The bush immigration plan?

A lot of folks have been unhappy about bush’s immigration plan. Some folks on the left think it does not open things enough and some on the right think he’s opening the borders like a sieve. Perhaps, though, this is just diversion.,
The true bush administration policy may be the consequence of many other administration actions and ultimately reverse the flow of people across US borders. Really, who would want to come to a regime every bit as oppressive as communism.


Electoral College Status

This electoral vote tracking site is nfty. You can start with a current map and track backward to see the day by day changes as new polls are released. I’d like to see the Votemaster add a “next” link so that I could pick, say, June 1, 2004 and go forward.
As Tegan notes:

Watching the votes bounce around as new polls are taken is fascinating and more than a little scary.
For instance, on 6/22 Bush leads 285 to 253 and on 6/24 Kerry leads 300 to 228. It is volatile out there!
