Considering that Bilbray's opponent was a complete idiot, he should have won by a landslide.

Let's hope his 'streak' continues with Ned "Mentos" Lamont!

way to go MENTOS guy!

But Reason magazine (for libertarians with BDS) only manages to mention his "successful" efforts to get Dean to be head of the DNC.

Dead tree edition, so no link.

Rob Reiner's...errr...Meathead's preschool ballot amendment also went down. Hey Rob, how about this - the "Money Where Your Mouth Is" Amendment. It would raise taxes on the Hollywood Entertainment Industry 5% to fund all the trendy lefty programs Hollywood wants. I actually think if this gets out they'd go for it.

Nyah, nyah.

Hey, does he make sports predictions?

Probably - but the poor guy was having to follow a convicted felon and you know how people get with the throw the bums out group think. Tough to win under those circumstances.

Did anyone here see Kos on Russert's CNBC show over the weekend? I usually refrain with the ad-hominem stuff, but the kid looked like a small bug sorta' thing. Like he might go all Gregor Samsa and crawl across the studio at the end of the interview. And this tick he had with his eyes and mouth, all five-foot seven of him, made me kinda' uncomfortable.

'Notha one bites the dust!

0 for 20? thats terrible!

"...Now batting .000, LEFT fielder, Markos..."

"Boooooooo"

Sorry about that.

And Joe Lieberman will beat Kos's man also!

That gives ace Democratic operative Markos Moulitsas “Screw Them” Zuniga a perfect record for candidates he’s backed: zero for 20.

Be afraid, Ned Lamont. Be very afraid.

Reason has gone completely off the rails since Virginia Postrel left. It's become a clumsy parody of its former self.

I kept waiting for KOS to bounce up and down on the furniture while being interviewed by Russert...

Looked like my children when they were young visiting DisneyWorld for the first time and seeing the Epcot Globe.

A comment to the believers, for the secular/etc, please ignore:
This "tick" along with inappropriate laughter, is a "tell" - a sign of infiltration by darkness, IMO.
Look for it in an evil being near you.

0 for 20? Man, Koz could coach the Detroit Lions!

Not to say he is incompetent, but this Zuniga guy could run Castro's or Kim Jong Il's campaign and lose. Hey, that's not a bad idea. Maybe he could run "Lil' Hugo" Lopez Obrador's campaign in Mexico or get more heavily involved in close Senate races.

sharona

Nah, "maybe next year" shows that a person can actually acknowledge that they didn't win this year!

Jeeze, how do we get him to endorse John Conyers?

This calls for a 'Hoo hoo hoo" pumping-fist moment like on the old Arsenio Hall Show.

YAAAAAAAAAAY!

Go Kos, go Kos...

Lots of great knowledge comes from asking really good questions. Here's what I consider to be one of those rare really good questions: Why is Kos so extremely popular and yet has such a poor track record with candidates? You'd expect one of two things to happen: 1) their candidates would have done better, 2) after so many defeats, Kos would no longer be very popular.

My intent here is not to be humorous, but to sincerely wonder why this situation exists? Contrary to blog wisdom, I don't think all these people are "stupid", but I do think there's something at play. Obviously, we know much of it already, but it's one of those situations in history that's worthy of studying.

Didn't Kos have the winner in the Berkeley dogcatcher runoff?

A reader over at Instapundit claims Kos had a winner in a Montana primary. Granted, the guy probably ran unopposed, but you have to start somewhere.

Screw Kos!

The Princemaker whiffs again.

You are all WRONG...k0s wins them all...just like Hackett won in OH etc. They scared the sh!t out of the GOP, people! The dem landslide in Nov. is inevitable

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but Kos is actually now 1-19, since John Tester, whom "His Royal Ment-strosity" backed, did win the Dem senatorial primary in Montana:

[Link: hosted.ap.org...]

Then again, if "moral victories" count, I suppose Kos, at least in his own mind, is now batting 1,000.....

There haven't been adults running the place since she left, the BDS is ever-present and as hubby was mentioning the other day, they focus on the most basic and simplistic points most of time.

The article about Kos and Glenn's books just sneered at Pajamas Media and the translation of Iraqi documents as a PR effort. But Kos, he lead a successful grass roots campaign for Dean.

How incomplete and selective can you get?!

It's tit shaking time!

Voters also rejected Proposition 82, which had been spearheaded by actor-director Rob Reiner and backed by the state's teachers' union, the California Teachers Association.

The ballot measure would have imposed a 1.7 percent tax on individuals with incomes above $400,000 and on couples with incomes above $800,000 to raise $2.4 billion to fund the preschool program.

The measure was rejected by 59.3 percent of voters and supported by 40.7 of voters, according to results from 43.9 percent of precincts.

Undefeated in moral victories

by Edanger6

~~~~~~~~~~
That's pretty rich!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise started out 0-for-26 in the 1976-77 seasons. Was Daddy Kos a coach on that team.

Which brings to mind the immortal line from Coach John McKay when asked after a game about his players' execution, he said "I'm all for it".

Kinda how I feel about Kos.

MARKOS, free advice.

When you're always rooting for the Prairie View A&M football team to beat Texas, you're probably going to have to wait a long time for your first victory.

Perhaps you should seek employment elsewhere...

I understand there's some serious money to be made on the receiving end of dwarf tossing or being shot out of a cannon.

Of course he won, he focused on opposing amnesty for illegal immigration.

This is a loser for the Dems. I will tell them this in Vegas. LOL.

#35,

Yeah, I saw that on Instapundit, too.

It implies though, that Kos maintains a perfect losing record in general elections.

You know, against Republicans...

#44 MoeWilson,

Have you thought about taking over for KOS when he steps down?

When is that Kos shortbus convention in Vegas?

I'm almost tempted to go out there, not to disrupt the proceedings, but rather to get some inside dope (pun intended) from Kos and bet big coin on all the opponents.

Not that I'm a gambler, but this is easy money.

So being a Democrat these days is like being a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, hmmmm? "Maybe next year" must be the BDS-sufferer's motto as well.

Ouch! Maybe Menthos-boy could campaign for a Dusty Baker contract extension.

My favorite is how the kos kids spin these defeats as moral victories. I love that.

i'd hate to see kos ruin a perfect record, would sorely hate that.

they are also whining about how so much money had to be spent to win, wtf, guess we have it to spend on worthy causes.

Actually, the Montana guy he backed was the underdog and not the party favorite, so the victory is not insignificant. But winning the primary is like getting the first date with the girl of your dreams. You need it to go right, but if it's the highlight of your effort, you've only achieved a slight amount of success.

Hardly different than what Time had to say about him.

Compact and wiry, Moulitsas, 34, exudes quivering intensity. He speaks in staccato paragraphs, punctuated by intense stares and a raised eyebrow. His eyes bulge slightly outward, as if reacting to the pressure of all the ideas inside his head. Many of those ideas find a home on Daily Kos. A clearinghouse for liberal screeds and progressive perspective on the news, the site claims to get more than 500,000 unique visitors daily and more than 10,000 members maintain their own sub-blogs (called "diaries") within its reaches.

Moulitsas’s rhetoric and passion have made him a posterboy bomb-thrower. He's the left's own Kurt Cobain and Che Guevera rolled into one, dripping sex appeal for progressives for whom debate has become synonymous with losing, who need a muscular liberal answer to the cowboy swagger adopted by the Bush Administration and its fans.

To answer your question, I think it could be one of two things:

1. Leftists occupy their own separate little bubble of a world, filled with wish-facts. They wantwantwant certain things to be true, and they act as if it WILL be true if they just keep believing in it.

2. Leftists are insane. They have literally gone around the bend and, like many people who suffer with schizophrenia, paranoia and other forms of psychosis, they no longer can discern truth from fiction.

He has 20 moral victories, the only one's that count.

Failure for Liberals is a sure sign of success, Jimmy Carter could never have reached the heights of prominence had he not sucked so badly.

I doubt it. But maybe Kos declared her the next big thing about 10 years ago, which would explain why she's disappeared from the radar.

How would you like to be party to a sad sack of folks where the leaders of your band more resemble the three stooges with the movie director being Ed Wood, Jr. (KOS):

Yeah, thats the ticket!

loppyd,

According to IMDB, Daphne Zuniga was born in Berkeley, where the mental patient now lives. But I believe he emanates from some third-world hellhole. Still, maybe they're related somehow.

In regards to Zooney Looney's "victory" in MT, it involved one Dem beating another Dem in a primary.
Kind of like the only time the Fwench are victorious militarily is when they are fighting other Frenchmen.

And speaking of losers...

None other than Mary Mapes is back.

" [Critics] claimed that CBS used forged documents and they repeated that lie so often that it stuck. The mainstream media picked it up, repeating bloggers' criticisms without making any serious effort to investigate the story. "

"As for document analysis, it is a mind-numbing and arcane discipline, an imperfect undertaking reserved for courtroom use, not for headlines or Internet political battles. Document analysis is certainly not meant to be done at 11 o'clock at night by someone with no training or experience sitting in front of a glowing computer nursing a grudge and spoiling for a fight. But that's precisely how the right's attack against Dan Rather and CBS News was launched."

"That first anonymous analyst (who turned out to be a Republican activist lawyer) raised questions about the memo using only a single shot of a faxed document digitally transmitted to his computer screen. Those kinds of transmissions radically change the way a document looks. His analysis was worthless.

"The laundry list of problems that critics claimed they saw in the memos has turned out to be bunk. There never has been any definitive proof that they were forged or falsified in any way, despite a multi-million dollar investigation into the story by Viacom. The reasons we put them on the air remain valid: the content of the memos was corroborated by people familiar with Bush, his unit and his commander; the dates, times and details intricately matched what we know of the record; and two experienced and respected document analysts, who examined copies that had not been faxed or digitally recreated, concluded that the papers showed every indication of being real.

"I don't believe we will know the truth about the memos until after the Bush team is out of office and people with information are no longer afraid to come forward. "

Clocks made in Switzerland say it every hour.

Sorry for my ignorance. If "squidy" means did I serve in the navy, no, I have not.

Speaking of sKerry I saw a commercial this morning before going to work that he is going to be on O'Reilly tonight. I can only hope there are some fireworks but I think Bill will soft pedal this one so that he can get him back on the show after he announces his candidacy for president.

Analysis from the minds at kos:
"Busby's loss was a loss no matter how it's spun, but it's also a clear sign that the Democrats must become a progressive party."

The mind of a liberal can be so facinating.

Why don't you, um, do some of your vaunted "research" and find out?

KKKarl Rove: mission accomplished

Census outlines face of today's New Orleans
By Anne Rochell Konigsmark, USA TODAY
Wed Jun 7, 7:08 AM ET

Hurricane Katrina drained the New Orleans metropolitan area of almost 40% of its residents and left the region with a whiter, wealthier and older population, according to the first Census Bureau estimates since the devastating flooding.

The special survey released today shows the New Orleans area, made up of seven parishes, became 73% white in the months after the hurricane Aug. 29, up from about 59% before the storm. The black population dropped from about 37% to 22%. The median age increased by about four years, and the median annual income rose from $39,793 to $43,447.

"This confirms what some people thought: There was a selective out-migration of poorer minorities," says William Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution.

As for the fawning media coverage of the Kos Konvention in Vegas this week, one should probably wait until after they help a candidate (any candidate) win an election before saying that they're the next big thing in Democrat party politics.

If your candidates lose a couple of elections, it can be chalked up to bad luck or bad circumstance. But when you go 0 for 20, that looks like you've got seriously poor judgment of character and can't figure out the issues involved that resonate with voters.

Today's debate topic:

Kos is really working for Karl Rove. He is quite effective at getting Republicans elected, since he unerringly picks the loser in any political contest.

Discuss.

Al Gore should hire Kos as his campaign manager when he decides to run again. After all, Al invented the Internet, without which the blogosphere wouldn't exist, so therefore he's responsible for Kos' success, so therefore Kos owes him a debt and should throw his considerable weight and influence behind the man who made him what he is today, so therefore...

In fairness, Kos won big in the Montana Democratic primary last night. Since the month after the presidential election he had been loudly supporting Jon Tester, a liberal state senator and organic rancher, to challenge Republican Sen. Conrad Burns. The Democratic establishment supported John Morrison, the more moderate state auditor. Morrison was backed by more DC Democratic consultants and led big in early polling. He started to lose ground after a sex scandal, but the last poll on May 28 showed him edging Tester by one point. Last night Tester beat him, and it wasn't even close. It was a 25-point landslide.

It says he's got some distance to go yet. Still, 1-19 is better than 0-20!

Without thinking (of course) that Texas has a large proportion of Blacks on its football team too.

31 DeliLama,

I think a lot of the problem amounts to what you mean by popular. Kos runs a site that gets 1000s of hits per day, and can therefore reasonably be cited as a "popular" blogger. The problem is the sheer size of the internet audience. If you assume that internet site viewership is around 20 million people a day, then just 1/10th of 1% of the market amounts to 20,000 hits a day. The site will be incredibly popular and still only reflect a marginal portion of the market. A reasonable observer recognizes this. Kos, on the other hand, has taken his popularity and assumed that it is some sort of indication of broad popular support for his views. In reality its only an echo chamber.

He's talking about the 7-parish metro area, not the city itself. Those numbers seem compatible with a predominantly "chocolate" city.

Kos got a Democrat to beat a Democrat in Montana.

As to his popularity - follow the money.

That .050 average would get him into the starting lineup of the 1962 Mets.

Bilbray also won in spite of McCain's cancelling an appearance due to Bilbray's anti-amnesty stance.

McCain's non-endorsement didn't hurt, yay! Kos/McCain's voodoo isn't working.

And what about that race in Ohio where his guy didn't lose by as big a margin as they thought he would. That's kinda like a victory.

And besides as one of the kosacks said this morning:

Did he really win?

I know what the Republicans did in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 20004. Is it only a matter of time before we discover they kept Democrats from voting in CA or switched their votes?

In Montana, you can pick either a Democratic or a Republican ballot when you walk in the door for the primary. You can then switch back and vote for a different party in the fall. We don't register for either party.
Yesterday, I woke up feeling very much like a Democrat. I imagine many Republicans did- it was a little overcast and rainy. Also, what fun is voting in a Republican primary when you know Burns will win it? But... we may change our minds come the fall election. In fact, I already feel my Republican leanings starting to come back....

I asked my husband who he voted for. He said "Burns- the Democrats don't need my help picking a looser. They'll do fine on their own."

The moral of the story is, Tester got a lot of Republican votes. Thus, the landslide.

Daily Kos mentioned, but also LGF and other conservative blogs, in this Townhall column: THe New Media Revolution.

The bad news is that Kos has just about the most-viewed blog on the planet. The good news—and it is very good—is that conservatives have not been afraid to follow suit and have jumped on the opportunities offered by this medium. With the exception of Daily Kos, nearly all of the top blogs in the nation—Michelle Malkin, Instapundit, Townhall, Little Green Footballs, Club for Growth, and others—are conservative.

Enjoy tonight's game.

It was a strong showing by a Democrat in a district described by Congressional Quarterly just last year as a "steadily growing GOP stronghold.''

Hey, I did my part last night. Bilbray may not be an ace fighter pilot and war hero, but he will keep congressional power in the right hands.
