  ChrisWeigant.com — Authority: 421
  Our illustrious (cough, cough) White House press corps showed it could get to the bottom of a story with impressively journalistic and probative skills this week.

• Get Your 2010 Attack Ads, One Year Early

  
  RedState — Authority: 820
  While it was largely lost in the debate over passage of Pelosi-care on Saturday night, it may turn out that the most politically costly vote many Democrats cast was against the Motion to Recommit.

• Democrats Vulnerabilities on Youth

  
  Future Majority - - blogging progressive youth politics — Authority: 527
  I want to follow up Sarahs post with another to underscore something she wrote: The moral of the story continues to be that young voters will turn out if they are graced with the same outreach as older voters.

  New England Republican — Authority: 500
  I’m not a follower of western religions; I practice Daoism (Tao). I have since the early ‘60’s, more of the philosophy than the religious aspects, but they cannot easily be separated.

  ChrisWeigant.com — Authority: 421
  The two prevailing views so far seem to be: "Good news for Republicans!" and, alternatively, "Good news for Democrats!" It is possible that neither are true, and yet neither entirely false. There was certainly some interesting news, but its tough to read amongst all the spin.

• Election trends worth watching

  
  Ezra Klein — Authority: 809
  Dismissive as I am of trying to read too deeply into a small handful of statewide, off-year elections, there are a couple of structural trends worth keeping an eye on.

• NY23 Aftermath

  
  BitsBlog — Authority: 140
  Doug Hoffman narrowly lost the vote in NY23 last night, but that is almost inconsequential to the larger issues surrounding this election.
