Week in Review

What a week !
fatcat politicsWith all that's been going on this week I thought it would be appropriate to highlight what has come down the pike.   Many may not know about MyDD other than it is the blogroot-mentor of Markos and other high profile bloggers.   MyDD has taken the initiate to cover elections, present and future and feature how it is in out power to help remove the Republicans from power in Congress.   I had decided the theme for this post before I dialed in to MyDD to check out some of the races, especially the one developing with Paul Hacket in Ohio.   Seems like Chris had the same idea of a week in review also.   I will list the things he has documented and a few more in an effort to show just how much the Republicans are coming unwound.   I just love the smell of grand jury indictments in the mornin'   - fc
