Long day...

It's been a long day. I have to admit that I am still recovering from last night's Game 7 clincher. The fact alone that hardly so-called "playoff expert" said that the Cardinals would be in the LCS, let alone, the World Series, is unbelieveable.

The St. Louis Cardinals are red-hot right now and so are the Detroit Tigers.

My posting on MLB's goof has been picked up by several blogs and forums in the past 12 hours or so.

Congressman Tom Allen (D-ME) expects a DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY in January 2007.

YouTube is getting a rise in political videos.

Larry Sabato recieved a heads up from Governor Mark Warner before Warner exited the presidential race.

The following is from the Yarmuth campaign and sent to their listserv:

Northup’s claims:
“Yarmuth and his family own 150 restaurants.” -FALSE
The restaurants pay “5.15 an hour.” -FALSE

THE TRUTH
● John and his brother own 16 restaurants, all in the state of Florida.
● Florida’s minimum wage is $6.40 per hour, 20% more than Northup’s claim.
● The only employees who work for $6.40 per hour are servers in training, the others make at least $7 per hour.
● Anne Northup has seen the polls (Yarmuth 48%-Northup 47%) and desperate to keep her job, she’s not letting the truth stand in her way.

Whether she doesn’t understand the law or is simply lying, Anne Northup absolutely cannot be trusted, and she has no business representing this community.

Evan Bayh is going to be speaking at an event in Bedford, New Hampshire.

Is Obama riding the momentum?

Is President Clinton eligible to serve as the Vice President?

Ben Cardin recieved the WaPo endorsement for his Senate bid.

Go here to see Geoff Davis and Ken Lucas debate.

Mike Huckabee should be ashamed of himself for saying he lost weight at a concentration camp. My cousins died at those camps during the Shoah.

The National Jewish Democratic Council said Huckabee, a likely contender for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, "ought to think about the people who he might offend with such insensitive words. At the very least, he owes all of us an apology and explanation for his tasteless comments."

I used to be a big fan of President Jimmy Carter but now, not so much. There's articles like these about a certain book coming out that really make me mad.

Virginia Law School's magazine focuses on Senator Bayh.

Bayh was not the only son of a famous political leader to enter the law school in the fall of 1978. Robert Kennedy Jr., Bobby Shriver, and Thurgood Marshall, Jr. also started that year.

But Bayh never acted in a way that suggested his father was a U.S. Senator, said Bob Turner, a member of Bayh’s section.

Turner, now a law professor at UVA and, like Bayh, a graduate of Indiana University, described his classmate as “diplomatic and personable.”

“(Evan) was always a very thoughtful, considerate, and easygoing fellow student,” Turner said. “I had been out of school for a decade, but what set him apart from the average 23-year-old law student, I think, was his maturity and poise. He was a class act.”

In recalling his time in law school for the spring 2006 issue of UVA Lawyer magazine, Bayh remembered “the collegiality, and rigorous, but not destructive, competition. It was all within the parameters of friendship. I liked that. There was that feeling that people were very bright but also good, decent human beings and well-rounded.”
