Week of March 11, 2007 - March 17, 2007

Morning Open Thread


Valerie Plame is on TV, I'm reading the US Attorney Purge Timeline, and I'm on my second cup of coffee. You?


Greg Anrig and Micah Sifry chime in on the future of the campaign reform movement.


Lawyer to the Netroots Adam Bonin on the campaign reform movement: "It's not that we don't trust reform; it's that we don't trust the reformers. With good reason."


For the next few days at TPMCafe, we'll be discussing Mark Schmitt's new piece in Democracy Journal challenging the campaign reform movement. Mark outlines the argument in his first post here.

News and Open Thread


Quick news: we'll be starting a conversation today on Mark Schmitt's new article in Democracy Journal, "Mismatching Funds." Mark looks at the 1990's effort from the perspective of a reform advocate to ask what went wrong and what's next. Writers and activists from around the campaign finance reform community have been invited to chime in (and others are certainly welcome). Mark's first post on the topic will go up soon.

For the thread, since TPM World HQ is still in full Purgegate mode, I'll pose the obvious question: how high will the resignations go? How high should they?

Morning Open Thread


We really should do more of these. We're having a very busy morning here in TPM World HQ, how's yours going? Share some wisdom.
