HATS IN THE RING:
As of now, there are nine Democrats off and running for the 2008 nomination for President (or at least setting up "exploratory committees"), including two just this weekend. Here's a list of their websites so far, in order of announcement:
Mike Gravel, former Senator from Alaska
Tom Vilsack, former Governor of Iowa
Dennis J. Kucinich, Congressman from Ohio
John Edwards, former Senator from North Carolina
Christopher J. Dodd, Senator from Connecticut
Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator from Delaware
Barack Obama, Senator from Illinois
Hillary Rodham Clinton, Senator from New York
Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico
In addition, here are three more that are widely discussed as possible candidates (in alphabetical order):
Wesley Clark, retired four-star General
Al Gore, former Vice-President
John Kerry, Senator from Massachusetts
THEIR DEMOCRATIC PREDECESSOR SPEAKS HERE:
Former President Bill Clinton will speak at the NOKIA Theatre in Grand Prairie on Thursday, February 8. The tickets are from $39.50 to $175.00 and available at Ticketmaster. The speech begins at 7:30 PM at 1001 Performance Place, Grand Prairie.
THE KIND OF CORRECTION WE LIKE TO MAKE:
Last week we posted Judge Chapman's remarks from this year's swearing-in ceremony about some Democratic activists smiling down from heaven on the new elected officials. We are delighted to hear that one of those so listed is still with us: Jack Crout, who was a regular volunteer at the party office in the 1990's.
KEEPING WATCH ON A DALLAS REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS:
Linda Coleman, Precinct Chair of 4425 (Oak Cliff), writes: "I wanted to let you know about my new blog, Sessions Watch, which will track the votes and rantings of Pete Sessions over the next two years. Hopefully, this will help the next Democrat who challenges him, by gathering information in one place for easy access. Everybody in TX-32 is invited to participate -- just leave a note in the comment boxes if you have a "Pete sighting" or anything interesting to add. Extra points for catching him in a "macacca moment" and posting it on YouTube!"
ON THE WEB TODAY:
This is the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. In commemoration, over four hundred bloggers are posting today on "Why I’m Pro-Choice". The annual event was sparked this year by Bush v. Choice (whose own answer is "It’s about trusting women"), who has put up a growing list of participants at this page. My favorite was the long list at Feministe, concluding "I am pro-choice because my life is worth something."
