Generation Miami says Joe Garcia joins the Obama Administration. Subject to Senate confirmation,
he'll head the Office of Minority Economic Impact for the Department of Energy. Joe's a real smart guy, with energy experience, so I imagine
it's a good fit.

Joe Garcia got a rousing welcome at the Democratic National Convention (see the video), which briefly
overwhelmed the moderator. (The National Journal said, "Joe Garcia may have stolen the show as he

Joe Garcia has been hanging out at Netroots Nation and talking to bloggers. He's also being
interviewed by bloggers and traditional media. Here he is being interviewed by MTV: I wish I could say this shows he has the media at his feet, but it's not quite as good as that.

If you understand Spanish, you will probably enjoy these video clips unearthed by a writer at Daily Kos in which Democratic Congressional Candidate Joe Garcia (FL-25) faces off with Frank Calzon of the Center for Free Cuba on the issue of what his Center is doing

... my career in public life. Herrick Feinstein's Steven Feldman, a former SDNY prosecutor, told us: "The average Joe being investigated by
the Southern District doesnt get a letter like this. If a guy was being charged or was being investigated, he was never cleared in a public way." As for the timing of the announcement,
Feldman says it's probably related to the imminent departure of Garcia, who was appointed by President Bush. "He may be wanting to tie up loose
ends" and wouldn't want to pass ...

While I was away, Annette Taddeo endorsed the Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq. (Joe Garcia
had endorsed it previously.) It's not a perfect plan, but nothing to do with Iraq is perfect, and this is the basis for as good a solution as we're likely to get. Also while I was away,
Joe Garcia's campaign started a blog they're calling A Cup of Joe. There's an Atom RSS feed. Looks good.
