Reading CNN.com last night, I saw an interesting headline: “Schwarzenegger to Limbaugh: I’m not selling out” Curious, I clicked.
The synopsis? Rush: Arnold is a “closet liberal.” “Why are you selling out instead of being the true conservative you are?” Schwarzenegger: “”I’m the people’s servant of California.” “It’s just doing work for the people. … […]

Go read this Iowa Progress post. Danny Carroll originally blamed the Grinnell College Democrats for his loss in HD-35, where Eric Palmer beat him in a re-match from 2004. Then Joshua Green sat down with him and helped blame gay people. And Danny Carroll believed him and bought the idea that it […]

Excerpt:

The National Journal has a good story available online today called “The Value of a Vote” that discussed the importance of money in politics, particularly in the 2006 midterm elections and how expenditures impacted the electorate.
