Take the rose-colored PC glasses off and read what I
actually wrote.

Meanwhile, in the world of real politics  …

As you will see in my report tomorrow, the games are
already underway
on this issue in the governor’s race. We may not like how it turns out.

Standard political practice, nothing more.

This same exact screed  —  and
incidentally, campaigns carry operating
“debt” all the time, I don’t think Westly is anywhere near running out
of money, obviously  —  was posted on my web site.

Here is the deal, friend.

If you want to participate on my site and say whatever
you want, within obvious boundaries, that is fine.

It is not fine for you to spam my site.

The next time you post on my site, make sure it is not
spam.

I spent about one sentence on that point.

Then I revealed the historical impact of the state party
endorsement on statewide races.

Very little, and there, only on a down ballot race.

It helps to have been to a couple dozen state Democratic
conventions as activist, operative, and journalist.

Sorry you don’t like the facts.

You should read what is actually written before making
sophomoric comments about it.

Don’t add to the current distortion by distorting what I
wrote before, either.

Don’t rely on cheap attitude.

“What you call distortion I call discussion.”

How about what you call discussion I call BS?

LOL

Actually, that is a poor bet.

But what do I know, right?

ROTFL

www.newwestnotes.com

FAR fewer than I used to think.

Before I bothered to become informed, which you are
determinedly not.

You don’t seem to like it.

Not that you have cited anything to back up your
assertion, of course.

This is the difference between opinion journalism and
partisan propaganda.

He said it back in 2002, in a speech to the Commonwealth
Club in San Francisco.

I reminded the Democratic spinners who e-mailed me about
it this morning.

Schwarz up 13 in PPIC.

If you want to know what is really going on, come to
www.newwestnotes.com.

Now you are distorting reality once again in your latest
tantrum.

Let’s see if you can follow along.

The robopolls were wrong about the governor’s race
throughout the
campaign, showing a much closer race than was actually taking place.

They were completely out of phase with the respected
California polls  —  Field, PPIC, LA Times.

They were also out of phase with the PRIVATE DEMOCRATIC
POLLS

Including Phill Angelides’ own polls. And the labor
union polls.

At the end, they somewhat suspiciously reflected what
the real polls were showing.

Or do you believe the race was really close until the
end? And that all the other evidence was wrong?

In which case, you are quite delusional.

Which I already told you.

But you are impervious to the truth, which you obviously
can’t handle.

The robopolls and Internet polls were wrong during the
campaign.

The real polls  —  Field, PPIC, LA
Times, and the Democratic tracking polls  —  were
right.

Have a nice day, chump.

The Dems had to rally behind the down ballot candidates
who couldn’t
really take care of themselves, ie, not Jerry and Lockyer. They finally
stopped wasting millions on Angelides and did it, barely in a couple of
cases, such as LG and SOS, 3 and 4 point wins that should have been
much more

Get a life.

Keep telling your “audience” how great Angelides is
doing.

ROTFL

Your history of lying, like you’re doing again, and
sophomoric
delusions  —  generally you delude
yourselves  PHIL WILL WIN!!!!  — 
probably accounts for much of it.

For one thing, I leave the “outrageous” comments to
folks like you.
Absent facts, you do hysterical cheerleading for lousy campaigns and
imagine that you are taken seriously.

But that only happens when you try to “blogswarm”
grownups. As some of your little friends learned to their chagrin.

So, I see a whole six comments there about the big
crusade againstg Ellen Tauscher.

She probably should be taken on.

But you boys don’t have the chops to do it.

Go finish your homework.

For one thing, learn what GOTV is.

ROTFL

If you can read, which evidence does not suggest you
can, I’ve run over
half a dozen stories about the very much alive Ayatollah Khamenei.

So, kiddie boys, get out of high school, get a remedial
reading lesson.

Oh, and get some sources.

I have sources in the Middle East.

You should be able to meet SOMEBODY in Hollywood.

LOL

You may have heard of him. I’m sure you’ve never met him.

John Edwards.

Jerking knees do not serious analysts make, boys.

Try it sometime.

Instead of the undergrad gibberish 
—  George Lakosh  —  you boys trot out.

I know that is hard for you to grasp, but, … 
ROTFL

Now let’s see if you can grasp the point of this item,
which you failed to grasp before.

** ADVANTAGE JOHN EDWARDS AS OBAMA TRIES TO MATCH
HILLARY AS A
TRIANGULATOR? That’s what Dick Morris, the quirky yet brilliant
longtime Bill Clinton guru-turned-Hillary Clinton-hater-and-Fox News
commentator seems to think. He thinks the second term U.S. senator and
former first lady still has the edge for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
But he sees Edwards as running in the open field with his clearcut
opposition to the Iraq War. The former North Carolina senator and 2004
Democratic vice presidential nominee leads all the polls I have seen
from the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses. And although Hillary leads
in the private polling I’ve seen from second-in-the-nation Nevada, I
know from also having done Nevada that an attractive and articulate
trend presidential candidate, which Edwards is, can sweep to victory in
the Silver State. And that is without factoring in the union support
that Edwards will have in the Las Vegas market, which should comprise
about 70% of the Democratic vote in Nevada come next January 19th.

I control and own everything I do. Which is obvious if
you can read.
But your penurious envy overrides your moderate intellect. Since no one
is paying you for your thoughts, which, are, well, we’ll leave it at
that.

I also don’t suffer from a sophomoric ignorance.

Incidentally, as you and your kiddie boy associates
would grasp if you
could read, I think Hillary is a very strong candidate. I say great
things about her. I say great things about Obama. I say great things
about Edwards. Etc. The only Democrats I DON’T say good things about
happen to be really bad candidates.

Hmm, any guesses there? And generally ones I actually
know, unlike you.

I have friends with Hillary as with all the major
Democrats. She may very well be the next president.

In fact, if I had to bet  …  I
wouldn’t tell you  …  🙂

Wrong again. I own and control the site. That is the way
the contract,
and the law, works. Since you’re not a professional, you don’t
understand it.

I write what I want when I want. As is obvious to anyone
who can read.
They pay me for the privilege of having me on the network.

In fact, I just gave the CEO of PJM shit again for never
correcting
that idiotic Ledeen “report.” I’ve already debunked it half a dozen
times on NWN. And I reminded him I have an unpublished column exclusive
to them about it.

You kiddie boys spend too much time conning yourselves
into the fallacy of argument by association.

Unclever people on the right wing try that all the time,
too.

Now grow up, get some sources, and learn. I have sources
in the Middle East. You should be able to get some in Hollywood.

Incidentally, as is also obvious, I think this is a
strong Democratic field. Three or four could easily be the next
president.

My best man is one of Hillary’s biggest supporters. So
it goes.

Gavin Newsom is a smart guy. I suspect he will figure
this out.

What you should do is work in some actual campaigns
before pretending like this.

You should also stop deleting responses correcting total
distortions of fact.

If you don’t learn, you will learn that that is a
mistake.

Incidentally, Antonio has serious problems in LA, too.
In case you all had not noticed.

I wonder what it all means. 🙂

Or better yet, use your real name instead of hiding
behind a childish handle.

I’m trying to recall what you have been right about.

Go back to school, finish your undergraduate degree,
THEN start with
the snarky opining about people who actually do things in the world.

Not that Ragone can’t be a total pain in the ass. Trust
me, I know.

But how would you know?

You have no experiential or informational base to judge
his behavior against.

Merely a typical generalized resentment of people who
elected about 14 delegates to the state Democratic convention.

With your endless dissembling?

Puh-leeze.

Go back to sleep.

Not journalists.

Because your stuff is constantly inaccurate.

Not pols.

Because it is amateurish.

And simply uninteresting and boring.

Plus you run lies.

And you censor.

If you don’t want to be taken seriously, well, have a
nice day.

If you fail to stop your censorship, well, that will be
a problem for you.

Puh-leeze.

Dispense with the nonsense.

Your site is anything but civil, accurate, or
professional.

Don’t start.

A word to the wise.

NAAAH.

This is not the amateur hour, hard as it may be as a

Nor is this patty cake.

Straighten up and fly right.

Its simple, short-term cannibalization. The price point
