Friday flights from Kansas to the Beltway

By Diane Silver

Almost every morning, I get up, get a cup of tea, go to the computer and surf the web for interesting reads. Today, I thought I share a few of my finds.

This morning The Washington Post muses (scroll down in the story) that the battle between the moderate and right wing of the Kansas GOP could undermine Republican efforts to defeat Nancy Boyda in the 2nd Congressional District.

Alternet takes on the topic of the progressive blogosphere and links to two interesting articles. The Washington Post profiles the youngish websters who are making waves in presidential campaigns. It's worth reading to get a sense of who's who.

Joan Walsh's thoughts on last night's GOP presidential debate are interesting. Her take is that the Democrats, who were not in attendance, were among the big winners.
