Friday night: Special Screening of HBO's "Recount", w/Christine Jennings (D-FL)
This comes from Democratic Leadership for the 21st Century:
Friday night, June 13, DL21C, along with Screening Liberally, invite you to the first of several special screenings of the recent HBO movie, Recount, about the historic 2000 election starring Kevin Spacey, Denis Leary, Laura Dern and Tom Wilkinson.
Joining us will be Christine Jennings, a Florida Congressional candidate ( Sarasota ), who lost her 2006 election by fewer than 400 votes, prompting a machine recount and special investigation. Jennings is running again in one of the hottest Congressional races this cycle, so this is a fun opportunity to enjoy a (free!) Friday night movie and hear from a candidate who has lived through hanging chads and butterfly ballots!
Christine will be introduced by our very own State Senator Liz Krueger.
We'll be screening Recount again later this summer, but hope you can make it Friday night to meet Christine and Senator Krueger!

Ralph McNader: Nader and McCain Sitting in a Tree...
Now I know some of our readers have been Nader supporters. But the evidence is mounting that Nader, once an environmental and consumer hero, has fallen to little more than a Republican dupe. I can't understand why anyone still listens to the guy.
In 2000 Nader made a collossal mistake that cost Gore the election. Part of that mistake was what seemed an inexplicable statement that Gore and Bush were equivalent. I knew this was bullshit just like I knew it was bullshit when Gore, Cheney and Powell claimed Hussein was tied with al-Qaeda. And events since then have proven Nader was as "mistaken" as Bush, Cheney and Powell. The question always was: was Nader mistaken or lying? Either way, Nader only won 3% of the vote in 2000, not enough to do him any good, but enough, in key swing states, to help deliver the election to Bush.
