Late afternoon/early evening open thread

What's coming up on Sunday Kos ?.

  • Chris Bowers will give an update on the Ohio referendum to overturn the new law stripping public workers of their collective bargaining rights.
  • It's not hard to understand the reasons we have a deficit, but Mark Sumner finds it very hard to understand why the proposed budget deal addresses none of those reasons.
  • Laurence Lewis will take a look at Republican budget priorities, and what they say about Republicans.
  • Conservatives are total hypocrites when it comes to deciding whether tax breaks count as a government subsidy or not. Dante Atkins will elaborate.
  • Steve Singiser will look at the results out of Wisconsin this week, and will explain why Scott Walker and his allies should be very, very nervous.
  • brooklynbadboy will talk about the four years that have passed since he last saw Barack Obama and Al Sharpton together on stage.
  • Thanks to the prolific Public Policy Polling, we now have a test of how President Obama fares in every state likely to be targeted in 2012 against the GOP's four frontrunners. Arjun Jaikumar will run the numbers.
