Are there any guardrails left?

Autocratic forces are ascendant in America, but the story isn’t fully written. Truth-telling independent media is one remaining bulwark against the unrestrained exercise of power. At a time when billionaire owners of corporate media are making accommodations to power, our nonprofit newsroom cannot be bought, bent, or broken. Depend on it, and please stand with us.

What with the debt ceiling and the eurozone crisis and the S&P downgrade, I haven’t spent any time digging into the Wisconsin recall election and blogging about it. But Andy Kroll has been doing yeoman work on the recalls, and today he has a great short handicapping of the six races that will be decided tomorrow. Nickel version: it’s gonna be a squeaker. Definitely worth a read.
