I pointed out to my brothers in a discussion a while back that there were quite a few Republicans speaking out against Bush (Richard Clarke, Paul O’Neill, Joseph C. Wilson are just a few). Now there’s a website of Republicans for Kerry, and a Yahoo group as well.

Al Franken’s show on Air America Radio has it’s own blog now… and an excellent one it is, too. As does Jeaneane Garafalo’s Majority Report.

The Center for American progress analyzes Condoleezza Rice’s testimony to the 9/11 Commission — first they tackle her opening statement, then they do a “Claim vs. Fact” analysis of the rest of her testimony.
