We literally ran into the nicest Democrat in the universe -- Lanny Davis, right, above with Tuck yucking it up outside the elevator at the Goodwin Hotel in downtown Hartford this afternoon.
We were all set to blog a background piece on Hartford, where we met a red-state gal in the Starbucks of this blue-state bastion down the street from our hotel just after lunch. But when destiny calls, you blog to the moment. Heading for the elevator after checking out the armies of media trucks and satellite dishes outside the hotel, we saw a beautiful familiar face. "Lanny?" we asked tentatively . . . "Yes," he answered. Then we embraced, as we confessed we're a Republican covering Joey's victory party for Pajamas Media. He laughed and hugged back, and then all hell broke loose as the contents of his briefcase flew out in all directions.
"I won't photograph that," we volunteered in a spirit of bi-partisanship. We mentioned we'd seen him on Neil Cavuto's show last night. "Yes, I was on every show last night," he replied. He pondered as to why his briefcase wasn't locked, and we suggested perhaps he had something he wanted to leak.
Now that we've had this delightful and fateful introduction, we'll feel free to follow up on his invitation to look him up later on this evening to see if there's anything to this leak rumor we've started. Oh, and maybe to get a word or two with the bigtime winner of this latest silly season.
Maybe you can lead Lanny in the paths of righteousness. He looks like a nice fellow who has been led astray.

Sissy,
Tuck is a handsome devil.
As for Lanny Davis, my Mother always told me if I had nothing nice to say about someone to discuss the weather.. so how's the weather in Hartford ?

Liberman's victory sure is sweet.
The Kos Kids will go over the edge of insanity if Tester loses in Montana.

This is one of the interesting blogs i came across in recent times.
My name is Mark Johnson, and I've been visiting sisu for past few months
I’m a recent UC Berkeley Political science grad and I along with some fellow Princeton alums have been working hard to launch our own internet startup called Rizzleweb.com.
Rizzleweb is basically an online political community where people can log on and write performance reviews\comments for congressmen, senators, the president, and various other local and state officials across the country. I was hoping that if it would not be too much trouble you could place a link of our site on your blog. If this is not possible (which we completely understand), we still hope you will check out our site, and post some reviews.
Your contribution will encourage us to put more effort in improving our website.

I'm going to be VERY INTERESTED in seeing Joe Lieberman's next moves! And his victory is all the more sweet BECAUSE it'll drive the Kos Kids over the cliff!
TUCK is gorgeous! But don't tell him that - don't want to inflate his ego. And while he IS gorgeous - Tiny and Baby are more so! I'm just saying.
