Late afternoon/early evening open thread

What you missed on Sunday Kos ...

  • Dante Atkins expounded on an overarching theory of progressivism.
  • Gallup is out with their semi-annual state-by-state analysis of the job approval ratings for President Obama. Steve Singiser looked at those numbers and at the electoral college and offered a rough snapshot of the state of the 2012 presidential sweepstakes.
  • Denise Oliver Velez explored why we have abandoned the idea of the working class and substituted it for a "fuzzy" middle.

  • The Tea Partiers have broken loose from their Republican keepers. Hunter asked what happens next.
  • DemFromCT reviewed escalating medical costs and why demands not to touch Medicare at all cannot be satisfied.

The Plum Line: Newsflash -- Recalls are legitimate in Wisconsin

Ezra Klein, on last night's events in Wisconsin: It seems to me that the system worked. Democrats were able to slow the process down and convince both voters in Wisconsin and the national media that there was something beyond business as usual happening in Madison. National and state polls sh...
