

if I don't find it, I think I'll post it. I also think it would be a good idea for us to write Joe Klein, thank him and ask him to keep following up on this. I'll do that and I hope others do, too.

I searched and it wasn't posted, so I posted it over at GD : P (avoiding the sticking out it's tongue smiley by spacing). Please head over there and K & R it for me! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5280708

5. I have to get out of there |

I have work to do! And I'm starving! Some of them are turning around and getting more reasonable about it now. I love it when my tenacity and insistence on rationality have that effect!
I should know better than to post something when Rod is offline.
I was just eager to get it up because it had just been put up at Time - per Google it was one hour old when I found it.
All those posts and only 3 recommends! Darn it.
Please somebody jump in.
One other thing, what is an SJC? Someone called me that.

sort of. You think I'm going over there. Yikes!! You are tenancious, I'll say that. My hide isn't that thick; I would have turned tail after the first couple of nasty cracks. And no, I have no idea what a SJC is. Maybe you want to PM him and ask.
It is much more lovely over here in Gore land. I'll be off again for a while, but later today I'll do some "mining" on the earlier thread that talked about Gore - and was quite a bit more peaceable. I don't think there's much to mine from the Klein thread over at Primaries.

No way I am going to engage him at all, ever.
There might be a couple to mine there unless you already have them.

8. BTW, couldn't you at least give me a rec, buddy? |
|
That won't put you in the firing line.

I know more than I do. I'm not sure what a rec. is. I just began to realize what you meant by "kicking" something. I'm still pretty new around here. Sorry.

Look at the little grey line across the bottom of the OP - 4th item from the left says recommend. Please?

I'm a slow learner. Just did a rec. You're up to 9 or 10 now, I think. Do you get a prize? Can I share in that prize? BTW, got another CA recruit for research tonight. So, you see, I have been doing something today.

17. You've been doing a lot |
|
just like every day. That's why I always forget that you are relatively new. With five recs, you make it to the Greatest page. The more recs, the more attention. So, in a sense, you do share in the prize.
Good going on the CA recruit. That's a big, important state. We can use all the help out there we can get.

Now it's got four - did you do it real quick, or was that somebody else? Hopefully if was somebody else and then with yours, I'll have five.

14. OK, the thread is a bit more calm now |

It's safer to jump in and I would still like some help!
Up to 8 recs now.

18. I was just at the Yahoo site |
|
where's there a politics story about Hillary fudging all sort of things. But, along the side, as a teaser/ad, was a link to the Gore column by Joe Klein. So, that's going to drum up a bit more interest and an easier place for all the Yahoo users to find the story.
