Care2 Election Blog My bloggy good friend, Catherine Morgan, runs the elections blog of Care2. Here’s a good article from last fall about Care2 in general and an excerpt:
[Care2 is] an online community for green living and social change, has grown to include 7.75 million members and 250 nonprofit partners. The company, which relies on ad sales and sponsorships to generate revenue, grew to $5.9 million last year and has been profitable for the past three years.
Care2′s site combines social action, environmental news and green tips with related discussion groups, as well as services such as e-cards, email, blogs, polls and petitions. Members register for free, and then can participate in any of the groups, actions and services.
Thanks for flagging the elections portion, Catherine – it looks very complete and user-friendly. I just signed up. 
Full Frontal Scrutiny is a joint venture between Consumer Reports WebWatch and the Center for Media and Democracy, two non-profit organizations whose mission includes consumer education using investigative reporting. This Web site seeks to expose front groups, which are organizations that state a particular agenda, while hiding or obscuring their identity, membership or sponsorship, or all three.
Pakistani Spectator – I learned of this site from a fellow TMV co-blogger, Swaraaj Chauhan, who wrote this post about a Pakistani woman, Dr. (Mrs) Ayesha Siddiqa Agha, who speaks out for women and her country. The full interview with Dr. Agha is here on the Pakistani Spectator.
Stop the Smears – from the National Jewish Democratic Council; includes new spreadsheet on where the Democratic primary candidates stand on Israel
Battleground Ohio (hattip to Buckeye State Blog) – some serious insiders involved, or so it appears
I’d discovered a couple of other Ohio blogs yesterday or the day before, but I lost them. Hopefully, as the election season progresses, they’ll re-emerge.

Thanks for the props Jill. I’m happy you like the Care2 Election Blog.
No problem! In fact, one of my longest-time blogging buddies in Ohio wrote me an e-mail and said very good things about Care2! Good luck with it – I’ll get it on that blogroll tonight.
