Audio of the Brecht Forum Obama panel, with me vs. the fan club, is now available at: <http://www.wallstreetthebook.com/BrechtObamaPanel.mp3>. The Brecht people had posted a large QuickTime file to YouSendIt. I converted it to a 64kpbs mono mp3. It's about 70 minutes, and 32 megs. And the sound quality isn't so good. But there you go. Doug

7744 [lbo-talk] more on the young 'uns -- rank: 1000
Stan Greenberg & Co. have a new report out on the youth vote, which is tilting heavily Dem. Part of the reason for this, they say, is the crash of the GOP "brand" and a broad liberal surge. <http://www.democracycorps.com/strategy/2008/06/rising-wave-among- young-people/?section=Analysis> The Crash of the Republican Brand The Republican brand was so diminished among young people it was not clear it could crash further. But it did. On every metric, from the support for the ...

7745 [lbo-talk] Donatella luvs Barry -- rank: 1000
<http://jezebel.com/5018893/the-politics-of-style> The Politics Of Style You can add Donatella Versace to the list of Obama's swooning fans; the bronzed designer dedicated her Spring-Summer menswear collection to the presumptive nominee, 'a relaxed man who doesn't need to flex muscles to show he has power.' That said, she was not without pointers for the junior senator: "I would get rid of the tie and jazz up the shirt," she said - words Obama should heed if eager to reel in ...

<http://insidehighered.com/news/2008/06/18/pluto> JUNE 18 Michigan Severs Ties to Controversial Publisher In September, the University of Michigan Press faced intense criticism from pro-Israel groups and questions from some regents over its distribution of a book called Overcoming Zionism, which argues that the creation of Israel was a mistake and urges adoption of the one state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which Israelis and Palestinians would form a new coun ...

7748 [lbo-talk] U Mich dropping Pluto -- rank: 1000
The University of Michigan Press has stopped distributing Pluto Press books, because of the outcry over Joel Kovel's book, Overcoming Zionism. The director of the press, Phil Pochoda, was my agent on The State of the USA Atlas in 1993-4. I just sent this to him. I'd urge everyone else to join in. Doug ---- To: Phil Pochoda <pochoda at umich.edu> Dear Phil Pochoda - Way back in 1993 and 1994, when you were my agent on The State of the USA Atlas, I got to like and respect you. But I've ...

7754 [lbo-talk] youth turnout -- rank: 1000
Yesterday, I quoted an analysis by Gary Langer, ABC's "poobah of polling," reporting that the black turnout in the primaries was up proportionately with everyone else's - turnout in all groups was up, so the black share of the vote was in line with past averages. I wrote Langer to ask about the youth vote. Here's his response: "Doug - Under-30s made up 14 percent of 08 Dem primary voters per our exit polls. That's exactly the average in data from 1976-2004. That said, there ...
