Fitzpatrick is trying to narrow choice to be all about Roe v. Wade, which isn't surprising. But his comment about choice not being a House issue is ridiculous. If we look at Choice from the more accurate perspecitive of including Title X funding (here and overseas) and the way that the House has, over the last few years, been restricting overseas aide based on compliance with the anti-choice platorm of outlawing abortion and support the fanciful abstinence-only sex-ed policies of BushCo's administration, then Choice certainly is a House issue. I didn't even mention women's access to emergency contraception - which would be voted on in the House as well.

I don't think that blogs are becoming famous because of their anti-establishment views. Instead, I think it is quite clear that blogs are becoming famous when they actually accomplish something.
To accomplish something, although I'm not always sure what that is. Most of the time lately, it's to get Ginny Schrader more coverage and donations. After the election, I have other plans but they all include blogging as the central aspect of the organization.
The person I remember most clearly from high school english is Samuel Pepys because he lived and wrote and his work survived. The first draft of history isn't the idiot corporate media, it's the journals, diaries and now, blogs of the people who live it. I want in.
The articles have the story exactly right for a change. Ginny has been 100% consistent on this issue while Fitzpatrick can't seem to figure out how much of his true agenda to release to the press.
Ginny got into this race when she was facing the sainted Jim Greenwood - and she was the better candidate THEN. She's head and shoulders above the new guy on every issue. She deserves our support for that kind of courage and dedication.

I agree. I blog for two reasons:
