The always-nefarious Beltway Bloggers are meeting tonight at John Harvard's near Metro Center. If you're reading this and you're near DC, step away from the keyboard and come get beer. W

The headline reads: With Gore, It's Back to the Familiar. Unsurprisingly, the article prominently features Gore getting back to what he does so well: flat-out lie.
Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" today, Gore said: "I don't like the argument that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. It may be true, but my argument that I much prefer is, I want to convince all of the voters to support me with enthusiasm, and where issues like the environment are concerned, I'll put my record up against anybody's."
Interviewer Charles Gibson was incredulous, pointing out that Gore is running ads that say explicitly, "A vote for Nader is a vote for Bush."
He doesn't like the argument, but his campaign is making it anyway.This man is a leader? This man thinks he can run the government? If he can't even control his own advertising flunkies, who presumably need written approval to scratch their buttocks, how in the world does he plan to control the largest federal government in history?

Despite being a married woman, I adore Noah Wylie. Nonetheless, my only surprise in hearing about the FTC challenge to the milk ad featuring my favorite not-a-doctor-but-plays-one-on-TV is that it took this long. W

I am nether a Democrat, nor a progessive, but I'll certainly condescend to give them both advice.
In order to get what they want, Nader supporters have to cost Gore this election.... Until the Democratic Party learns that it must satisfy its left wing or it will lose, it will continue to leave progressives out in the cold.

Link from MeFi: Although I didn't guess correctly who was behind it, I did correctly determine that the billboard was no accident. What a waste of a great idea, though. W

Disconnect: While Gore has been criticizing the Texas record, his boss in the White house clearly has other ideas:
The White House has a Web section listing "Clinton-Gore administration accomplishments" state by state. Some of the headlines for Texas sound like a campaign ad that could be run by Gov. Bush, the Republican presidential candidate, and not at all like the Texas that Gore is describing in his Democratic campaign.
The White House site is quite an impressive list of accomplishments, while Gore would have you think Texas has spent the last five years regressing into the Stone Age. So, I just can't figure it out - when Gore and Clinton are at odds, is it possible that they're both lying? W
An ad agency has trouble telling the candidates apart on this North Carolina billboard. (Later, I wondered if this is a teaser for a Nader ad?) W
