A Blogger Symposium On The California Recall: On Sunday night, I got together to discuss the California recall with Scott Ott from Scrappleface, Betsy Newmark from Betsy's Page, Scott "The Big Trunk" Johnson from Powerline, & California resident Madison "Moxie" Slade from The Moxology. Here's the edited transcript of that conversation (Cont)

***Update***: The 9th Circuit Court in San Fran has just moved the recall back until March 7, 2004. I guess McClintock was right to hang in there, huh? How attractive is Arnold going to be by then? Will Davis be able to get back in the good graces of the voters? Will Bustamante renounce MECha beofore then? Will Simon or Peter Ueberroth get back in? Can Gary Coleman build up his support...and most importantly, will anyone still care by then?

A Blogger Symposium On The 2004 Election: Thanks to Laurence Simon from Amish Tech Support, Talk Radio Host Cam Edwards who also runs a blog called Cam Edwards.com, David Hogberg of Cornfield Commentary & The American Spectator Online, Pejman Yousefzadeh from Pejmanesque, & Kamil Zogby from Zogby Blog for participating in this symposium. Here is the edited transcript of our discussion last night...

John Hawkins: To begin with, unless Hilliary or Gore got in the race, I'd say Dean, Kerry, Gephardt, Lieberman, & Edwards are the only candidates with even an outside chance to get the nomination. Do you agree?

Pejman Yousefzadeh: Yes. But, Al Sharpton can definitely play spoiler and can make life miserable for the other candidates.

Laurence Simon: Not only will I put a "no" on Lieberman, but I would not count Sharpton out of it. Sharpton is not just a spoiler, but can rally the 'disenfranchised' voter. He could mount one heck of a protest vote.

David Hogberg: I'd leave Lieberman out -- the base wants a lefty, he's still too moderate. (Cont)

A Blogger Symposium On The Post 9/11 World Order: I'd like to thank Bill Whittle of Eject! Eject! Eject! & Radley Balko, editor for The CATO Institute website, a biweekly columnist with Fox News, a contributor to Tech Central Station, & also the owner of The Agitator, for participating in this discussion. We got together yesterday afternoon in a chat room and had a nice, long talk. Then after a bit of editing, it came straight to you. I think you'll find this to be quite an interesting little symposium.

A Blogger Symposium On The Israeli/Palestinian Conflict: I got together a stellar crew of bloggers yesterday afternoon to discuss the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Our group consisted of...

-- Charles Johnson from Little Green Footballs.

-- John Little from Blogs of War.

-- Damian Penny from Daimnation!

-- Ben Shapiro, a syndicated columnist with Town Hall among other publications, who also runs Ben Shapiro Online.

-- Allison Kaplan Sommer, an Israeli who wrote for "The Jerusalem Post" for 12 years and now runs An Unsealed Room.

After discussing the "Roadmap to Peace", the "Right of Return", "Transfer", among other things, I edited the chat down and posted it to RWN. Believe it or not, I think I qualified as a moderate in this crowd. Furthermore, if you're looking for optimism or the same tired political cliches that get tossed around these days about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, well, this may not be your cup of tea. Read and enjoy...(Cont).

A Chat About The War With Bill Quick & Andrew Stuttaford: I got together to discuss the war with noted author & blogger Bill Quick from Daily Pundit & Andrew Stuttaford, a contributing editor for National Review Online. John Little from Blogs of War was supposed to join us as well, but unfortunately technical problems prevented him getting in on the chat. After a bit of discussion, we decided to push on without John. Here is the edited transcript of our discussion that covered a variety of issues including how the war is going, media coverage of the war, the EU, France, Tony Blair and numerous other issues.
