I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.

Where's Howard: Spain or Washington, DC? California, too?
The AP says he's going to Madrid, but the Where's Howard site says he's got a lot of meetings set up inside the Beltway this week and doubts that he will make it to the Iberian peninsula. There is also commentary there of how Dean works the insiders as well as the outsiders, and how the power brokers are changing their attitude toward him. Meanwhile, "Dean's money machine to fight Schwarzenegger-- Financial war ahead over special election," says the SF Chronicle. The story covers Democracy for California's campaign to oppose Schwarzenegger's plan to pass ballot initiatives that would "strip lawmakers of the ability to draw political districts, cap the amount the state pays into employee pensions, adopt a new spending cap, change how teachers are paid and extend the time it takes for teachers to obtain tenure." Sounds like Rove meets Tim Eyman. If you have a Democratic legislature, take away their power. Watch out Evergreeners.
