Apparently, there are girls that will only "sleep with Democrats." Anyone met a girl like this?

CanWeAsk about your spelling? [update!!!!!!]

This past Friday, the RNC launched CanWeAsk.com -- an extremely clever deployment of YouTube to effectively hammer Barrack Obama by blending the RNC's opposition research team with real questions submitted by real citizens.

I like this tool and participated with my own question on health care (which now has nearly 26k views). Natch.

While the RNC got it right they made a key mistake by not buying the domain CanWeAsk.org.

Of note, Hillary Clinton made a kinda similar mistake by not buying the domain HilaryHub.com for her uber-popular site HillaryHub.com. Yep, I own it. However, given the state of the race and her chances of being the nominee, I'll likely never do anything fun with it. Oh well, I've spent more money on a cab to get brunch than what it costs to buy a domain.

Anyway, the silly Democrats who bought the .org URL have launched a little note as a placeholder for the site which contains a spelling mistake by using the word "loose" when they meant "lose."

What happens when amateurs try to be funny

Given the fact that today is Sunday, I imagine we'll have to wait until Monday for the DNC to start working (again). Just saying...

UPDATE 5/12, 10:28 AM (post-Radiohead): As two tipsters have pointed out (MB and CS), our little prankster has updated the page but continues to use the wrong form of "your"/"you're."

Your or You're?

BTW - In general, overuse of the exclamation point makes me nauseous. This is no exception.

Dems Attack Freedoms Watch (Again)

Earlier this week I blogged about the conservative organization Freedoms Watch as one of the top "Players" in my New Guards series.

More evidence has emerged - in the form of another petty DCCC attack against the organization - which further supports our argument that Freedoms Watch is indeed making a difference.

Walter Alarkon of The Hill's Briefing Room blog has the full scoop:

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has filed another complaint against a television ad run by a conservative advocacy group in Louisiana’s 6th congressional district race.

In its complaint to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the DCCC charges that the spot by Freedom’s Watch, which tries to tie the Democratic candidate Don Cazayoux to excessive government spending, breaks election law by taking a position on Cazayoux’s voting record. The DCCC views this as an appeal to vote against Cazayoux, which is prohibited three weeks before an election. The complaint also argues that the group broke the law by failing to disclose donors who each gave $1,000 or more for “the purpose of furthering electioneering communications.”

This is the DCCC’s second complaint to the FEC over the ad; last week, it had accused Freedom’s Watch with illegally coordinating its message with the National Republican Congressional Committee, which had run a similar ad about Cazayoux.

Here's the ad in question:
