Having never been to Crimson and Brews, but have driven by, I am shocked that there is a “beneath” to that place!

When you don't have millions and millions of bribes flowing in from the telecom and oil industries (like a certain McCandidate,) I guess you forgo the more expensive digs.

I've never even heard of “Crimson and Brews.” If the Democratic headquarters are located below, is that where Fifi's Restaurant was? I can't picture the location.

The building is owned by a committed liberal and the space doesn't appear to have been rented since Audio/Video Services left, so the owner may be giving it to them rent-free. It's certainly not a visible location, but since Moore and Boyda apparently believe they can't lose, big-time lobbyist Slattery is clearly not electable, and Obama can't win in Kansas, it may not be that important to them.

Considering the huge sums of money the financial services, hedge funds and banks contribute to the Obama campaign, you'd think they would have found a more prestigious location. I saw the sign for the “waves” contributions thrown outside today - you know, all those contributions that were solicited by the libs for the tsunami, which went into the pockets of corrupt government leaders rather than for the relief of the victims of the tsunami.Oh, well, if it feels good, do it…..By the way, considering that the investment banks, GSE's and hedge funds would be sucking air now if they were not on the receiving end of the unlimited, taxpayer funded check that Congress gave to the Treasury to bail out Wallstreet, it could be argued that Obama is, indeed, receiving government funding for his campaign. Otherwise, those checks written for campaign contributions by the financial high rollers in the Hamptons would be worth zero, nada, zilch.

Moore is the worst speaker in congress, if you get mad Maxine Waters, at least you know she's alive and animated! will Nancy Boyda storm out if somebody starts communicating good news?

Predictability is one thing you can count on when considering Dems. Obama is dotting Missouri with what, 15-20 HQ's in Missouri? Can Kansas beat this? I thought Obama was from Kansas–-going after Kansas Red State reputation?

Oh goody, more irritating bumper stickers. At least Republicans don't rip or tear off Democrat campaign stickers.I wish I could support MY candidate with a bumper sticker. Freedom of speech doesn't apply to Republicans if you're a demonrat.

A whining Republican on here whining about, of all things, Democrats supposedly whining. Funny and sad in one fell swoop. Boo hoo, the Democrats have a headquarters in town. Boo hoo go the usual crocodile tears from the Right. I suspect I'll see more of them crocodile tears in St. Paul about how “unpopular” McCain is while Obama is “popular.” (Or is he just the better choice?) Even those in the military find Obama more “popular.” Oh how the tears will flow in St. Paul.

barry h. obama is indeed shrinking in the polls. and hilary rolled him on the convention. if he can't negotiate with hilary, how's he gonna deal with putin? on georgia, first words: obama “both sides should show restraint;” McCain “invasion!” so, according to obama's first reaction, if you're in your house and a burglar breaks in, you should “show restraint!” and, don't forget your tire gage Bea! after three days, obama, the most inexperienced candidate ever to be nominated by a major party, “refined” his views towards McCain's. no Bea, no tears here, more like laughs and jabs. it is an odd place for party hq. and, please don't give boyda good news, she'll storm out on ya'! keep clinging to obama. you call cindy McCain elitist. yet it was your beloved candidate who said we in mid-amerika cling to our god and our guns because we are *bitter!* he said this to a roomful of wealthy san francisco elitists! and I repeat, I think you, Bea, are actually jealous of Cindy McCain.

With McCain at Brandon Woods, and Obama and the state's Yellow Dog Democrats under a dive - the stage is set for an important US presidential election in Kansas.It's fitting for a community that has no real character, no class, no political culture, and a third-rate public university that values the hype of college athletics and business interests over its intended mission of providing a great, low-cost college education for each and every resident of Kansas.The national Democratic Party is a disgrace, and should be disbanded, or outlawed. The national Republican Party - and it's many local and regional pretenders and toads should be rounded up, tried, jailed - and dispatched.Meanwhile, rest soundly, in the knowing of the local governing body's extortion of the public purse, with its regressive sales tax proposals, to pay for essential services, while handing publicly-subsidized biscuits and gravy to its hungry pals in development and real estate.And these frauds continue to pretend they believe in a Christian GOD?

swine-diver:It's fitting for a community that has no real character, no class, no political culture, and a third-rate public university that values the hype of college–hey, if its that bad, why are you here? you're obviously adding to the congestion, constipation, and consternation. typical vapid empty SD post. but, useful. we're on saturday, the day the dems open their den; and comments on this thread, its near the top! good. maybe more of them will see this and get educated. remember, be careful not to communicate good news: boyda will storm out!
