Electoral Vote Dot Com is back!!
As you might recall from the 2004 election cycle, one of my favorite sites was Electoral Vote Dot Com. They were awesome in their efforts to get us solid data as the Republican noise machine worked 24/7 trying to keep us from getting the information together. When they failed to try to talk over us, they started a wholesale attack on the website to take it down. Actually the assault became quite an organizing point for us. They took the logs from the attack and made them the topic university research on how to stop those kinds of attacks going forward. We were younger and much weaker back when the Republicans attacked us then. We've all become a lot smarter about the Republican attack forms on the Internet. All the big sites have learned how to deal with these kinds of attacks and we are stronger and faster than we use to be. I expect that we will see the Republicans along with their rewriting of history campaign that we see them rolling out now, the wholesale assaults on all the major liberal sites towards election time. Since they work with unlimited resources, I don't know that we will fair any better, but there are more of us now and I think we will be able last a lot longer against them. I've put the current Senate make-up vote count on the left hand column.
