Jim Neal has started a diary on the Daily Kos.
The Democratic senatorial candidate second post blames the "out-of-touch, inside-the-Beltway impotency of the Bush Administration" for economic problems.
"For the past 6 years, their single-minded focus on fighting the war on terror has left our economic security in the hands of special interest forces and the market economy," he writes.
He calls for investing in alternative energy, creating universal health care, expanding microloan programs and investing in college education.
Neal is not the only North Carolina Democrat on Markos Moulitsas ZĂșniga's progressive blog site. U.S. Rep. Brad Miller and Congressional candidate Marshall Adame also have diaries.




Conservative equivalents
I always find it amusing that so-called conservatives get in a tizzy by a little swearing in the blogosphere. Because you know what's really obscene? What's really obscene is what the Republican Party and the Bush Administration - with full support of people like Elizabeth Dole - have done to the integrity of our nation.
In seven short years, we have slipped from being a beacon of hope in the world to a symbol of moral bankruptcy with a liar in the White House who is driving this country over a financial cliff that will take generations to recover.
That is what is obscene.
