Weekend Watchdog Wrap-Up

Disturbing job losses. Contentious fight over whether telecom companies can break the law and violate consumer privacy without accountability. Critical legislation that could put us on the path to a clean energy future.

None of these issues raised by the Watchdog [1] caught the attention [2] of the Sunday shows [3] yesterday. Nothing of import that would be useful to voters trying to make an informed decision. Instead, we had hour after hour of: what should we do about Florida and Michigan?

Not an altogether unimportant issue -- how our democracy should function -- but not a matter that is going help Democratic primary voters choose between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
