Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    McCain Is Losing The South--Wall Street Journal

    John McCain: "The fundamentals of our economy are strong" [Dow drops 500 points]. How many Americans believe that the fundamentals of the economy are strong? How many care what the fundamentals are like if they can't pay for food, healthcare, day care, gas and heat?

    Racist Rant by McCain Campaign Chair in Virginia. What is particularly stupid was the guy put it in writing!

    Sarah Palin on Thin Ice: a round up of Sarah Palin stories from Georgia Women Vote.

    A Weak Economy...which may be why Economists are Supporting Obama


    Next let me introduce Ronnie Musgrove, running for Senate in Mississippi and doing a damned good job of worrying the Republicans. This race is getting closer and closer with Musgrove within 5 points of unseating a Bush Republican.
