WASHINGTON - Retired Gen. Wesley Clark rejected suggestions he apologize Tuesday for saying John McCain’s medal-winning military service does not qualify him for the White House. Elaborating, Clark said a president must have judgment, not merely courage and character.
Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential hopeful, said Clark’s comments had been inartful. McCain said Obama should go further than that. -AP
I just got this in my e-mail and considering my cold war-like relationship with the DPOC, I couldn’t resist posting it! Frank can’t get Paul Lucas to shut up, so how did he handle Scott? Tune in and find out!

Dear Sarah,
Watch the Frank Barbaro, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Orange County, take on Scott Baugh, Chairman of the OC GOP on Inside OC with Rick Reiff.
They discuss the differences between the Obama and McCain presidential campaigns, including their divergent energy policies; Schwarzenegger’s performance as Governor; and the exciting Congressional races in Orange County.
The speculation had been running rampant, but now it’s official! San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has formed an exploratory committee for a run at the Governator’s Mansion. So does the bluest Mayor in a blue state have a chance to run it, or will he be singing the blues when it’s all said and done? He’s facing some stiff competition from Jerry Brown, John Garimendi, and Antonio Villaraigosa, as well as many others in a crowded field of Dem hopefuls. The race is beginning to resemble the 8-way race for MA-8 back in 1998 when Joseph Kennedy retired… and I for one, couldn’t be happier! These races can get really interesting! (Shout out to Rep. Mike Capuano: SomerVILLE!)
These videos are of female elected officials providing frank answers to questions regarding women in politics at a forum in Los Altos back in March. I feel they provide a fitting introduction to the project I am going to take this opportunity to announce.

I saw an article today on Orange Punch about how the media doesn’t seem to ‘get’ global warming. A few years ago I accepted mankind’s role in it as indisputable fact. Now I’m not so sure.
