Utah  
   Utah's residential treatment programs: Eight dead kids and counting...

Texas
   Texas Kaos is keeping track of the numbnuttery of Texas legislators between sessions.  They may need to add staff.  Texas State Senator Kevin Eltife is concerned about a condom crisis at U Tyler.  The crisis is that the university clinic is making condoms available to college students-who would never THINK about having sex without free condoms.   Of course.  

Texas  
   Texas bloggers were vocally unhappy (as were a lot of other activists) when some members of the Democratic Legislative Caucus split to support powerhappy Speaker Tom Craddick.  Primaries are afoot for many of the Iscariot Caucus, and some of the"Iscariot Caucus" are deciding to call it a day rather than face their constituents.

South Dakota
   Badlands Blue takes a look at Why Cellulosic Ethanol is the Way to Go.

Oklahoma
   Blue Oklahoma makes sure that John Sullivan's vote against health care for kids is duly noted, even though he overlooked mentioning it in his latest constituent communication.  An oversight, we're sure Rep. Sullivan will appreciate having corrected.

Ohio
   And in a  Rules are for OTHER People Doubleheader, Buckeye State Blog notes that Bob Latta gets smacked around  by the normally very genteel (and non-partisan) folks at Project Vote Smart.

North Dakota  
   When some right winger tries to tell you Ann Coulter doesn't represent the Republican Party, ask them why North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer calls Acid Annie  one of his favorite people".  Ah, that's some real heartland values, Kevin.

North Carolina  
    Astroturf Rising in NC.  Fortunately, Blue NC is on top of the developments.

   Show Me Progress, meanwhile, is keeping an eye on Matt"Baby" Blunt's financials.  Seems that while he denies fundraising in the Governor's Mansion, his campaign report tells a different story.

Missouri  
   Fired Up Missouri takes the St Louis Post Dispatch to task for what should be an appalling ethical lapse-but is all too common.  Letting a right-wing hatchetwoman opine as if she were a disinterested observer shouldn't even be a close call, but apparently no worries for the P-D.

Mississippi
   Cottonmouth Blog follows the creative response of State Lege candidate Jim Payne to the mystery of the disappearing campaign signs.  He's incorporated it into his campaign ads.  Check out the videos.

Minnesota  
   Minnesota Campaign report has a two part (at this time) series with MN-02 candidate Steve Sarvi.   Excellent work.

Maryland  
   A Maryland state lawmaker decries the culture of secrecy surrounding political appointments in Montgomery County.

Maine  
   Turn Maine Blue has the story of just how incompentent Lance Dutson to run an advertising campaign. (Hint, he not only can't get it together to do a Google ad, he thinks nothing of trumpeting the fact.)  Once again, reality out satires satire.

Louisiana

Louisiana
   LA-GOV: Jindal campaign accepts hundreds of thousands in ethically and legally questionable contributions

Louisiana
   A Democrat refuses to apply the law equally to Republicans ... only in Louisiana, kids!  

Kentucky
   BlueGrassRoots is feeling the Yarmuth! love after the freshman Rep stood up for the Constitution.   More and BETTER Democrats.

Indiana  
   So, how stupid is the Indiana Republican Party?  Stupid enough to send mail to South Bend from Indianapolis dissing that fair city.  That's several bales of stupid, for those of you keeping score at home.

Illinois  
   Prairie State Blue is  following the  Kabuki theatre surrounding Dennis Hastert's resignation, and what will happen after the Hokey Pokey antics are over, and IL-14 needs a new representative.

Georgia  
   GWelcome news over at Tondee's Tavern as well.  Josh Lanier is forming an exploratory committee for a run against Saxby Chambliss.  Run, Josh, RUN.

Florida  
   Good news out of South Florida.  Fla Politics reports "No More Free Ride for South Florida Republicans".  Suh-weet.

Colorado  
   At Square State, they've got the skinny on when a civil rights initiative ain't.  When Ward Connerly decides to export some cranky California crazy to tamp down affirmative action,don't just say no.  Say"hell no".

California  
   Calitics is keeping an eye on what passes for healthcare reform in Schwarzenegger's fevered brain.  Still stinks.  Bet you're as surprised as we are.

Alabama  
   Alabama's 5 Republican Congressman voted against working families to support Bush's veto of S-CHIP reauthorization.  Alabama needs fewer Republican Congressmen.
