The Progressive States Network runs down some highlights (and embarrassments) from the latest session. If Dems don't win back two seats in the House it's going to get even more embarrassing.

Excellent point. Obama seems to think charter schools are the answer, and strong-armed Dems in the legislature to expand them.
