This is a piece I wrote for the Daily Kos a couple of weeks ago. I'm posting it here because we'd been discussing the question: can she ever be defeated, or is it time to throw in the towel and hope for re-districting? Every so often I write a piece puffing our blog on the Kos, hoping to attract dri...

This blog post dragged out this old interview I did way back on May 8, 2007, seemingly a lifetime ago.

You may have noticed, but I've sort of been scarce since the election. While I did fit two short vacations in these past two months (a couple of days to San Diego with the kids, and a couple of days to Las Vegas without the kids), I've actually been pretty busy. 2008 was a good election year for us ...
