Last night, we had a little gathering at Hoi Polloi Cafe for folks to get to know Joe Hoeffel. We had a chance to interact with Joe live via Skype which was very cool.  I felt like a babbling idiot because he's so incredibly smart and I don't quite understand progressive taxation.  But I'll learn! 

So anyway, Joe's campaign has some videos out that you should see.  This one leaves no uncertainty as to who is the REAL progressive in the Governor's race.  There's no pussy footing around issues.  There's no waffling on the choice issue.  There's concrete commitment to progressive values, including a commercial that shows TWO MEN GETTING MARRIED. 

Here's the YouTube channel for the Hoeffel videos.

We may be ushering in a new era of political, er, politician blogging.  Daylin Leach unveils his blog ...

I am doing this because like most bloggers I think I have something to say. I'm doing it because sometimes when I hear the people who are paid millions of dollars to argue my side of an issue I spend the whole time cringing and screaming at the television (I react the same way to Celine Dion). I am doing this because I feel my experience and position give me a unique perspective that might be valuable to someone, somewhere. And I am doing this because I want to hear from you and hopefully learn something. So I hope you like the blogs to come. I hope we build a lasting relationship based on the exchange of ideas. And I invite you to tell me what's on your mind. You can be sure I will let you know what's on mine.
