The Campaign Waiting for Mitch Daniels

Erin McPike, RealClearPolitics
After Indiana's legislature gavels to a close today, Mitch Daniels will enter the final phase of his decision-making process about whether to run for the presidency in 2012. But unlike some of the contenders who decided against a run in part because it takes a lot to build one from scratch, Daniels could stroll several blocks out of his Statehouse office, flip on the light switch and the campaign would be right there waiting for him (much like Jon Huntsman will have in Washington when he gets home this weekend).With more than three decades in politics behind him, the governor has done...

Cheers and Jeers: Thursday

C&J Banner

From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE

Meanwhile, Over There...

Mitt Romney (from a New Hampshire Union Leader op-ed): Barack Obama is facing a financial emergency?Yet his approach has been to engage in one of the biggest peacetime spending binges in American history.

Stephen Colbert: May I remind the Mittpickers out there that Congress never declared war on any of these countries? So, technically, Romney is right. Our forces are just "spending a semester abroad." Y'know, sort of an international "bullet exchange program." That might explain why no one is reporting on them.
---The Colbert Report, April 26

Yesterday eight more American soldiers died in the peacetime don?t-call-it-a-war in Afghanistan. And for what? Hell, no one even tries to explain the mission over there anymore. Evildoers. Freedom. Oceans can't protect us. Corner turning. Light at the end of the tunnel seeking. Just a little longer?just a little longer?just one more "semester abroad"?or maybe two or five, who knows?

That's why efforts like the 4th annual Netroots for the Troops campaign are so important. They let our soldiers know we actually know they're over there and that we give a damn.

Netroots for the Troops assembles and ships care packages to American soldiers currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, supplying them with items they tell us they want and need---including work gloves, phone cards, CDs, DVDs, gel insoles for boots, and more.

The boxes are packed 100 percent by volunteers---including me this year, I'm happy to say---and shipped overseas from the Netroots Nation convention, which happens June 16-19 in Minneapolis.

Whether we pack a few boxes or a lot (several hundred were sent last year at the convention in Las Vages) depends on the financial support of this community.

To kick in a few bucks or a fistful (there must be one or two billionaires among us), click here for the donor page and then click on 'Make A Donation." Contributions are tax deductible. (Netroots For The Troops got its official 501(c)3 status this year, which is very cool.)

If you're a member of one of the new groups formed here at DK4: consider forming a team and pooling your donations. The link above lets you do that quickly and easily.

If you have friends, family, coworkers: Consider mentioning Netroots for the Troops to them and provide the link. Since this is a non-partisan effort, even conservatives can participate without fear of being branded a gol'durn leftie.

With only 49 days 'til Netroots Nation the urgency to get the funding in place is critical now.

If it was up to me I'd bring the troops home yesterday, but unfortunately I flunked my six-star-general mail correspondence course. So we do the next best thing: call bullshit on our leadership while continuing to let our grunts on the ground know that we're still thinking of them and supporting them. Please donate to Netroots for the Troops today. Many thanks.

Cheers and Jeers starts below the fold...
