Well, nothing really. But I was endorsed by the 5th Representative District and 18th Representative District Democratic Committees in Bear, adding to the growing list of local and statewide Democratic organizations that have endorsed my candidacy.

As for the number zero, it represents the number of brain cells that appear to have gone into Senator McCain’s half-baked proposal to “reform” health insurance in America that he released yesterday. As the Washington Post points out this morning, McCain’s newest proposal was generated in part by Elizabeth Edwards’ pointed observation that under his last proposal, neither she nor McCain could purchase health insurance due to their pre-existing illnesses. Hence, McCain’s newest proposal: cut off any government incentive for employers to provide health insurance, give already-cash-strapped Americans a $5,000 tax credit to purchase $12,000 worth of health insurance that their employer will no longer provide, eviscerate state regulation of health insurers, and chuck some money at the states to figure out some way to provide coverage to people who are uninsurable due to pre-existing illness. People, we really need to win this election.
