So, I log into my favorite web site this morning and what do I see: a complete takeover by an ad for some program called "Obama's War." What exactly is Obama's War? The web site for this program indicates it is some sort of PBS special regarding the Afghanistan conflict.

I'm seeing that there is a top rated diary complaining that Obama laughed off a question about legalization of marijuana. In fact, that's not what he was asked at all. Here's the transript:

There is a story line being peddled by some that the Dems are squandering their convention by not hitting the Repubs hard enough on policy differences. I personally take the opposite view. I believe the Dems are very wisely utilizing their convention time to shore up areas of weakness / perceived weakness. In an election where all of the fundamentals are going in your direction and you have a dynamic and likeable candidate, that is really all you need to do.

I cherry picked this off of drudge, but according to the AP it looks like the Teamsters may be set to endorse Obama.

Obama and the Democratic party here in MN both had an outstanding night. In 2004, the energy from Howard Dean's campaign brought out a record crowd, with just over 50,000 people showing up.

Venting about my call to Aetna today

Ok, so I just need to vent about my call to Aetna today regarding a prescription drug reimbursement. I should preface this by saying that I am not a person who gets sick very often. I deal with insurance companies about once or twice a year, if that, generally when I'm making changes to my plan. My experience today is very minor in the grand scheme. However, that's kind of the point... if I'm this frustrated over my $150 claim, I can't imaging how bad it is for people who have real health issues.

The level of corruption amonst the GOP's leadership is just unbelievable. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, a company owned by Minnesota GOP Chairman Ron Carey is under investigation by the state's AG for bilking millions out of the state

(This is a repost from a comment I made earlier, but I've been asked to repost it as a diary)

I'm affraid that the re-thugs are winning the framing battle in this hearing. What we've seen develop here are two camps, the corruption camp and the incompetance camp. Dems are pounding the politization / corruption issue. Re-thugs are pounding the incompetance issue.

I just got home from the first Draft Obama rally here in Minneapolis. It was absolutely amazing. There were about 50 people there, including the mayor of Minneapolis, RT Rybak (a hardcore Dean supporter, who is considered to be a strong governor / Senate candidate.

Now that Ford Bell has dropped out of the MN Senate race, Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar has clear sailing to the nomination. She is considered the heavy favorite over Bush lap-dog Congressman Mark Kennedy (MN-6). She has a new ad out that her campaign is trying to raise cash to run. I got an email from her campaign manager, Ben Goldfarb, with a link to the ad and the proverbial request for cash. I just saw the ad on TV last night.

I'm curious if anyone who knows more about polling and psychology than I can shed any light on a question I have. Why is it that poll numbers fluctuate so much from poll to poll? More specifically, why is it that people are so willing to change their minds from one poll to the next based on one specific event? I'm specifically thinking here of the small uptick that Bush seems to have had following the Zarqawi death? We always seem to see these sorts of upticks following specific events like this. My question is why?
