I'm a little late today. Sorry about that. I'm in New Orleans and the time change from NYC is killing me. In today's rescue we've got some great stuff - potential House pickups, a nurses' union slapping around the Governator, an anatomy of GOP voter disenfranchisement and more. Thanks to JasonThe for helping with this diary rescue.
In Politicization at the DOJ leads to Questionable Voter Purge Attempts, Project Vote provides us with the anatomy of a GOP attempt to disenfranchise low-income voters and people of color.
goldenvalleydfl reports from Minnesota on a Democratic senate debate between Mike Ciresi, Jim Cohen, Al Franken, and Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, all of whom are vying to compete for Republican Norm Coleman's seat. The diary also hooks us up with YouTube video of the entire debate, as well as a Minnesota blogger roundup.
Despite being an incredibly important story, this diary about conservative dominance of the Op-Ed pages by David Brock of Media Matters didn't generate much discussion. If you missed it earlier this week, be sure to check it out now.
In Community Organizing and Urban Education: Why Churches?, Education Action discusses the role of churches in building social and political capital in urban areas, and the challenges progressives face in forming diverse coalitions.
California Nurses Shum again posts a wonderful diary outlining the successes of the NNOC/CNA in organizing nurses across the country and in battling the Governator and insurance industries in California. The nurses are spoiling for a ballot fight against those two forces and they've got a shot at winning.
