I Want Names
Posted by David Shorr

In a "Political Insiders Poll" in the current issue of National Journal, the US role in the world placed a disappointing fifth (with five votes) as an issue Democratic insiders want their presidential candidates to campaign on. It lost out to health care, Iraq (perhaps some overlap here), energy, and the economy. If my math is right, climate change received four votes.

One of those voting for USRITW is quoted saying, "we need to be offering a credible plan of how we are going to regain our position in the world community." [I'll post a few proposals of my own soon.]

I wish the issue had won more votes, but meanwhile I'd like to know who the five votes came from. The insiders include:

Karen Ackerman, Jill Alper, David Axelrod, Dave Beattie, Andy Bechhoefer, Cornell Belcher, Mitchell W. Berger, Mike Berman, Donna Brazile, Mark Brewer, Ed bruley, George Bruno, Deb Callahan, Bonnie Campbell, Bill Carrick, Martin J. Chavez, Tony Coelho, Jim Craig, Jerry Crawford, Jeff Danielson, Jim Demers, Tad Devine, Monica Dixon, Tom Donilon, Anita Dunn, Steve Elmendorf, Eric Eve, Fic Fazio, Scott Ferson, Tina Flournoy, Don Foley, Don Fowler, Gina Glantz, Joe Grandmaison, Anna Greenberg, Stan Greenberg, Pat Griffin, Michael Gronstal (a lot of Iowans here), Marcia Hale, Paul Harstad, Laura Hartigan, Mike Henry, Harold Ickes, Marcus Jadotte, John Jameson, Steve Jarding, Jonathon Jones, Jim Jordan, Gale Kaufman, Shar Knutson, Kam Kuwata, Celindqa Lake, David Lang, Sylvia Larsen, Jeff Link, Bill Lynch, Steve Marchand, Jim Margolis, Paul Maslin, Terry McAuliffe, Caroline McCarley, Gerald McEntee, Tom McMahon, David Medina, Mark Mellman, John Merrigan, Steve Murphy, Janet Napolitano, David Nassar, Marcia Nichols, John Norris, Tom Ochs, Tom O'Donnell, Scot Parven, Jeffrey Peck, Debora Pignatelli, John Podesta, Tony Podesta, Bruce Reed, Marne Reiley, Steve Ricchetti, Susan Rice (I hope she was one), Will Robinson, Steve Rosenthal, John Ryan, Wendy Sherman (another?), Terry Shumaker, Bob Slagle, Erik Smith, Doug Sosnik, Darry Sragow, Karl Struble, Katrina Swett, Sarah Swisher (more Iowans), Eric Tabor, Jeffrey Trammell, Ed Turlington, Mike Veon, Rick Wiener, Bridgette Williams, and JoDee Winterhof.

For the record, on the Republican side there seem to have been five votes for Iraq, four votes each for Islamic extremism and "security," and one vote each for foreign affairs, war on terrorism and climate change.

Wow. Look at all those influence peddlers and campaign consultants. That these are the Democrats considered "insiders" may be your problem, right there.

Categories not not known to think or speak about US purposes in the world very much, it's true.

Because of fiesta money, I meet a lot of friends. Besides, my friends usually give me some fiesta online gold. I usually buy fiesta Gold through Internet and advice from my friends. I gain a lot of fiesta online money and harvest in life.

you just need to spend 100-200 dollars to buy a replica rolex watches.
Rolex Explorer replica watches are made by the rating 1:1 according to the original watches, and you can't distinguish the original and the fake watches when you look at the surface of the watches.

It is the priston tale Gold which makes me very happy these days,

I hope i can get sro gold in low price.

Once I played Rom Gold, I did not know how to get strong, someone told me that you must have Rom Gold. He gave me some Runes of Magic Gold.
