Speaking at the convention [ NewsHour / Flickr]
Some reactions to Joe Lieberman’s speech last night at the GOP convention in St. Paul:
Crystal Clear Conservative is a “Libertarian-leaning Republican” Yankees fan who writes mainly about Virginia and national politics. S/he thinks Liberman gave a “great speech” overall:
Lieberman was a breath of fresh air to the convention by demonstrating McCain’s broad bipartisan appeal. Yes, Lieberman’s speech has just ostracized him from the Democrats […], but it goes to show the maverick appeal of fearless leaders.
[…] When Lieberman began the speech, he made a good point that the founding fathers did not intend for our country to be partisan, but to work in bipartisanship to get things accomplished. This is a valid point: we do not need to compromise our values and principles, but we should look at all sides of the issue before making our decisions concrete.

Sundays are a great day to abbreviate. Tom Friedman : If Iraq can keep improving — still uncertain — and become a place where Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites can write their own social contract and live together with a modicum of stability, it could one day become a strategic asset for the United States in the post-9/11 effort to promote different politics in the Arab-Muslim world. But even if it does, I was still wrong enough about Iraq that it would be despite what I&rsq... more

Here’s another perspective on technology and Campaign 08. Scott Chacon is a Bay Area computer programmer with an abiding interest in “open source politics” — which he defines as “the idea that openness and transparency through technology can improve our political system.” He put that idea to the test in his own 2006 bid for a Congressional seat; he didn’t win, but he learned some things.
In this 2008 campaign, Chaco... more

This picture by trialkat was taken at a Fair Tax rally in Jacksonville, FL, where Mike Huckabee played his bass. The boy is holding a dollar bill autographed by Huckabee, and the photo seemed a fitting adieu to the candidate, who, after last night’s primaries, conceded the GOP nomination to John McCain.

John McCain clinched the Republican nomination last night, but the buzz belonged to Hillary Clinton for winning Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island.
Ohio blogger The Critic explains the vote he cast for Clinton yesterday:
Today I was up by six thirty, dressed by six forty, and out the door to vote in the Ohio Democratic Primaries. The sidewalks were so slick from the freezing rain, that I walked in the street. Our polling place w... more
A Vermonter and self-described “housewife and homeschooling mom” had this to say last night after watching the Vermont primary results on TV:
On the Channel 17 exit interviews, when asked what comment she would write on her ballot for her elected officials, if she could, one woman said, “I would tell them to get out of Iraq and try to do something with the economy.”
Funny, it is the exact opposite for me. I would tell them to get out of the economy and try to do something ... more
