Come check out our Presidential Forum liveblog or join in on the chat

The height of this trip is finally, FINALLY! getting to meet Pam Spaulding, Terrance Heath, Maegan Ortiz, sherillyn iffil, and that conservative blogger who drives me insane yet also makes me go, "Uh-hmm, go girl", LaShawn Barber.

That's the thrill of coming to these things. Meeting the bloggers I haven't met yet. The candidates? ..... meh.

Anyhow, this is going to be our open chat room. Enjoy!

Words to live by

The way to fight this 'moving forward' frame is not to repeat it--that's the first step. The problem is, Americans want to talk about and correct all the problems the President created and we are in right now. And if we talk about 'moving forward' and looking up the road and turning points--we get distracted from the present.

To reframe, we should force the debate to use a new phrase:

America wants action right now!

This phrase focuses the discussion in Iraq, on immigration policy, on oil policy, on hurricane preparedness--focuses attention on the real concern: a government that fails to act in the face of huge problems.
