TODAY'S NEWS HEADLINES for INDEPENDENT VOTERS

  • Independent Voters Tilt Toward Democrats -IN A TWO-PARTY SYSTEM (Associated Press)
  • Diary of a Mad Voter-Dan Rostad on NewWest (The Voice of the Rocky Mountains): I have to admit, I looked long and hard at this post before recommending to Hankster readers, but I think it's worth a glance... Montana's Jon Tester gets a rounding for supporting statehood for Washington DC citizens (huh??)... And from another post: "You can't separate capitalism and democracy. You can't--or shouldn't--pit one against the other. They are as intertwined as clouds and rain. ..." (well, THAT's bleak!)... And here's a really interesting theory: "In a haphazard experiment released this month in Nature Neuroscience, scientists from New York University and the University of California at Los Angeles claim that they have successfully navigated the neurobiology of politics, and in doing so, have discovered that certain brain activity can be directly tied to an individual's political ideology....." (Really, were we BORN partisan????) .... And then finally, "In contemporary American life, unions are largely irrelevant -- that is, everywhere except for politics. Union bosses regularly abuse workers to achieve their political objectives -- and in states like Colorado, they get away with it...."
  • Clinton makes the Sunday talk-show rounds (LA Times)

Read on, and be happy you're an independent!!!
