| Counter Spin: The Dem Blog Response

The headlines and leads from the Dem candidate blogs:

  • DEAN: The State of Our Union: Last year at this time, George Bush stood up and misled the American people. This year, as he speaks again, you can write about the real effect George Bush’s policies have had on your life and your community — speak out here. You can also offer your reaction here on the blog, in Chat for America, or in the forums. And don’t forget to download TomPaine.com’s State of the Union scorecard to track George Bush spinning, ignoring or simply misrepresenting the issues American people care about.
  • EDWARDS: OPEN THREAD: State Of Two Americas: Tonight is the State of the Union Address by President Bush. Read Senator Edwards’ statement on tonight’s Address: “When the president says, ‘The state of our union is strong,’ you need to ask ‘which union Mr. President?’” Edwards said. “Because the state of George Bush’s union-the America of the Washington lobbyists, special interests and his CEO friends-is doing just fine. They get what they want, whenever they want.
  • KERRY: Have Fun with the State of the Union—Is It Possible?: I once had the luck to cage a ticket into one of Clinton’s State of the Union speeches. That was fun. But I would rather have my wisdom teeth pulled again than have to sit through George Bush’s State of the Union address tonight. I mean, how many times can you stomach watching the Republicans leap to their feet for another phony standing ovation? For those of you with tougher constitutions, TomPaine.com has a special feature to make the experience a little more educational. Click on the TomPaine icon below and get your very own State of the Union scorecard. When Bush is done, you can send your results back to TomPaine.com, and they’ll total up the results. (And come back to the blog and tell us what you thought).
  • LIEBERMAN: State of the Union: Tonight at 9:00 pm ET George Bush will deliver his State of the Union address. Use the thread below to discuss the speech then don’t forget to tune in and watch Joe’s reaction after the speech. Joe will be on PBS’s Charlie Rose Show at 11:00 pm ET and then Hardball with Chris Matthews at 11:30 pm ET.

How ironic, John Kerry finds Clinton’s speeches fun, but thinks the GOP support for Bush is phoney.

Even funnier, is that it’s clear the irony of Kerry’s hypocrisy completely escapes him…

Howard Dean is toast.

He is out of the race as far as I am concerned.
