I still have some holiday preparations (lots, actually) to work on today, but I wanted to repost something from a couple nights ago, because I haven't yet seen it addressed. Once upon a time I would have really appreciated a post about "what it's like at HQ", but since we are still struggling with this disconnect, it just doesn't have the same effect... Click my name for the thread "Ohio Urged to Veto Bill". Some highlight's I'd like to draw to your attention: What *is* this obsession with Ohio all of a sudden? Posted by Free Spirit at December 16, 2004 11:25 PM It's either overcompensation ("we can't mention the Ohio recount so here's the next-best thing we can do") or it's getting our attention focused on Ohio for something big that's about to go down. If I were a betting man I'd place my money on the former, not the latter. Posted by Oscar at December 16, 2004 11:31 PM Yes, they are trying to give the Ohio people something else to think about. Distraction. Except it's Ohio, right, so it is backfiring. Reminds me of framing. When you say "elephant" people automatically think of a big animal with floppy ears and a trunk. When you say "Ohio" people automatically think of voter fraud. Well, a group of folks around here do, anyway... So a day full of posts about Ohio is about the very worst thing you could do to distract anyone from the proposed voter fraud. --Toscha Posted by poemlessgirl at December 16, 2004 11:36 PM My theory is that they're caught between the strings... Posted by Oscar at December 16, 2004 11:39 PM My best guess, too, but it seems rather painfully obvious. Reminds me of little kids trying to play hide and seek...you know, where they hide in more or less plain site because they haven't quite figured out when other people can and can't see them? I mean, this is the organization that's supposed to take back the Democratic Party?

Posted by Dean^Nut_in_Sandy^Eigo at December 17, 2004 12:10 AM We simply asked a group of eager-to-blog senators to guest post on an issue that concerned both themselves and Governor Dean. Senator Hagan held a press conference with Governor Dean today, which we will be posting a transcript of tomorrow. Don't read into it too much.
