Kate Walsh on Offshore Oil Drilling

Kate Walsh, who plays Dr. Addison Montgomery on Private Practice and formerly Grey's Anatomy, is in DC this week boosting Oceana's anti-offshore-drilling campaign on the anniversary of the BP spill.

It's Time to Vote ... for your favorite Obama health care video!

This is a follow-up to my October 7th post about Organizing for America's video challenge --

We just finished going through the submissions to Organizing for America's Health Reform Video Challenge, and they're great. There are personal stories that grab your heart, brilliant summaries of what reform would really mean, and plenty of biting satire that calls out the insurance lobbyists.

Out of nearly a thousand excellent videos submitted, we're down to the top 20. Now it's your turn to watch the finalists and vote for your favorites -- and then we'll air the winner on national television.

The top 20 ads will also be voted on by our panel of experts and artists, including Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, animator and director Seth MacFarlane, actress Kate Walsh, Obama for America campaign manager David Plouffe, and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine.



As an aside, check out the story of Obama's first meeting with Kate Walsh.

These were my favorite 3 videos of the 20 submitted - in no particular order --
