Recall oped Dan Weintraub talks to California historian Kevin Starr here.
McCain-Feingold opeds Michael Bailey offers "Avoidance of Corruption More Vital than Absolute Free Speech" in the Salt Lake Tribune; Robert Robb offers "Money Maze Flusters Flake" in the Arizona Republic. The latter oped begins: "If the U.S. Supreme Court wants an illustration of how McCain-Feingold interferes with political speech, Congressman Jeff Flake's efforts to repeal Arizona's system of public campaign financing could be Exhibit A." (John McCain's Washington Post oped, "Why We Must Win," is about Iraq, not the Supreme Court's hearing in the campaign finance case.)
"In California They Run. In Texas They Run Away." The New York Times offers this Week in Review piece comparing the California recall and the Texas re-redistricting issues.

"Rehnquist May be Key for Campaign Finance" The Washington Post offers this report on the upcoming McCain-Feingold oral argument.
