Ryan Grim and Sam Stein have an excellent piece on the coordinated efforts of various groups to support Bill Halter’s challenge to Blanche Lincoln. It represents the evolution of the efforts behind the Ned Lamont and Donna Edwards races, and now that the election is over, deserves some discussion.

Leadership in both parties has kept any kind of investigation into these government sponsored entities (GSEs) from happening. But Dennis Kuchinch is the Chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and he just doesn’t give a fuck.

It’s the right thing to do and it puts him in the driver’s seat. Good for Dennis.
