Quote of the Day

Michelle Obama brought her husband's message of change to Seattle Thursday, raising money for his presidential bid and for Gov. Christine Gregoire's re-election effort.

But when it came to Gregoire's campaign, Obama cautioned, "This election isn't about change for change sake."

And she added, "Don't change it if it ain't broken."

BWWHAHAHAHAHA!! "This election isn't about change for change sake!!!" You'd better believe we're voting for change we can believe in in Olympia come November, Obamamama! It is broken, and we're gonna fix it.

Uh Oh, More Scandal Brewing for Washington Dems

Hot on the heels of Wampumgate, Washington's junior varsity senator Maria Cantdowell is dealing with a potential quid pro quo scandal of her own.

Politico.com asked all 100 senators about the circumstances surrounding their home loans following revelations that Senators Kent Conrad (D-ND) and Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) received "VIP" mortgages from Countrywide.

Every senator but Cantdowell responded. Her mortgage company? Yep. Countrywide. No allegations of wrongdoing yet, but it don't look good, especially as the Queen now wants to run Countrywide out of Washington for using predatory lending practices against minorities.

Again, my question to you starry-eyed Democratic activists like Bryan Burke who are backing Obama, is this the party of "change" or is this the party of "politics as usual?"

Does She Want Change?
