I’m Already Bored of Republican Flip-Flop Coverage

Right now, it’s all ideological reversals, all the time:

McCain: “Which side am I on? As John McCain eyes the White House in ’08, he is at war with himself over Bush’s escalation in Iraq.” Salon, Feb 20, 2007.

McCain: “Welcome to McCain’s flip-flop express.” Philadelphia Inquirer, Feb 18, 2007.

Romney: “The Talented Mr. Romney.” Washington Post, Feb 20, 2007.

Romney: “Governor Romney, Meet Governor Romney.” Newsweek, Feb 26, 2007 issue.

That’s just stuff I found surfing the web today. If you have been paying attention, you’ll have noticed coverage of Romney and McCain’s flip-flops at this nefarious institution.

Late Update: It’s two in two days for the WaPo editorial section! “Mitt Romney’s Extreme Makeover” Washington Post, Feb 21, 2007.

DECEMBER IS MAKE OR BREAK

A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. That’s risky, because a strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength—but a weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

The December 31 deadline is closing in fast. To reach our $400,000 goal, we need readers who’ve never given before to join the ranks of MoJo donors. And we need our steadfast supporters to give again—any amount today.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do.

That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
