I got this in my email. When you get a letter from Carville, you know your getting a snow job.

They're heckling the President of the United States from the floor of Congress. They're turning town halls into shouting matches. They're comparing health insurance reform to fascism.

Heck, if crazy were a pre-existing condition, the GOP wouldn't be able to get insurance.

But did President Obama stoop to their level? Of course not. He stood before Congress and told the American people why his health care plan is the change we need. He hit a home run.

But while a home run can get you the momentum, it doesn't always win you the game. For Democrats running for Senate in 2010, this speech was a beginning, not an end.

That's why we need to support the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The DSCC is coming up on an important goal, and we need your help to elect senators who will protect the American people, not pander to the right-wing fringe. Meeting our $3 million goal is so important, that your gift will be matched by a group of senators, doubling your impact.

President Obama spoke to our highest ideals. But I want to speak to political reality.

We've got a lot of Democrats up for re-election in 2010. They know that the moment they take a stand for reform, a whole lot of special interests are going after them like hounds on a fox. That means tens of millions of dollars of negative ads and "astroturf" campaigns.

When the howling starts, our people need to know we have their backs.

That's why we have to hit them where it hurts - by giving Democrats the resources they need to keep winning elections and making change. Our goal is $3 million by Sept. 30. Help us meet our goal today, and your gift will be matched.

I've been called a Ragin' Cajun for a long time, so it's not often that I'm lumped in with the calm, collected folks. But the right-wing talk show hosts - and their Congressional cronies - have taken "no" to a whole new level.

So, one rational person to another, let me tell you something: Thanks to President Obama and our majority in the Senate, we have the chance to make change that lasts. But if we assume that one speech solves everything, if we decide to sit this one out, we're asking for trouble.

Because if we don't say yes, we know who'll say no.

Sincerely,


James Carville

There is a season for snow

There is a season for snow

Every season is snow season in Washington....

~~life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain~~

I suppose you mean Washington, DC. And not the State of Washington. Although I imagine there is plenty of snow in Washington's State Legislature.

like Obama's speeches

They're heckling the President of the United States from the floor of Congress. They're turning town halls into shouting matches. They're comparing health insurance reform to fascism.

Completely true.

Heck, if crazy were a pre-existing condition, the GOP wouldn't be able to get insurance.

Completely true about SOME of the Republicans, too.
