“Electoral College reform gains steam.” Why do Californians love Democracy?

Barak Obama likes bloggers. Is he running in ’08?

Firedoglake has an excellent post up about unions.

Time does a story on the growth of hate groups over the issue of immigration.

There is no debate about global warming. Except among energy companies and the Bush administration. Listen to Al Gore on Fresh Air talk about his documentary and global warming.

Has Karl Rove lost his touch? He’s planning to package the 2006 elections around the US economy.
