Hint: It’s not a contest.

One of the interesting things about the Occupy Movement is to see how it grows in different directions. From one of the working groups in Zuccotti Park came Occupy the SEC. The idea of Occupy the SEC is to work at the policy and regulation level, not just in streets and parks.

Friday Open Thread [4.27.12]: Electoral College Map Edition

By Delaware Dem April 27, 201226 Comments

I am not sure what Rove is smoking making us think Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Dakota are only leaning Republican while Colorado is in the bag for Obama. It is most likely a Rovian mind trick, trying to get us to spend money there.
