February 16th In One Hundred Seconds

I wasn't around for most of the afternoon and evening, so I got a quick roundup of today's events and punditry extravaganzas from Talking Points Memo:

Congressional Drama In 100 Seconds

TPM knows how to clip the first day back for Congress, and to fit in some Obama and Richard Simmons too:

And The Golden Duke Winners Are....

I saw this a week late, but the winners are all so deserving....as well as many of the runners up:



Hopefully 2009 will bring about less competition for these infamous awards.

A New Year, An Old Fight

The Sunday shows, like last week, were all about the conflict in and around Gaza:



Sadly, there's no end in sight here and the fighting will continue to worsen....and darken the hopes for the future.

TPM's Sunday Talk Roundup

Because sometimes, you can lose yourself in the chatter of the Sunday pundits. Of course, this Sunday it was all about the I/P conflict:

And The Golden Duke Award Nominees Are...

The nominees announced for all the Golden Duke awards are tough competitors in their respective categories. Here's the rundown and check out TPM for the results on New Year's Eve:



Who are your favorites?

Sunday Talk Roundup: Biden Vs Cheney

Care of the always amazing TPM. This week's theme was the battle of the incoming versus the outgoing Vice Presidents:

Could Robert Gates Stay At The Pentagon Under Obama?

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo has the details on this. Though it is up in the air whether this is bad for finding a new direction at the Pentagon. The answer just might be in taking a close look at Brent Scowcroft.

Lieberman: The Prodigal Senator

I can't say it or hear it enough, it is time to kick Lieberman from his position of power in the Senate. Let him sit on the sidelines of the caucus, but no way should he have one single, solitary ounce of power within the Democratic majority.

The Sunday Talk Roundup

All the punditry from yesterday, collapsed into four relatively pain-free minutes care of TPM:



Basically, no matter what side you are on, it is undeniable that things are really, really bad for the GOP.

Yesterday In 100 Seconds

TPM sums it all up:

With Two Weeks To Go

According to John King's report yesterday on Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado, Josh Marshall sees that the race is effectively over with Obama garnering 273 electoral votes or more. McCain's camp says they're going after Pennsylvania but in reality, that state is a deep, dark blue.

McCain's Horrendous Week

Only a deluded conservative could think that McCain had a successful past week. The Sunday talk circuit rightly slammed him for his gaffes, ignorance and general absurdities:

Live Coverage Of DNC Coming At You From TPMtv

Creator and founder of Talking Points Memo previews the live coverage of next week's DNC in Denver...and the RNC in Minneapolis the week after:



Hopefully it'll be just as good if not better than the UstreamTV at Netroots Nation

A Special Day For Ted Stevens

Kate Klonick of TPMtv explains why July 30th is such a memorable day or the Senator from Alaska:

Wes Clark Sits Down With TPM At Netroots Nation

General Wesley Clark is an icon (albeit for only a few years) in the Democratic Party. Yet he reaches out to the netroots community in a way that few politicians do. Not only did he give a keynote speech on the first night here in Austin, but sat down for a one-on-one with TPMtv:

General Election Roundup

Josh Marshall of TPM takes a look at the electoral map as of today, June 19th:

A TPM "Sunday Talk" Tribute To Tim Russert

A great tribute for an incredible man, Tim you will be missed:

TPM Takes A Look At The Possible 2008 Battleground

Will Ohio and Florida still be as crucial to the candidates as they were last time? Is Pennsylvania really in play? Can Obama make inroads into the Mountain West and the South? Joshua Micah Marshall of TPM looks at the early numbers between the nominees.

The Nuclear Option Will Most Likely Be A Dud

The so-called nuclear option that is being touted by Hillary Clinton supporters will most likely fail if and when it is presented to the DNC committee. Remember, its the Democratic Party, not the Hillary Party. Greg Sargent of TPM breaks it down for us:
